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

[<martinfoltz@xxxxxxx>]

Dennis,

My closest unheard is only 29.2 miles away. I have only 13 stations in Southern California that I haven't heard. There are also 3 that I haven't heard since I lived in Newport Beach, about 15 miles from here. This covers the 10 counties in the south up to Kern. 118 active stations according to my list.

1220 KWKU Pomona 29.2 miles (heard in Newport Beach)
1320 KSDT Hemet 39.7 miles
1590 KRSX Victorville 67.8 miles (heard in Newport Beach)
1400 KESQ Indio 81.7 miles
910 KOXR Oxnard 96.0 miles

The remainder are all between 100 and 200 miles away.
