I've only logged two stations on 700 to date: WLW at night and the mighty
WCAT during the day. CHTN comes in once in a while at night, though WGN is
usually the stronger signal of the two on 720.

My distance record for daytime DX currently is CIWW ("W-1310"), Ottawa,
several years ago. I listened to the station day and night for an entire
summer. Haven't been able to pick them up lately, day or night, though. Did
they go away "Canadien Style" as well? For recent DX, the NYC 50kW-ers (660,
710, 770, 880, 1010, 1560) are probably tied with Montreal (800). I don't
have a map in front of me, and I don't remember which city is farther away
from Brattleboro.
