You'd probably need an outside antenna of some kind. This station
doesn't stream on the web?
It is hard to believe that there are no alternatives - I hear the
station (faintly) when the loop is placed (and oriented properly) on
the window sill.
Is there a website dedicated to passive AM antenna design out there?
The other experiment I have not tried i connecting the ground terminal
lug of the recever to the electrical ground of the building, while
keeping the loop tied to the othe lug. Will try that next.
I see nothing NW of you at appreciable wattage on that frequency -
and I can see no stations in Colorado at 640 (though I do use a cutoff
on my list).
SE of you, I would consider Cuba strongly. Plenty of blowtorch
stations, including on that frequency, and the Spanish music would go
without saying. The same could be said of Mexico, but if I understand
you correctly, base on your post, Mexico is a "null" direction from you
when you are hearing this station.

I'm 45 miles from KFI, more or less, too. Since their tower fell down
they've been on half power through a little 150' or so stick. Why is
hearing Limbaugh and Doctor Laura so important?

Boooooooooooiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnngggggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!
That must have been the sound of that spring inside your skull breaking
loose............
The frequency of 640 Khz is occupied by more stations than you can
shake a stick it. I haven't looked in my station log, because it isn't
real importatnt to me, but I would bet there is at least one in every
state.
If you think you can get a Los Angeles station in Jackson, Ms., I have
a 34 tube Zenith Transoceanic I would like to sell to you.

I made a mistake on the 640 khz statement, that is a clear channel
frequency for stations with 50,000 watts of transmit power, here is the
list of stations on 640 KHZ.

I've heard KFI in Houston.
I wouldn't have put it quite that way, but I do agree with Les's
point - whatever station you are getting on 640, is is very, VERY
unlikely it is from Los Angeles.
Where did you get this data?
WLVJ ROYAL PALM BEAC FL 7500 460 DA-2 REL 5/98
This station is on 24 hours a day and plays big band music from "The
Villages" in Lady Lake Florida. It changed hands a couple years ago and
is no longer a religious station. It is a pain because they over
modulate and splatter the lower part of the AM broadcast band.
