Sometimes I pick up Cuba on AM. I like to listen to George Noory and Art Bell when I can't sleep at night and in between jobs, I'm into the paranormal a bit. However, when the Pittsburgh Pirates play at night, Michael Savage (I'm a loyal Savage listener but I want to hear Noory at that time plus I do like to chill out) sometimes pre-empts Noory on our FM talker here so I go to AM. The closest affiliate I can get is Youngstown, but sometimes "Radio Reloj" in Cuba "walks over" WKBN-AM (570 kc) so I have to try for 800 in Sarnia, ON, 1100 WTAM, Cleveland or 1140 out of Richmond, VA. Actually 1460 in Ambridge, PA, across the river from me, has Noory/Bell too, but they put out like 33 watts at night (at that time I think) so it is tough. When I was in hospital for 5 days in 2003 with an infected left hand from a cut (I was in danger of losing all or part of my hand), I listened to that station since the hospital was right under the tower and it came in like really strong.
