Yes David, those were the halcyon days.  From NW Iowa 1950-1953 I heard 106 from California & verified 90 of them.  Oregon & Washington were fairly common as well.  One of my best catches was
CHUB-1570 Nanaimo BC with 250 watts, heard while XERF was blasting away with 250 kw & the only antenna I had was built into the Zenith I was using.  But then the commercial radios were super in
those days.
