KDKA, 50,000 watts in Pittsburgh.

My father picked up that station in North Carolina when he was training for WW II. He said you could pick it up at night.

KDKA is pretty powerful. That's why they call it the Blowtorch.

My Aunt/Godmother lives in PA. She is in Entriken (half way between Altoona and Huntington). It's a beautiful country up there except for that hill that Uncle Bill took us down one night a few years ago.

My uncle in Florida sometimes listened to KDKA at night when he could pull it in. My cousins remember growing up and hearing him late at night listening to KDKA though the static and other radio noises. I did manage to pick up KDKA as far away as Austin, TX although I had to null a signal from a station in Roswell, New Mexico on the same frequency by turning the radio just right. My furthest AM catches were an AM station from Berkeley, California and one from Anguila in the West Indies. I did manage to pull a station in from Colege Station, TX, it only puts out 1000 watts at night on my 1965 8 transistor Magnavox radio.
