1700 is actually KKLF. It is a simulcast of KLIF to fill in areas N of Dallas where 570 is weak.

Now I'm not THAT bad... but I do enjoy sliding around the band and listening for the ID's..

Ya know what's cool, wait till they give a call-in request line number & call & tell them where you're listening from.....

While y'all are talking about AM skip, anyone know what spanish-language station is booming in to NE US on 1120 when KMOX is nulled out?? Its a lively salsa/tropical music station that comes in real nice until they make any voice announcements between songs and then , as is my luck, it always fades out until the next song begins!! It doesn't sound like the typical Cubans(Rebelde/Progreso/Reloj) and I know its not Mexico just who is it? Maybe its a domestic ESP station. Anybody know??

Yeah, a friend & I (before we were hams) just put a longwire on the HF receiver & tuned the AM broadcast band....Tuned into WLS outa Chicago & called them when they gave a call-in number...They put us on the air!!!!....lol

AM DXing has gotten much more frustrating than it used to be. When I worked at the local AM station you hammered out the call letters regularly and we ran live local origination programming 24/7. Lots of opportunities from DJ chatter, commercial spots and PSA's to pick up some tid bit to identify us if your were listening from half a continent away. Now, especially at night, so many stations are picking up feeds of nationally sydicated programs that its virtually impossible to get many clues of the station ID. You pretty much have to be tuned in on the hour to catch the official station ID. That really restricts your ability to ID very many stations in a given DX session.
