Default FM DX On the Henry Kloss Model 88 (OT) Part One

Hi all. This past Spring I put my Cambridge Soundworks Model 88 table
radio, designed by the late Henry Kloss, through its paces on the FM
broadcast band. For the duration of the test, the radio sat in one
place in a ground floor room. The only antenna used was a cheap $2
plastic dipole tacked haphazardly to the wall; it too remained in one
place throughout the test. Here are my results (bear with me, I
intend to post these in sections so as not to lose the content to the
Cookie Monster):

88.1 WUBJ Jamestown, NY Public Jazz 10 miles (Repeater of 88.7
