AM DX'ing from Winnipeg

For about the past 30 years (this month) on and off I have been into AM DX'ing, which is the hobby of receiving non-local AM radio stations.

The first non-Winnipeg station I used to listen to was Newsradio 78 WBBM Chicago back in late Summer of 1978.

Some of the radios I have had access to have had good sensitivity, while others are just good for local reception.

This time around, I've created an OpenOffice spreadsheet that lists the station callsign, city,

Here's the spreadsheet in PDF format.

And another version, that I've created in MySQL:

mysql> select frequency, callsign, city, state, network from radio_receivable order by frequency;
