Last November, I posted a message asking about radios that have good long-
distance AM reception.  Several list members suggested the GE Superradio.
I finally got around to buying one about 10 days ago.  (Cost me $44.99 at
a discount store if any one else is interested.)
 
So on Saturday, I tried for about an hour to get WPTR 1540 to see if I could
listen to the RPI-Union game.  Well, I don't know if WPTR was even
broadcasting the game, but in any case I couldn't receive the station.  I
can get WGY from Schenectady, so it isn't purely a distance question, but
WGY is a clear-channel station.  (Gee, many years ago, WGY was RPI's radio
outlet.)  After an hour, I decided to watch the NHL All-Star game and the
most irritating puck that I have ever seen.  Can't even tell on which side
of a stick or a net it is.  I guess that we won't have to worry about the
NC$$ trying this stunt as not enough games are shown on TV to make it
worthwhile.
 
Anyway, back to the original topic.  I checked the teaminfo file to see if
the radio stations for each school are listed -- they aren't.  Does anyone
know if any college broadcasts its games on a powerful AM station,
preferably clear channel?
