There are a couple of very interesting ones there! For what it's worth, you had a couple of signals that were big Top 40 stations in the 1960s and 1970s: 690 was WAPE ("the Big Ape") and 1390 was WEAM - serving Washington (and rivaling daytime-only WPGC) as a rimshot from Arlington.

Neither was known for its skywave footprint, which is why I am impressed.
