How far can KYET get on 1 watt at night?

As i said above, i heard it in SE WY one night years ago and verified it was on one watt

How far can KYET get on 1 watt at night?

As I said in a previous post:

KLEY 1130 in Wellington Kansas.
and
KYET 1170 in Golden Valley (Kingman), Arizona.

Both have a nighttine power of 1 watt !! 😱😮🌌
I've heard both locally at night,
and both have about 5 miles of night time coverage range before the noise floor takes over.

Thankfully, Both stations broadcast on these
FM Translators as well ...
KLEY is on FM 104.1 (K281DI)
KYET is on FM 92.3 (K222CZ)

Normal Night Time Coverage Range of 1170 KYET was reliable about 5 miles away (and up to 10 miles away, weak DX). Groundwave signal that is.

(Coverage to the West almost Halfway to Bullhead City, or Reaches East, the Western Half of Kingman AZ).

As far as DX skywave, at least Not in Las Vegas 100 Miles away (some bleedover from KSL on 1160).

KLEY 1130 is another Example of 1 watt nighttime, also 5 miles average nighttime coverage, and 250 watts daytime easily reaches into and beyond Wichita 30-40 miles away.

Your reception may differ from others...

What type of radio/receiver are you using? Is it highly sensitive like a C.Crane radio with a specialized attached antenna, a vehicle radio, a clock radio on your nightstand?

Let's be honest...a DX'ers listening experience is different from the average listener.

The problem with all of these DX claims is that no one explains what equipment is used to catch these signals.

My top 3 are the TEF86 Desktop SDR, Sangean HDR-19 (and it's non HD Version model PR-D5) and a Grundig Eton S350DL .. all of which are similarly great for DXing on AM and FM, sensitive to weak signals and used all for E-Skip and Tropo, but my favorite is the TEF86 (TEF6686) with RDS and Shows FM Station PI Code data and signal strength RSSI.

I Also have an Outdoor Ground Plane (GP) Antenna that is Roof-Mounted and connected to a Signal Amplifier for even better FM DX reception potential.

That is a pretty big piece of the world... ZNS dos get to the north coast of Hispaniola pretty well, but it does not cover central and western Cuba nor does it hit Puerto Rico. The rest of the Caribbean is not well covered at all.

I would have thought ZNS, being the only Bahamian clear channel, would be an absolute powerhouse in every direction.
