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

Well, almost 55 miles: KDAC 1230 Fort Bragg, CA. at 60 miles. I've lived here almost 11 years and through all hours of the day, all seasons and a variety of receivers and antennas, I haven't even been teased. Granted, its a unique combination of distance and terrain, but you would think the law of averages would at least toss me a crumb.
