800 - 1000: WHAT DOES YOUR AM BAND LOOK LIKE IN THE DAYTIME?

[QCA USA 1]

East Moline, IL (Quad Cities USA):

Daytime-

800: KXIC Iowa City, IA
810: Nothing
820: WCPT Willow Springs, IL (weak)
830: Nothing; sometimes a very good antenna or receiver will pick up WCCO Minneapolis in winter and/or during SR and SS skip, not nearly as good as nighttime
840: Nothing
850: WAIT Crystal Lake, IL (weak)
860: KWPC Muscatine, IA
870: Nothing
880: Nothing
890: WLS Chicago, IL
900: Nothing
910: WSUI Iowa City, IA
920: Nothing
930: mix of WAUR Sandwich, IL and WTAD Quincy, IL (both very weak)
940: WDLM bleed
950: KOEL Oelwein, IA (very weak and underneath WDLM splatter)
960: WDLM East Moline, IL (local)
970: WDLM splatter
980: WDLM bleed
990: WCAZ Carthage, IL (weak)
1000: WMVP Chicago, IL

Note: As I also said in the "nighttime" thread of 800 - 1000 AM stations, "WDLM splatter" is simply traditional analog adjacent-channel interference, NOT IBOC Hash, as my area (Quad Cities) does not even have any HD-AM stations locally. Also, since WDLM's signal strength is stronger in the daytime (1000 watts vs. 102 nighttime watts), the stations bleeds into the secondary adjacent channels on many walkmans, boomboxes, and other household radios, as listed above. This does not happen on car radios unless right by the towers as car radios have much better selectivity and can do a much better job of Dx'ing as well.
