? I listen to WGN 720 frequently, as well as WBBM and occasionally WLS.? When I lived in Elgin, Ill. 79-81, I would pull in KYW 1060 to pull in Harry Kalas and my Fightin' Phils; it would drive my buddies nuts!!? KYW would come in clear as a bell after 8,9 PM.

? GO CATS!!?????????? ELK

I was in Atlanta last year for a convetion the day the tragic shooting happened at Northern Illinois. Tuned my Hertz car rental radio into 720 and WGN came in clear as a local station!?
?
Also became hooked on this one that I listen to now quite often online. Thank goodness of AM distant signals, never would have known about this gem...?
