WJR has a ~15 mV/m groundwave field in Oregon, OH.  That is a lot, but 
WCWA, WSPD and WLRR (all Toledo AM stations) have more than that.

WJR has (by far) the greatest field there of all out-of-market AM stations, 
though, so if you are thinking that the 37 mile path to the WJR tx site 
from the Oregon City Hall is "DX," then I guess they win  : )
