750 - WSB - never
760 - WJR - never
770 - WABC - never

XEEP - never
1070 - KNX - SS±24 ;) Following are links to my reception with the PL-380 early afternoon on 7-20-2012: barefoot and with SAT.

710-you don't get KIRO down there? I'm surprised...
730-once I heard an SS station, but it was KSVN-UT at sunset, and not the "big ticket" XEX.
1010-ditto with 710! CBR is here every night except in deep aurora, when the channel turns into static. Have yet to get KIQI-CA, or the one in Delano.
1080-Only have heard KRLD Dallas ONCE, and a lucky incomplete TOH ID "...Fort Worth (bong)" into CBS news.
1100-ditto 710/1010. KNZZ is usually heard here, 1000+ mi N of you, under KFAX San Francisco.

710 - KSPN usually dominates the channel (is audible pretty much 24/7/365/11), and when it does fade I get Spanish underneath. (I suspect I probably get mexican stations on every single 10 kHz frequency most nights from here, provided I can null strong locals on some frequencies.)
1010 - Delano is frequently in, also suspect Ensenada (faintly audible midday on a good radio), haven't ID'd much else but something in the back of my mind is telling me Vegas & AZ may be possibilities
1100 - Vegas and Phoenix are also somewhat regular here, as well as Frisco.
