Yes, back in the days when I had an AM-only car radio, I had trouble 
finding any station that I could listen to for very long when driving 
home after dark from a trip to Amherst.  

But back in 1966, when I took spring break in Bermuda, I heard WBZ 
loud and clear, sounding like a local, coming from a nearby car radio 
at 1 AM.
