I'm in Columbus OH. After two months of listening solely to 680 AM while driving to work (6:40A - 7:10A) I finally verified reception of KNBR San Francisco. Interference was most prominent from WPTF Raleigh but KFEQ St. Jo MO joined in, also. Plus a very, very weak oldies station (Sarnia ON?). The car radio? A 2000 Buick Regal!
 
Have you ever gotten WRKO-AM 680 from Boston at all? I live in central Connecticut. I get almost no signal of them here during the day and the night signal is only once in a rare while. (They're not a clear channel like WBZ-AM 1030 is.)<P ID="signature">______________

I've never heard it at all.

I've gotten WRKO during the day several times while in the Bristol-Southington, CT area - which is near you. It's weaker than the NY signals, yet only a little weaker than WBZ (during the day). Really not a hard catch in that area on a car radio. In a building would be a different story, though.

And yes, a weak signal can be heard at night from 'RKO in Albany/Saratoga Spgs, NY on a Walkman. That's surprising, as it should be in the signal null. Yet, there it is...dependably. Have captured it on different occasions, winter and summer.

I wonder about WNZK Dearborn Heights Michigan. That station broadcasts on 690 during the day, and 680 at night. A rare case where a station changes frequencies. When they operate on 690, they have a severe null to the south, while on 680, the null pushes more to the south. Both frequencies operate on 2.5kw.
