AM frequencies I have not been able to DX

Out of the 117 possible AM frequencies, there are 23 I have yet to receive a positive identification on. The frequencies are 540, 800, 900, 930, 1250, 1270, 1310, 1330, 1340, 1350, 1390, 1450, 1480, 1490, 1540, 1550, 1570, 1580, 1600, 1610, 1670, 1680, 1700

I probably can get 1250-1580 wiped out by driving around rural areas with my Grundig 350SL and with some patience, bag em. A lot of patience.

As I am typing this, 2 states are fighting over 930 AM, a sports station and a music station. The music station sounds really interesting, it's like the old days again on AM. This is at 2:54AM Sunday morning.

My criteria for counting a station as a successful DX is I might hear the call letters or I must hear the name of the city and other identifying marks I can google to conform the station. I then get information on them, how far it as the crow flies, how many watts they are putting out, and in what direction.

Right, I have DXed 124 AM stations during the past month. In 23 states.
The States I have DXed
Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Washington DC, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, SOuth Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Iillinois, Iowa, Oklahoma, Colorado
