Re: [IRCA] What's your closest unheard AM station?

[satya@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

I recently picked up a nearby graveyarder, and now my closest unheard is
now 1240-KXLE in Ellensburg, WA, about 103 miles away.  Like Bob, the
terrain does me in (Cascade Mountains), and I have never even had a nibble
on this one.
