I was on the west side of Carbondale, Illinois sitting in the car spinning the dial while waiting for my roomie to grab something from work.
I hit the AM dial, and after passing local WJPF 1340, the dial stopped on 1370kHz and I heard what sounded like standards music. The signal wasn't great, but it was listenable and steady. I was tuned in at 9:59am central, and heard a Standards tune playing.. but couldn't ID the song. As the song faded out, i heard "The Voice of The Tri States, AM 1370 KDTH Dubuque" very clearly into a network newscast! NEW LOG! At a distance of 338 air miles with 5000 Watts Non Directional during the middle of the day, I'd rate this as a good catch! I also heard WYLL 1160 Chicago, IL at the same location, about the same distance..several mentions of Chicago and promos for upcoming programs. Not a terribly distant catch and some of the other 50KW Chicago stations, WBBM, WGN, etc are regular visitors.. but I was slightly, pleasantly surprised since there's a 5KW on 1150 (That i work for!!) 20 miles to the east of where I heard WYLL!
