My wish list for next week's daytime AM DXing adventure at the Jersey shore

Thanks for confirming that.

It helps explain a lot, why it made it up there but WQAM and WIOD were absent.

WAXY's stick is a lot more inland too but the terrain in that area is a lot more conductive than the rest of Florida.

I'm still surprised there was no WQAM when it's said to be heard in Bermuda daytime which is about the same distance.
 
This thread got me interested in 790 kHz, a good DX frequency here in the Hudson Valley, NY. Daytiime it's WAEB Allentown, PA o/ WPRV Providence, RI.. neither is strong. Saturday afternoon I took my Tecsun protable outside around 4:30-pm and heard Spanish (Mexican) music dominating... actually at first they were the only station being heard on 790. Tonight, I tried listening on the car radio... better sensitivity and sound and it's warmer!! It looks like the Spanish is WBLO Thomasville, NC, dominating again today, especially strong at 4:43 and 4:52pm... then gone shortly thereafter. I also heard a sports station 5:05 - 5:10pm, with Atlanta Falcons Network ID at end of a game, so I think this is WQXI-Atlanta. Everything else is a big jumble... just like the graveyards. No WAXY, and no Norfolk either, but I didn't realize how directonal (away from me) Norfolk was.
By the way, Saturday night around midnight, 790 was quite a jumble here, but at 11:58 I did hear "Black Magic Woman" by Santana... who could that be? Also I was hearing the distintive clock ticking of Radio Reloj from Cuba along with the top-of-the-minute tones... but very little Spanish made it through. Definitely an interesting frequency to DX.
