AM Frequency of the Week - 760 kHz

For all of the years that I have listened here in southwestern Ohio, 760-AM has been WJR out of Detroit always in the day and most of the time at night. I particularly enjoyed their station I.D.'s in the 1960's, a deep-voiced announcer saying:

"WJR...The Goodwill Station....Detroit".

and

"This is the Great Voice of the Great Lakes......WJR...Detroit".
 
Colchester, CT:
Day: WVNE/Leicester/Worcester, MA - decent signal that can be heard right next to 770 WABC/NYC down to much of the CT shore - religious
Night: WJR/Detroit - solid signal most nights
 
Here in Columbus, Ohio, a decent signal from WJR days and a pretty good signal (at least where I am on the Far East Side) at night. I don't know exactly where their ring of cancellation falls, but it can't be far north of us. By the time you get to Toledo, it's a crystal-clear, great-sounding local 24/7. In some parts of that market at night, it's hands-down the best AM signal.
Even in St. Marys, Ohio, just southwest of Lima and maybe 110 miles line of sight from WJR's tower, it sounds terrific at night. Don't remember much fading there.
 
For me here in SW Florida, it is essentially an unusable frequency, day and night, due to a closeby, powerful adjacent station, WJBX on 770 KHz. It runs 10 KW daytime and 630 Watts nightime and due to it this station's close proximity, renders the adjacents unusable and even the second adjacents noisy.
 
I used to hear CKQR "QR-760" Castlegar, BC nights on 760 in the late '80s. Ran an AC format that later switched to rock. They moved to FM in the mid '90s. 20,000 night watts beamed straight at Puget Sound. When CKQR moved, I was stunned one winter sunrise to hear the TOH for WJR in Lynnwood, WA (I was expecting KFMB.)

KFMB isn't a very big signal up here. I'm surprised at that.
