 The dedicated AM band DX'ers used to stay up almost all night to catch
 such things. At times the band really opened up Particualrly after most
 of the local stations went off the air.
Of course th "Good Old Days" when one could hear WLW in the
Midle of the night all over the north Amercian Continent is gone.
there were also so called Clear Channels that would come in but i nthe
30's WLW beat them all having the highest Output power ever allowed for
an AM station, 500,000 Watts. The rest of the stations were limited to
50,000 Maximum. With most being 5,000 or even less in some situations.
