Any Texas AMs powering up at night for Rita?

Hi All - just wondering if any 50,000 watt daytime AMs in Texas (that ordinarily power down at night or switch to night pattern) might stay on 50,000 watts non-directional (or even directional) at night for Rita, on a temporary emergency basis for the next few nights...

KTRH/740 was evidently on the day pattern last night (21 SEP 2005)
since it was blasting into Dallas, even with local KKDA/730 on
the adjacent frequency.

I tuned to 1030 to hear KCTA last night. No...just the usual
hash on that frequency.

Tonight, KRTH is normal signal and their nulls are on pattern.....must be on their night pattern.....(I am 65 miles from their site and the signal is at its normal level..if they were on day pattern, it would be blasting here)

I think he is making reference to the 1030 out of Corpus.
