| AM Radio Log |
| |
One of my hobbies involves
the long distance reception of AM radio
stations. This is a list of stations that I have received here in
Smithfield, NC. This area is in range for stations from Canada, and
part of the Carribean, as well as a large part of the United States.
Even on my car radio I can tune in Cuba and Canada every night. |
