[net.followup] KDKA

I can pick up both KDKA 1020 (Pittsburgh) and WBZ 1030 (Boston) on
a decent night from a normal AM radio in Toronto (subject to occasional
drowning out by Toronto stations at 1010 and 1050). I remember one night
several years ago, listening to a hockey game between the Penguins and
the Bruins, and being able to hear both announcers on the same radio at
the same time.

I can receive KDKA quite well.  All I need to receive it is
a short piece of wire, a diode, and any high-impedance audio
amp.  I live about a mile from the (50KW ERP) transmitter!  :-)

Years ago in Berkeley, Calif. during a low in the sunspot cycle, I heard
KDKA in Pittsburg for a few minutes, then KOA (in Denver?) clobbered it.
