I was using a 140 ft closed square loop, hanging in trees at 35 ft above ground, as a standard, I get power line background buzz at a S6 reading today, still hear many signals in the noise but I cut my chart off at S7 strength.
I can hear , clearly, 30 stations on the AM band here in Commerce MI , in mid-West Oakland county .
The Top 7 strongest signals with power, distance to the transmitters and S meter reading. , are;
630 CFCO 10 kW 64 miles S9+15 dB
950 WWJ 50 kW 41.5 miles S9+10
990 WDEO 9.2 kW 23.4 mi S9+15
1030 WUFL 5 kW 29.5 mi S9+10
1200 WMUZ-AM 50 kW 31.1 mi S9+20
1270 WXYT 50 kW 39.6 mi S9+10
1460 WPON 0.67 kW 3.3 mi S9+20
I clearly hear another 23 stations, the most distant is 1390 WLCM at nearly 70 miles reading S7.
Just For FUN !
If you try an AM band scan from your location, your results may vary widely, due to most AM stations using directional antennas !
Try it
