I am lucky enough to have a little town about 25 miles away that plays everything from the 40s-70's plus I live 10 miles past nowhere so my night reception is pretty clear and I can listen to 740am out of Toronto.

I grew up listening to WMAQ Chicago on an old RCA console. Guess it's where I got the bug to have these old radios. I just never worked on them until recently.
