Where in North America Can You Hear The Most 50 kw AM Stations at Once?

You mention Lubbock not being great for skywave ... that's how I felt about Houston when I lived there (and even when I visited before that). Sure, I could get different stations than here in the Midwest. But I always got the feeling I was just a bit too far south to hear stations much of the rest of the country takes for granted. There was just too much distance involved, and on top of that, it is in prime location for Spanish-language stations from the south to dominate many frequencies.
I mentioned in another thread that 15 50K stations are receivable in Columbus daytime, and that is not counting Chicago stations that might get here and whose groundwave is extremely weak if it does travel this far.
At night around here, the usual receivable 50Ks are WSM, WFAN, WSCR, WLW (semi-local, solid signal 24/7), WOR, WGN, CFZM, WSB, WJR, WABC, WBBM, WGY, WCCO, WHAS, CJBC, WWL, WCBS, WLS, WMVP, KDKA, WBZ, WHO, KYW, WTAM, KMOX, WRVA, WHAM, WPHT, WLAC, WCKY and KXEL. Some others might pop in from time to time, but all of them can be heard basically any given night.
WBAP can be heard to the southwest of Columbus, but not in town because of our local WVSG on 820. WTIC and WOAI used to be dependable catches years ago.
 
I didn't include Canadian 50 kW stations in my previous list. Also included are 10 kW Class A stations.
