Northwest of Chicago on my radios at night

610: Kansas City usually owns this channel
620: WTMJ (local)....occasionally CKCK underneath
630: KJSL Sometimes WLAP or CFCO underneath
640: Mostly slop...sometimes with WMFN on top (WMFN audibile here daytimes). Cuba, KFI, WWLS, and WHLO....all rarely
650: WSM....usually strong
660: WFAN sometimes under WSCR hash
670: WSCR (local). Once heard YVLL (Radio Rumbos) when local was off for maintenance.
680; Usually hash from WSCR, but WCTT pops in once in a while....KFEQ, CJOB, KNBR CFTR even more rarely.
690: Usually Montreal, but rarely KGGF or WIST
700: WLW...usually strong
710: WOR....usually weak under WGN splatter
720: Badly played postseason baseball game broadcasts involving local team.
730: Either XEW or CKAC under WGN splatter
740: CHWO (or whatever it is now). sometimes KRMG underneath
750: Welcome South Brother...usually strong
760: WJR...usually strong, but weaker than adjacent WSB
770: WABC is one of the strongest New Yorkers with WBBM nulled
780: WBBM (local)
790: CIGM used to normally be on top of the mess here....but I think they may have moved to FM
800: CKLW and XEROK usually one or the other on top...but barely.
 
"Badly played postseason baseball broadcasts involving local team"
:D

From Northeast MO:

610 KCSP (ONLY K.C. I get after dark)
620 WTMJ (weak)
630 Garble at night, the former KXOK St.Louis in daylight
640 WOI days, mess nights
650 WSM blowtorch
660 If WSM fades (which is rare), WFAN
670 WMA....woops WSCR
680 KFEQ days, weak garble/hash nights. KNBR once or twice
690 Hash
700 WLW jet engine
710 Hash. I've never once heard WOR. Present home of the once mighty KCMO :mad:
720 There's always next year ;D
730 Garble
740 CHWO (They've got company tonight, which is rare)
750 Hot-lanta
760 WJR (stronger here than WSB)
770 WABC tries its best
780 WBBM (reliable day & night)
790 Garble
800 Garbled Spanish

That's about all my rinky-dink equipment will do
 
From Charleston, SC (just outside of it, on James Island)

610: Not much, but a mix of Spanish, Miami (maybe), and probably two or three other stations
620: Mix of Spanish, WDAE (especially during twilight hours), and WRJZ
630: WBMQ fair from Savannah, but much weaker since they dropped some of their night power
640: Spanish usually, sometimes WGST, maybe WFNC
650: WSM, strong signal usually (even that sometimes mixes with Spanish)
660: WFAN, at varying strengths (during twilight, usually WLFJ)
670: Almost always Cuba/Miami (WSCR only comes in if you turn the antenna, fade the Cubans out)
680: WPTF (one of my strongest clear channels)
690: WOKV most of the time, much weaker than during the day (when it blasts in, all the way to Myrtle Beach and Wilmington), WSPZ often comes in during twilight hours ::)
700: WLW usually, but even that gets interference here by Spanish stations.
710: A mix, usually a fair WOR, but Spanish mostly
720: WGN most nights, but also mixes with Spanish stations
730: Strangely, after my local 730 went off the air, I can get the little 1000 watt sports station out of Memphis, KQPN, weakly, but it comes in, because there is nothing else strong of note in the entire SE ;D.
740: CHWO most of the time, dependable, even during summer
750: WSB, of course, usually strong, comes in during day in the winter
760: WJR, a pretty good signal, actually, even with the distance involved, very little interference from others
770: WABC most of the time, WLWL comes in during twilight.
780: WBBM fair/strong almost every night (small amount of Spanish interference)
790: A mix of signals, but usually WNIS, with a rare WQXI, and sometimes WVCD
800: CKLW/Spanish, mixed together many nights, not as strong as WJR
