AM Radio Question

Mike said:
I have a question and it may have already have been asked in another way...

Does receiving far-away AM signals at night count as a DX reception? (I ask this as I recently recorded to one side of a tape various far-away AM signals from as far away as Boston or New York.)

Sure it does!! 8)

Perhaps many of those stations from New York and Boston (WBZ, I'd guess) are heard most nights at your location - but they still require the right atmospheric conditions to bounce into your neighborhood. We often talk about the "cool" catches here, but it can be challenging to get the normally easy ones under certain conditions.

Once you familiarize yourself with the nighttime am dial, it will be easier to discern those harder-to-find catches.
