Richard;

Scanning the AM band the other night (Tuesday) I found the buzz on WGN and
WLW was wiping both sides of those channels

Also KMOX is wiping out 1110 and 1130, at least Tuesday evening

Last Saturday night about 9:30, the Canadian station on 740 was rolling in
loud and clear

And Wednesday the 3rd about 6AM, KOA was loud and clear from Greenfield, IL
to south of St. Louis
