My uncle could pick up railroads in Memphis from Humboldt, TN in his pickup with magnet mount antenna and BC125. But west Tennessee doesn’t have any mountains.

Nice might give that a try some time here..In fact its hard to me to hear nashville yard at times here.Angelo

Some of the old L&N railroaders used to pick up Guthrie yard from the Trezevant, TN bottoms. That’s about 90 miles as the crow flies.

L&N knew a conductor who worked for L&N he now past away. 90 miles is good! Angelo
