Indeed. I played around with the set at about 10PM; there's a lot of AM DX coming in, especially in the higher frequencies.
I've run in to a spanish station, a station from NY, and ironically enough, one of the first I hit was an "oldies" station playing some '60s music... Felt like a time warp for a moment.
Wasn't able to find 860, but I'll try again tomorrow; I have 2x 50' pieces of unused CAT5 that will make for a nice antenna
I've set the dial indicator to run from the edge to edge of the dial, and some adjusting will probably be necessary; I found 1010 at ~90, but not entirely sure since some stations fade in and out.
