Last night at 9:13 p.m. I heard 1010 WJXL in Jacksonville Beach, FL, for the first first time ever. The radio was aimed E/W, and I kept hearing brief bits of sports talk mixing in with KLAT in Houston, which dominates in that direction. Eventually I heard references to the VSiN website/podcasts, sports betting, and Tim Murray, and WJXL appears to be the only station on 1010 which carries VSiN shows.
I was surprised at the reception since WJXL sends it signal east into the Atlantic Ocean.

@jim-satx 1010 WJXL is the nightly regular here in DFW when aiming E/W. I too was initially surprised at its strength, given its directional pattern mainly east. Aiming N/S, I hear KBBW out of Waco.
11-23, 24, 2023.
KAAY 1090 Little Rockmust be operation full power at night. Loud and clear in central Indiana. Chance to log a once great set of call letters.
From 11 20 2023,
KCCV 760 Overland Park, clear under WJR . Another station operating with day power and pattern at night.

Not just that: there's a mild lobe and thus some gain to the ENE. The night pattern is entirely to the WNW.
I consider Michael's report to be conclusive that the station is "forgetting" to switch to night power and pattern.
I happened to be up briefly at 4:45 this morning and took a quick listen to KMXA. Still the tone.
Obviously it stops at some point (5 am? 6 am? I don't get up that early) because it's running the usual TUDN during the day and in the evening.
If it helps: KLVZ's slogan is "Legends 95.3". Every so often the AM is also mentioned.
KCCV is a class D station with the same pattern day and night. This is somewhat surprising: Bott's programming is simply awful but it's a longtime broadcaster and the chain generally seems to run compliant operations.

The story has been told several times, but I don't believe recently, about how KAAY in its glory era was almost a local at night in the Minn/St.Paul area, right next to the actual local 1130 WDGY in *its* Top40 prime.
The transistor battle must've been like the ones in, say, metro Albany NY between its WPTR 1540 and WKBW 1520. Or in other markets where 'KB boomed in.
The other lobe of KAAY came in very well across the Gulf to Florida. I remember one eve when some unmanned laundromat in Clearwater was playing them, over 700 miles away, over the house speakers.
Perpendicular to that huge bowtie signal was certainly another story. I only heard KAAY once back in Queens. Co-linear WBAL 1090 wasn't on, and KAAY was really feeble but IDable.

Looking at information on KLVZ's facilities, I think it would be a tough haul to Hawaii. I'm wonder if you (@gar hi ) heard was KSWV Santa Fe, NM, possibly on daytime facilities of 5 kW ND rather than the 10 watts nighttime. KSWV airs "classic hits" at night.
Three guesses and the first two don't count.
Yep, the 1090 tone came back at 11 pm, this time mixed in with a bit of hum. I guess variety is the spice of life.
Confirmed. Coming in loud and clear in the east SFBA, with a few other stations underneath (one of which sounds like it's carrying sports?) and some splatter from KFAX 1100.
I must say that nothing cuts though the noise better than a loud, constant tone! Especially at 50,000 watts!!

You're hearing XEPRS-AM under the noise
Heard a station from Mexico the other night on 1510 but I don't know which one. It was playing a mix of English and Spanish songs - Amarga Navidad by Jose Alfredo Jimenez, La Traicionera by Llajtaymanta, then Don't Be On The Outside by Linda Carone and Christmas In Our Hearts by Jose Mari Chan, followed by El Viejo del Sombreron by Alberto Barros. Anyone have any idea which station it could be? It wasn't XEYL, since I listened to their stream and it didn't match.
KMXA 1090 is still on Day Power at 8:45pm here in Valejo
Aaand the KMXA Tone goes on....
Confirmed as of approximately 2:15 AM Pacific with a strong XEPRS-AM on top (thanks to @MarioMania for telling me, I now know that not all Mexican stations broadcast in Spanish; hearing English threw me off, and I had assumed it was something else).

How far does KFBK 1530 Sacramento go east before WCKY takes over at Night?
No real answer. Both protect each other, so reception may vary in the zones midway between them... on station tonight, another tomorrow.
So true about the dominance of one station over another. Here’s an example: 1500. I’m in suburban Chicago. On a given night, either KSTP in the Twin Cities or WFED )ex-WTOP) Washington will be stronger. KSTP probably has the edge 60 percent of the time. It was interesting when each station carried the local NHL team and they played each other. The play-by-play shifted from one guy to the other.
