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 : )
