AM Frequency of the week - 1510 kHz

About when would you estimate the winter daytime skywave factor should be completely gone, radioman148? (For example, you, at the touch-down zone for the 70-80% angle radiation of a QRSS CW transmission (in the AM BCB) with several megawatts of ERP in your direction, and theoretically assuming there was no groundwave, no interference from other sources, and a dit length of, say, 10-15 minutes, could not detect any trace of a carrier even with the best receiving equipment available.)
 
Little update from Boise.
KGA still in there, about the same, maybe a little weaker then when they were 50 kW.
KGA would be listenable if not for KCKK, who is about even with KGA. Not supposed to hear them at all! Even if they were running their daytime power & pattern at night.

Someone else leaves a carrier on most night too.

Maybe it's KIRV Fresno? I heard them once at sunset. KGA dominates here, but once or twice caught KSFN-CA too. Never have gotten KFNN or anything else on the West Coast on 1510.

I was going to ask if you ever caught the Bay Area 1510 (sister station involved in the KGA power down, IIRC)....but then I realized that the calls are now KSFN.

It is KIRV, they have been running their dead air carrier after sunset on and off for years.
 
Daytime in eastern Kansas get local KCTE Independence MO with sports programming. At night, can sometimes get WLAC Nashville but surprised how weak their signal is in this area. Also get KTTT Columbus NB with oldies at sun-up or sun-down once in a while.
 
1510 was home to legendary Boston Top 40 WMEX but had major signal problems to the SW and W.

30 years ago they moved their transmitter to Waltham, MA and went to 50 KW fulltime. 10 years ago when the station carried the Celtics they got many letters from the Bergen, Norway area.
