Scott,

WPDC is quite strong here on 1600 in Harrisburg Pennsylvania 
at perhaps eighteen to twenty miles.  They never had good 
audio though but I don't think it's caused by the antenna.

I can hear WJUN at maybe thirty miles on 1220 but it is 
somewhat weak.  Also, there is a local on 1230 that 
interferes with WJUN.
