AM Frequency of the Week - 1120 kHz

B

Buckeyes2001

What do you all get on 1120 AM?

Here in Vermilion, OH it is blank during the daytime. Near sunset I often hear WKQW/Oil City, PA and then later KMOX/St. Louis although I have heard WKQW underneath them and past their bedtime.
 
Monroe WA

Days - nothing

Nights - usually KPNW Eugene, OR with news/talk. Sometimes KANN Roy, UT is underneath with their SOS Christian Contemporary music programming. I've also heard KZSJ San Jose, CA mainly on aurora nights, and yes, KMOX, a couple of times, the first time with a STL hockey game u/ KPNW in 2009.

From Houston: This is one of the few frequencies that I have only one station logged and that's KMOX-St. Louis, and only at night.
 
Here in Columbus, Ohio, nothing by day and all KMOX at night.
How is the reception in Springfield? Are you in the cancellation zone? I remember driving to Chicago for Cubs Opening Day in 2011 and listening to an extremely weak KMOX on I-65 around Lafayette, Ind. for the beginning of that afternoon's Cardinals game.
 
Far northwest suburbs of Chicago

Day: Nothing except moderate WISN splatter

Night: All KMOX. One of the stronger skywave signals.

Worth noting that, at least for most radios, my location is just a little out of range of KMOX's daytime signal. Yet 5,000-watt KTRS (550) does make it here from a stick very near KMOX's. Very weak, but still strong enough to cut through the splatter on WIND. WIND and WISN are roughly equal in terms of basic daytime signal strength at my location. But WISN runs IBOC, which obviously doesn't help matters for KMOX. At night, WISN's very severe pattern makes then a non-issue.
 
NE PA (between Hazleton and Pottsville) :

Days :
Faint but steady WUST, from the D.C. area.

Nights:
One of the few 'K' calls on the log (KYW doesn't count ; they cheated and put one in Pennsylvania).
KMOX St. Louis.

*Did* hear that WPRX one night, though, in 1995. They're near Hartford CT. That nighttime pattern to the west certainly eliminates normal reception toward us. Maybe they'd left it on their omni daytime setup. It was pretty dark, though, around midnight.

Near north Chicago burbs I can also hear KTRS during the day, but no KMOX. The only time I couldn't get KTRS daytime was when WIND used IBOC briefly years ago. That low end of the band really makes a difference in the groundwave.
