Nice audio on those. I'm guessing that other Chicago 50KWs could be heard up there during the clear channel days. During winter do you hear 670 from Boise and 780 from Reno?

Yup, ive heard KKOH under KNOM Nome which is only about 300 miles away from me
Here's the best audio i have of that:
Forgot about KNOM. I regularly hear that on the Hawaii SDRs during the winter.
The more I think about it, the more I can see where that could be the case.
RE: WYLL: I only heard that like three times, and IDed it once, as it was religion (the janet something or other show) underneath KSL's night time talk.
Only DX of note is KTNN 660 was in the other night with Native American music, on my Panasonic RF-B45. Always cool to hear them. They're not a regular, but I usually catch them once every week or so, depending on how long I monitor the channel (and conditions, of course).
I also have heard CFCP a few times over the past couple weeks on 6030 Khz on my Grundig G2. Sometimes it's buried under Marti, which also has reappeared after what seems to be almost a year-long hiatus.

Can you get WGN on 720 at night or KDWN?
YA obviuously missed where i said the only chicago station i heard was WYLL 1160
I have not heard anything besides KOTZ on 720 that i can recall amounting to much
I thought that one was LONG gone. When did they come back on? (And for that matter, why?). The old CFCF has been absent from 600 on the AM band for many years.
Yeah, the problem with trying to DX the Chicago clear channel stations in Alaska is that every single one of them has a “local” Alaskan station on the dial (670 has KDLG, 720 has KOTZ, 780 has KNOM and 890 has KBBI). Now if you lived in say southeast Alaska in Ketchikan or Juneau away from all those other Alaska stations, you probably would stand a better chance of snagging Chicago, but then you contend with the lower 48 West Coast stations on those frequencies that have to protect the Chicago clears and send most of their nighttime power up toward Alaska. Alaska is not the DXing dream that I thought it would be when I went there for the first time in the late summer of 2019. It was nice hearing KOMO, KFI, KGO, KNBR, etc…, but I did not catch anything east of the Rockies besides Canadian stations from Edmonton. Also, since it’s daylight most of the day, you don’t get that sky wave effect until the middle of the night and then for only a few hours. Winters I’d imagine are much better (if you can brave the cold 🥶).
Woops, I got a letter wrong. It's CFVP, the 6030 SW relay for CKMX, Calgary. They've been MIA for the last year or so, partially due to conditions, because Marti was MIA for a while, too. Oftentimes, if I heard anything, it was a trace of the Cuban jammer.
Winters are much better.. thats when i heard half of mroe of europe on AM in he morning before sunrise.
Thanks, boombox. My bad as well for not remembering that CFCX was on 6005 IIRC. I have no memory of having heard CFVP, although I do recall hearing the oldies on CHNX/6130 (again if I remember correctly).
Meanwhile, CFRX/6070 keeps on keepin' on.
theyve been missing because it was broken and off air.. work needed to be done and it could only be done with CKMX 1060 off.
I dont even recall if its at full power on 6030
Full power is just 100 watts. Might be able to modify an Amateur Radio rig to do that in a pinch.

Thanks for sharing yet another impressive list. A path from the Ozarks to New Jersey. Who'd have thunk it! I guess anything's possible in the E-skip season that keeps on giving.
I hear CFRX 6070 now and then.... mainly traces of audio fading up atop the static. In the early 2010's they were more readable. Nice to know they're still on the air, though. I think ham radio guys are keeping that one going.
Carmichael, CA
I was going to Walmart like I always do, on Manzanita Ave, I been hearing somethin on 103.7
Now I got it, Someone with a FM Transmitter has Cap Radio on 103.7, They could just listen on 90.9

I think you're absolutely guys about the ham radio guys keeping CFRX going....probably with no help from CFRB's staff or management. I also am under the impression that they're not as strong as previously. I wouldn't be surprised if they're running something less than a kilowatt.
