AM Frequency of the Week: 610

From NW San Antonio:

Day: A fairly good signal from KILT "Sports 610" in Houston.

Sunset: KILT weakens due to groundwave/skywave cancellation. In its N/S null, KFNZ "The Fan" in KC MO, comes up. A little later, XEGS in Guasuave emerges and is often on top until it reduces power.

Night: KFNZ is dominant and usually has a good signal. XEGS is sometimes heard faintly underneath; it has a better though still weak signal in KFNZ's E/W null. KILT used to be a nighttime regular but is now rarely heard ever since its move/power reduction.

Sunrise: The frequency becomes more of a mess. Urban gospel WAGG in Birmingham can occasionally be heard weakly for a bit. To my NW, KNML "The Sports Animal" in Albuquerque is usually in/out for a bit when it goes to day power, and XESORN in Saltillo sometimes comes up weakly to the SE. KILT starts to dominate once again as it goes back to day power.

DX/Retro: I heard Radio Rebelde once at sunset a few years back. Before XEBX in Sabinas was retired, I used to be able to hear it mixing with KILT during the daytime on my sensitive radios when the latter was partially nulled.
 
Wilmington Delaware

Strong signal from WTEL in Philadelphia (formally WIP) with Black Information Network programming. It is easily the strongest Philly AM signal here because its' XMTR is S of Philly in NJ and easily makes the trip down I-295 to Wilmington. Most of Philly AM's XMTR's are located NW of Philly (560, 950, 990, 1060, 1480). WTMR (800) is near Camden NJ and comes in well. WPHT (1210) is E of Philly and is so-so.
 
Clifton, New Jersey

Days: Some splatter from WSNR "Davidzon Radio 620 AM" Jersey City, NJ.

Nights: It's usually WTEL Philadelphia, PA. On 02/08/2024, I received WIOD Miami, FL which is around 1,094 miles away from me.
 
From the southwest suburbs of Chicago ...

A mixture most nights, and nothing days thanks to adjacent WTMJ (though not because of their IBOC):

WDAF / KCSP Kansas City, Mo.; WIP Philadelphia; WSGN / WAGG Birmingham; WTVN Columbus, Ohio, most recently heard at 1.25 kW on their ND TSA; WIOD Miami; and KDAL Duluth, the latest catch (6/11/2020 overnight).
 
KILT Houston is what comes in every day (and night) here in central TX.
620 KTNO Plano TX Radio Luz comes in during the day.
There's not enough splatter from 610 or 620 or even 600, KTBB, Tyler, TX, to amount to anything.
