I remember living in the sticks in western NY and listening to AM late
at night. Never having been much of anywhere yet (Rochester, NY was an
adventure to us!) we'd get skip from WWVA in Wheeling, WV. To us it
was like listening to radio from another planet!

Reminds me. Stopped somewhere in Tennessee and the AM band scan only
caught one channel, a preacher singing the bible in a weird chant that
had me smelling sulphur and seeing rattlesnakes.
The radio would go all round the band and only stop there.
I made real sure to double lock the motel door and turned on the cable
TV. Might have put a chair under the door handle too.
For some reason in the '60's WLS Chicago would come in good most
nights in Norfolk VA. Had to dial in 890 just right.
The New Yawkers especially appreciated that rock n roll channel when
I clued them in. It was 50k watts.
