Best AM Signal? 560, 610, or 790?

[Mike Sheridan]

Not that it matters since AM died out a long time ago in South Florida. I was wondering what station has the best coverage out of the remaining English speaking stations. Years ago it may have been 560 or 610, now I'm not sure. Is 790 still at 25,000 watts? Please no out of market map analyzers. I'd like to hear it from people who live there.

Actually, the strongest day signal and one of the strongest night signals used to emanate from a building that sat upon this cleared spot.

You don't trust the all-seeing, all-knowing map analyzers, with all their antenna heights, signal patterns, contour data and dBμ's? For shame!

I would guess 710 beats those three, unless Cuba messes it up.

It used to until WAQI moved from their transmitter site in west Miramar and diplexed with the WQBA sticks on Krome near Tamiami Trail. WAQI also reduced their night power to 10kw and while they cover Miami pretty well Broward reception is very poor after dark. After the change I was able to pick up 700 WLW Cincinnati and 720 WGN Chicago on my car stereo.

I couldn't even guess now. In the Key's WQAM, WGBS and WINZ were heard during the day with no issues, but that was back in the 80's and 90's.
