I get very good AM reception with my Sangean LB-100 in Torrance, but Gary, who lives in Simi Valley, is getting very poor AM reception. We live about 35-40 miles apart. Gary writes:
I realize now that the difference in our assessments of the LB-100 is probably just that most LA stations are much stronger in Torrance than they are in Simi Valley.
Here's a comparison of the field strength of some of the stations I listen to (columns are Call Sign, Frequency, Torrance Field Strength, Simi Valley Field Strength)
KNX 1070: 585, 10
KFI 640: 75, 13
KRLA 870: 37, 19
KSPN 710: 37, 33
KABC 790: 26, 7
KLAC 570: 18, 6
KFWB 980: 16, 2
In every case except KSPN, the field strength in Torrance is much higher than in Simi Valley. KNX is almost 60 times as high (you must live almost on top of the KNX transmitter).
