With WAMG gone, WLS comes in like it did back in the day

My experience with Chicagoland stations in Boston were

670 no chance with WRKO

720  Could almost never lock it in as it was hammered by WOR and CKAC

780 very reliable

890 solid

1000 usually the strongest - being directional to the east gave it a bump
