5 more AM stations to add to the DX log

That makes 140 different AM stations logged since early December 2008. The latest 5 entries.

690 - WOKV Jacksonville, FL - listened to in car while driving daughter to school today. Positive ID with weather, traffic, and tons of commercials.

600 - WBWL Jacksonville, FL - Radio Disney 600, caught station ID at the bottom of the hour right after logging 690, surprised that Disney puts this much effort into playing music on AM radio.

980 - WTEM Washington, DC - Washington Wizards basketball game. I remember when I was a kid, this was WRC radio.

800 - WJAT Swainsboro, GA - got a positive ID on this one but it was weak as they only are supposed to be putting out 500 watts. This is only 104 miles from my house as the crow flies. I could not find a website for this small station.

1390 - WXTC Charleston, SC - promoting itself as "Classic Gold 1390". I couldn't identify this one last night but with the help of some local commercials, it became much easier. They must have just switched formats because a google search shows nothing for this station and searching by call letters shows a site under construction. Finally gave out call letters at the top of the hour. Puts out 5000 watts a night so probably is Charleston's most powerful night station. About 115 miles as the crow flies from my house.
