AM DXing from Columbus, Ohio

I'm not from Columbus OH but driving thru there late at nightthis summer the furthest stations received were KOA Denver and WOAI 1200 San Antonio. Nothing from the west coast was trying-no success.
 
I used to live in Jackson, MI - your best bets would probably be from California - KFI if they ever get back to full poser, KNX (which is a blowtorch in Dallas at night). Maybe KGO if you can null nearby 810's.
 
I've logged both KNX and KNBR-680. KGO would be rough here in Columbus with WOSU on adjacent 820. WGY was coming in nice and loud on 810 this morning, however.
 
I'm not sure how far east KOMO (1000) and KIRO (710) broadcast to the east. I suspect both protect 50,000 watt stations to the east in Chicago and NY, so I'm not sure you would ever be able to get them in Ohio.

In Oregon, there is a full-power station at 750 AM, but I beleive they also protect WSB in Atlanta and do not propogate that well to the East. The only other Oregon station is KPNW 1120, but they would also most likely be protecting KMOX.

Your best bets may be KFI (which I have received in the midwest) or KNBR in SF.

Hope that helps

Can anyone offer advice regarding which stations in WA and OR might be the easiest to receive here?

None will be easy. All the stations out there are protecting powerful Eastern stations at night, so they all have deep nulls in your direction. You're going to have to have a large directional antenna and a quiet location - not to mention patience and good luck.

The *only* station I've heard from those states in over 20 years of DXing (including 200' antennas) is KGA-1510 Spokane. I think their directional pattern was out of whack for a few weeks about 2 years ago, and they managed to sneak in under WLAC.

Adjoining areas of Canada are a lot easier to log. CHRB 1140 just south of Calgary is a very common catch back east. CFAC 960 *in* Calgary can blast in some evenings. News 1130 (CKWX) Vancouver is heard frequently in the east, though it's usually quite weak.

How far "back east" is CHRB a very common catch? My experience both in Chicagoland and northwest Ohio is that WRVA dominates 1140 at night.
 
Yeah, WRVA and KCLE in Cleburne, TX are generally what come in at night here in South-Central Michigan (KCLE can be heard faintly when WRVA fades out). I can't say I've ever heard CHRB here.

When I lived in southeast Iowa, CHRB was a semi regular catch on an am stereo walkman I had. It had a medium strength signal when it could be heard.
