Just outta curiosity: What clear-channel (border-blaster or blowtorch) AM stations do you pick up in your area? Clear-channel (not to be confused with Clear Channel Communications) is a type of radio station that extends beyond their coverage at night to dozens of other states. (More info on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clear-channel_station))
Aside from my local ones; WBAP News/Talk 820 and KRLD NewsRadio 1080, the other stations I picked up so far are:
- KFAQ 1170 - Tulsa, OK
- KMOX 1120 - St. Louis, MO
- WHO 1040 - Des Moines, IA
- XEEP 1060 - Mexico City
There could be a few more signals to find, but I'm hoping to pick up other stations in San Antonio, Chicago, Los Angeles, New Orleans, and a few other cities.

I live in Daytona Beach, and on most nights I can hear my favorite stations from Boston, New York City, and Philadelphia clearly enough to enjoy listening to them.
-
I've never bothered to check, but am curious since reading about them a few weeks ago.

A few months ago, my roommate and I were clearly picking up AM stations from Nashville (600 miles away) on an old tube radio.
-
My radio picks up WFAN (660AM) in New York during the night. Sometimes the signal comes in during the day.

In Chicago...
WSCR - 670 AM
WGN - 720 AM
WBBM - 780 AM
WLS - 890 AM*
WMVP - 1000 AM
*WLS has been heard as far away as New Zealand. B)
One night several years ago, I was picking up an AM station from San Antonio. The sound quality was crystal clear.
