Johnny,
Here's an OLD post (January 29, 1992!) from a Google group about hearing 50 states on AM/MW. Note that many of these stations have since changed call-signs, but I believe most of them are still around as of March, 2022:
For those interested in dx on the AM broadcast band, here are my picks for logging all 50 states. In most cases, these are the most powerful stations in each state, or they are on frequencies with the least number of competing stations. In a few cases, e.g. South Carolina, the best bet is not powerful or clear channel. Rather, it has the best night-time antenna pattern. For New Hampshire, WFEA-1370 is the only station from that state that can be heard in the midwest. I don't know why. Basically, listed stations that are not 50 kw or clear channels are based on my dx experience all over the country. For whatever reason, these are the stations that get out best. I have tried to list more than one station, in case someone has a local station on the frequency of the best catch. In many cases, I have notes about Hawaii or the east coast, just to verify that the given station really gets out. Sorry if some call letters are old; I did this list from memory. Hope this helps. (If anyone has easier stations to log, please let me know.) -------------------- Alabama: WERC-960, WHHY-1170 Alaska: KYAK-650, KFQD-750, KBBI-890 (KBBI is the only one that can be heard in Southern Cal) Arizona: KTNN-660, KNIX-1580 Arkansas: KAAY-1090 California: KFI-640, KNX-1070, KFBK-1530 (All these I have heard from the east coast and from Hawaii.)

Well done.
I have been a bit slow with starting my DXing for 2022, my work on MWDXerDB has taken up most of my spare time. Hi Paul,
Was cruising along quite quickly at first... 24 States!
But now it has gotten more difficult as the states are further and further away....
