You might also try for WJR-760, if you can hear WBBM fending off KTTH.  
I had WJR booming in about an hour ago, atop KFMB and the Canadian.  I 
can't remember the last time I heard them, but that's mostly due to lack 
of trying (they might be in every night for all I know).

WHO-1040 would be another good target (with Vancouver nulled), as would 
KFAB-1110 (with KBND nulled).  I heard both last night.  Or CBW-990 with 
KOMO nulled. 

Granted, all these logs were on an Icom R-75 with a K9AY antenna, but 
such stations seem well within your SRF-59's capabilities.
