I would think it can be tough hearing AM 740 in Chicago, with your local 50kW WGN 720 just 20 kHz down the dial and, at night, 50kW WSB news radio 750 in Atlanta coming in like gangbusters as well. I live near Cleveland and can hear Zoomer 740 fairly well most of the time, but 750 sometimes gets in the way after dark if I'm listening on one of my less-selective radios, though most of them get 740 well enough to listen to. I guess since I'm only a mile (more or less) from the south shore of Lake Erie, I can hear many 50kW Canadian stations, such as CKLW 800 in Windsor, CFRB 1010 in Toronto, Zoomer 740, etc. fairly well, with 800 and 740 booming in here 24/7.
I've heard 740's All-Night Jukebox. A wonderful place to hear old rock and roll with few if any interruptions.
BTW, as I mentioned in one of my previous posts, it is possible to hear AM 740 anywhere in the US at
http://www.am740.ca, so even if you can't get 740 over the air before dark, you can hear it there anytime.
