[crainbebo]

What do you guys get on 1310?

In Bothell, WA/Bellevue, WA, it's the following.

Days
Nothing, maybe KNPT Newport, OR or KZXR Prosser, WA on a cold, winter day

Sunset
KNPT Newport, OR/KZXR Prosser, WA/KLIX Twin Falls, ID. Also heard KMKY once at sunset.

Night
KLIX Twin Falls, ID dominate. Also heard KMKY Oakland, CA, CHLW St. Paul, AB and KZXR. It's a mess!

In Wapato, WA it's KLIX with several others under. Can't remember most of them.
In Portland, OR it was a big mess with an UNID regional mexican on top. Maybe Crescent City, CA?

Manassas, VA,

Local WDCT Fairfax, VA, with Korean programming. At night, a bunch of stations including a Newport News, VA WGH-AM

 

[cyberdad]

Far Northwest Suburbs of Chicago.

Days: WIBA....weak but reliable.

Nights: Mess...WIBA sometimes on top. "Sometimes" as opposed to "regularly" which used to be the case up until about the early '90s.

KZXR Prosser's at it again. Strong at night when they shouldn't be.

During the day WLTB Utica, NY and CIWW Ottawa, ON mix. At night its usually CIWW dominating.

In Durham, North Carolina, 1310 kHz is always local WTIK (5kW day, 1kW night, with two different directional patterns). When WTIK used to sign off at night 20 years ago, I remember hearing Fairfax's WDCT once. Don't think I've ever heard WGH/Newport News in Durham, even with WTIK protecting their signal.

(speaking of WGH, they are a two site operation with a 20 kW daytime site near Newport News terminus of the Interstate 664/Monitor-Merrimack Bridge-Tunnel and a three-tower 5kW directional nighttime site off Todds lane just inside the Hampton city limits, roughly 4 or 5 miles away from the day site.)

Here in the Philly suburbs, it's Spanish WEMG, "Mega 1310" from Camden NJ.

 

[borderblaster]

Dayton, OH...mostly a weak WTLC, Indianapolis

 

[FreddyE1977]

nothing because I have a local on 1320 (WJAS) and am just way too close to the towers

 

[charlestondxman]

1310 daytime is usually WDKD Kingstree, SC, which has a religious format. Until about a year ago or so, they were one of the few AMs still running Hot AC, simulcast from a Florence FM.

 

[pianoplayer88key]

Here it's XEC Tijuana day & night. I have heard Oakland's Disney under it on occasion, and I think there's other stuff lurking underneath too.

Nightime

KMKY really gets out. I heard them in Hawaii a few years ago.

 

[MarioMania]

I'm going to West Sac in a couple weeks...

See if I could get KMKY there

I think they send most of their night signal into the Pacific which is why they can be heard in Hawaii.
However, you still may hear them in Sacramento.

What station are they protecting?? or if any

I never tried Radio Disney on 1310 in the Daytime in Sac

I was under the impression that the owners shut WDOD off and turned in the license to sell the transmitter site (disgusting for such an old and great facility)
Did they have a change of heart?

Just listed the stations I have identified.
Been a while ago.
September 3, 2009 @9:00PM. My reception log lists they were doing a Chattannoga Lookouts baseball game.

There are quite a few distant stations that figure into it, but nearby KCTC 1320 is a major concern. Because of that I'd say you'll have a difficult time hearing KMKY anywhere near Sacramento, day or night.
