Who's Uncle Charlie? And I have no problems DX'ing on the AM Band on any of my radios and I live just outside of town where I live, and All I'm using are early 1930s and and early 1940s vintage wooden tabletop radios that required a 30'+ length of wire and a good ground to receive stations!
You just need to move to Northern Indiana and you'll have great DX'ing because you're right in the middle of the country where you can pick up stations from about a 750+ mile radius from here.
I can pick up stations as far east as New York City and as far west as St. Louis and as far South as Nashville, and as far North as Toronto, Canada, all on the AM band between 7PM and 6AM, and these were just stations I was picking up on my Westinghouse WR-10 Tombstone radio.
I can't imagine what my 1942 FADA Model 176 could do with its more advanced AVC and Better IF and RF stages!
