AM Frequency of the week: 1310

cyberdad

40-ish miles northwest of "Loyola Town"....

Days: WIBA. 5kw ND from Madison, WI. About 85 miles northwest of me. Weak, but listenable....especially on a good car radio.

Nights: WIBA disappears. CIWW most likely to surface on top of the slop.

Rbetro/Other Location: WIBA used to be audible here 24/7. As for CIWW.... As "Oldies 1310" that was my "go-to" in between my business appointments when I was in Ottawa or Montreal. The distance between the two cities is roughly 100 miles, and at 50kw, CIWW's day signal easily made the hop. I also used to try for CIWW here on a fairly frequent basis. I did hear it here a few times, but it was relatively rare. Fast forward to a couple of years ago, and since then, CIWW has been on a near-nightly basis.

Possibly another example of how both the CRTC and FCC seem to have bigger concerns than out-of-whack patterns and power levels on the AM band.
 
The valley of the Jolly Green Giant (LeSueur, MN)

daytime-KGLB Glencoe (classic country satellite fed)
nightime-KGLB with a mish mash of others (they are at 270 watts and I'm 25+ miles from it)
 
Near north Chicago suburbs: Day--nothing really, I've heard WIBA usually just before sunset. At night a mess, I've heard CIWW, but mostly this frequency is a mess at night at my location.
 
Here in Wood Dale, IL in the near NW suburb of Chicago:

Daytime: WIBA Madison, WI
Nightime: nothing really stands out

DX/RETRO: Some catches in the past include KOKX (Keoukuk, IA), WMLF (Indianapolis, IN), WDOD (Chattanooga, TN), WNIC (Dearborn, MI), CIWW (Ottawa, ON), CHGB (La Pocatiere, PQ) and La Voz de la Patria, Barranquilla, Colombia
 
From NW San Antonio…

Daytime: Local easy listening station KAHL

Sunset: KTCK "The Ticket" in Dallas can be heard in a partial null of KAHL

Night: KAHL drops from 5 kw to 236 watts and can be nulled pretty well to where KTCK has a fairly steady moderate signal. XETIA "Radio Vital" in Tonal sometimes mixes in and occasionally takes over.

Sunrise: XEVB in Monterrey and XEAM in Matamoros can occasionally be heard in the mix when they go to day power.
 
In Montville CT
Daytime: It's WICH from Norwich CT which is a 5kw Nostalgia station, a station where seniors call in complain about their cable tv. Despite being under 10 miles away, it has a SE directional signal and I am WSW from the towers.
Nighttime: It's a combination of WICH and WORC out of Worcester MA, a tropical or spanish station about 65 miles straight north of here. Nighttime power is only 1kw.
