I'm betting that was KXEL, Waterloo.

Best catch I ever had was back in the 60s. I had an aircraft receiver that covered approx. 150-400kHz and in the dead of winter with about 800' of wire strung tree to tree picked up Radio Luxembourg on 233kHz.

Of course, they were running about a megawatt or so. That might've helped
