I find that phase-nulling WLW and using USB works pretty well on 690.  My big 
problem there is that my three 50 kW locals gang up to produce an intermod 
product on 690, covering up the weak signals.  Broadband antennas are nice, 
but they do have that drawback - I guess I need a preselector of some sort 
ahead of the receiver.  Despite that problem, I've managed a few new 
loggings, KTSM, KFXN and WADS, and have heard CBU (relog) a number of times.  
No sign of other western stations such as KGGF and KOAQ so far (both would be 
relogs), or of CBKF-1 and KSTL, which are needed.  Cuba and Colombia usually 
dominate here at night.

On 940, I've heard 14 different stations (including WMAC) since the demise of 
CINW, but only one, KVSH, was a new logging.  It's usually a mixture of pesty 
cheater WGRP and XEQ here at night.  Still looking for WECO, WCSW, and 
several others.
