There are people who string up am radio antennas and stay up late nights listening for far away radio signals. The hobby is called DX-ing. Probably sounds really stupid eh? Well back off pal! I have been known to see what's out there from time to time. These days it is amazing how many stations have the former Art Bell hosted "Coast to Coast."



So anyway I saw this post from a DX'er in Clarksdale, TN who picked up the KNBR signal. That is a 2119 mile DX score. I'll pass it on to the KNBR engineer and he'll dig it.



KNBR-AM DX post



"My equipment consisted of a Kenwood AM/FM Stereo Reciever 104AR with 2 Dipole Antenna, about 50 feet of speaker wire and a rabbit ear type antenna set up in my room. My ground was speaker wire plugged into the ground receptacle of the Kenwood."
