Guess The Strength Of These AM Stations in Laurel MD

D

dxtrfn80

If you could receive these stations in Laurel MD with a good antenna what would the strength be?

550 WSVA
670 WLUI
830 WEEI
950 WKDN
990 WNTP
1060 KYW
1130 WBBR
1140 WRVA

My guesses

550-very weak
670-probably not at all due to 680 from Baltimore
830-doubt it
950-very tough due to local
990-if you could get it would be interferred by hash from 980
1060-see 990
1130-probably very weak and/or hash from 1120
1140-very weak
 
This seems to be daytime reception since WLUI 670 only operates during the day.
If I had to guess

550- weak-very weak
670- nothing
830- weak (strongest off the list)
950- WCTN (maybe WKDN faint underneath)
990- splatter from Local 980
1060-splatter from local 1050
1130- 190 miles over land, no signal. (Strongest off the list at Night)
1140- Very weak
 
WRVA is very weak in Gaithersburg, Maryland daytime, not all that far from Laurel. There have been nights when I've visited that I haven't heard it at all.
I am sure WBBR doesn't get that far south at all. The only New York City AM station I've ever heard in that area daytime was WFAN, and it was extremely weak. This was in July a few years ago. Might be better during the winter, but I bet even that is not good enough for WBBR to come in.
Not familiar with the other stations at all.
 
I'm supposing that DxerFn80 meant 'WEEU', from Reading PA -- 'The Voice -- Eight-thirty'.

Here they are: https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/patg?id=WEEU-AM&h=D

They are the 2nd loudest AMer in the day here, seven miles north of Pottsville. WEEU has been heard in the day on the south shore of Long Island, reported as such by a somewhat casual DXer. Fine station.

On an off-the-shoulder guess: In Laurel MD WEEU would be there, even if it took a null of whatever adjacent stations were present.
Weak but steady.
