Howdy Loose .... sounds like we're in some 60's Western .... pardner!

Power and antenna as already noted by the other guys, I believe. Not tuned around AM for a few weeks and hadn't noticed it as such a standout signal previously, so possibly down to very good conditions last night. Just about audible in the day, but not at a usable strength and of course Spring is approaching so propagation will be on the decline from here on in. It was more the audio quality that I was impressed with.
