Good catch!  In downtown Salem, I usually only get WINS during the daytime, 
though with the shorter days I can usually receive CHTN if the Sun is quiet 
enough.  I have yet to get Newfoundland.

If it weren't so bitterly cold lately, I'd walk to the bridge to hear for 
myself.  At home, I'm surrounded completely by concrete, so I couldn't say 
if a wet ground matters. :(

I miss CHSJ, too.

Take care,

Dave
