AM Dxing - The Grundig G6 is unreal in reception

Got the G6 hooked up with the 50 foot wire antenna running from my house, to my shed, and up a tree.... The AM reception is going nuts tonight.... and it's the external doing the work, I unplug it and receptions dies..... Here's just some of the stations I get idents on.

12/6/08 0147am-0300am Home location: Leesville, SC
539 - LYQ morse beacon - spanish station in background
700 - WLW Cincinnati OH - Truckers network (410 miles)
750 - WSB Atlanta GA - real strong, didn't interfere with 760 (157miles)
760 - WJR Detroit, MI - Truckers network (577miles)
780 - WBBM Chicago, IL - news radio (660 miles)
820 - WBAP Dallas, TX - Truckers network (907miles)
840 - WHAS Louisville, KY - talk radio (370miles)
870 - WWL New Orleans, LA - talking about God and giving Dave Ramsey (578miles)
890 - WLS Chicago, IL - (630 miles)
1000-WMVP Chicago IL - ESPN radio (649 miles)
1120- KMOX St Louis MO - my first K-station, talking about guns (578miles)
1200 - WOAI San Antonio, TX - coast to coast, news (1021 miles)
1410 - WIQR Prattville AL - playing high school football game replay (302 miles)
this station only puts out 1000 watts at night.
1430 - WBLR Batesburg-Leesville, SC - spanish music (1 mile) it's our local station
1510 - WLAC Nashville, TN - talk format (337 miles)
1530 - WCKY Cincinnati OH - Brother Stair polluting the airwave with his cult (394 miles)
1620 - WNRP Pensacola, FL - weak signal news, only 1000watts (411 miles)
1690 - WMLB Atlanta, GA - "voice of the arts", playing folk music, only 1000 watts (177 miles)

Now this is weird, I could not get 880 WCBS out of New York with the long antenna... so I pulled it out, and WCBS appears.... The wire antenna must be very directional for AM reception
