Used to listen to stations afr just toi be able to do it. Like WSM,WWL, WBAP, AND WRVA along with WABC WBZ and A couple others one was in Baltimore MD just thought it was fun finding and listening to some of them. Also could use the lightening strikes for a weather report. IF you had lightening strikes at WBAP and not at WSM or WWL then the storm was out past those places and between Dallas and LA, IF it was clear north of WSM and not over by IA or Chicago then you knew it was coming from down MO way. IF it was in Chicago then it was about a day away if on WSM then it was about 2 days away or might even go south of us. AM picks up a lot of things like that so it was another form of weather besides the weather guessers. OF course there were always the local stations to listen to in Lansing Saginaw and At the time Detroit with Gene Autry owning a station there. I used to listen to a San Antionio TX station Something like 670 or 790 AM online after finding it in the truck going down to Laredo or some place close to there a few times. There were also stations out in Cheyenne WY and MT as well as ID. To ger WSM at night I had to wait for a Canadian Station CFCO or something like that to go off as it would over power WSM since we were closer to the Canadian station and both were real close in Frequency. Like 650and 670 or something like that been 40 years since all this was around. I remember listening to a winter storm that came through from IA or NE back in the 80's we got hit with it also but not as bad as they did. IF they had listed the things that were open the list would have been shorter at the time. they even closed MSU for a few days at that time. We got about 18 inches of snow which is a lot for us in one shot. This is in Mid MI. Milk truck missed the pickup for a day due to it. He had his daughter driving while he shoveled to get through some of it. He said he had not been to bed in a couple days from it.
