This very short clip demonstrates late night reception from Washington, DC of two DX(long distance) MW BC radio stations. The first is WGN, Chicago (594 mi./956 km distant). The second station -- with much better reception -- WSB, Atlanta, Georgia (543 mi/874 km). The somewhat limited selectivity of the TRF receiver degraded the WGN signal with noisy, adjacent station interference. The recording was made acoustically directly from one earpiece of a 1920s C. Brandes "Superior" headphone. The resulting recording is a fairly accurate representation of this radio's performance when listening on a pair of period correct, low fidelity headphones.
