I logged a new one for the first time ever last week.

WELD-AM 690, Classic Oldies from Fisher, WV. 165 miles away.
Caught them in the afternoon in the parking lot at work, and also at a
couple of points along my street. Website says they are at 3000W daytime.

Did you pick up those Chicago stations during the day?

I can't speak for the the earlier poster, but those Chicago stations are pretty easy....if weak... daytime catches on a good radio away from interference sources in the St. Louis area. I stand to be corrected by the natives, but I think it would be safe to say St. Peters is far western suburban St. Louis.

OK I was curious because years ago I heard them pretty well in the St Louis area, but as we all know the noise has gotten much greater.

Of the three, WLS is the easiest to get. WGN and WBBM have a great deal of static.

I would imagine WBBM would be hard because of your local 770. Can you hear WSCR during the day?

 

[Signal]

Yes, WSCR comes in albeit fuzzy.
