No broadcast on Pikes Peak - you're thinking of Cheyenne Mountain, / Thanks for the correction Scott. I've lived here 26 years and I guess I've fallen into the habit. Everyone around Denver refers to Cheyenne Mountain and Pikes Peak interchangeably. I think we do that just to thumb our noses

Bill, Hank Wilkinson and DXers put up longwire antennas on a lot in metro Philly in the 20s/30s and heard 100 watt Australians on MW. The dial was a lot quietier in those days without noise, so low power TPs/DUs were fairly easy to log on the East Coast years ago. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin
