AM Frequency of the Week - 1290 kHz

Maybe a little O/T, but still, @ Crainbebo :

Only 447 FM stations and * 207 * AM stations? When is the last time you updated the profile, son?

From reading your stuff here, I have to ask if you're leaving out a '1' before both those FM and AM figures? Or is is possible that I'm mis-reading, and that you mean you hear 447 FM stations and 207 AM stations before you brush your teeth each morning? Lol and 73
 
207 FMs, 447 AMs. You probably misread it. I update that message every time I get a new log. So, if I get a new FM log today it goes up to 208, a new AM log would go up to 448 from 447.

WIRL has a very severe night null to the west to protect the 1290 in Omaha. Another null is to the east to protect WHIO. The result is a north-south pattern that usually delivers a good nighttime signal to northern Illinois and Wisconsin.

Daytime is another story. WIRL gets out very well to the west. Even better than the Radio-Locator map indicates. In my college days, when WIRL was very good top 40 station, we used to listen to it regularly in our apartment where I was in southeast Iowa.

I've heard WIRL as far east as near Frankfort, IN, before Dayton and WHIO overpowers Peoria.
