BIG-8 CKLW sounds good in Central Jersey

800AM comes in great Sunday morning at 1:30 am - driving south on the Parkway in New Jersey, over Telegraph Hill, signal is booming, as well as 1090 WBAL.
Coming in as loud as local signals WADB, and WHTG.

Interesting... I wonder how much the weather had to do with that. Oddly enough, CKLW was dead at my location (Hillsdale County, Michigan) all night last night.<P ID="signature">______________

Yeah, Hillsdale County is right beside CK's big null towards XEROK but I'm surprised there'd be no sign of it at all. Even in Toledo CKLW is very listenable at night, as it is until you get to around Findlay before the signal disappears entirely. I believe those two cities are directly behind the biggest null. Is CK usually a strong signal in Hillsdale?
I'm not at all surprised to see it heard in New Jersey. Anyone know the ERP in that direction?

When I tried to listen to the Big 8 reunion show a couple of years ago, I couldn't make anything out except the song "Scorpio" deep in the mud. 800 really sounds like a graveyard in these parts (Dayton, OH). It used to be you'd hear a strong PJB with a weak CKLW underneath it.<P ID="signature">______________

Yeah, I usually pick it up 24/7, even being in the null. At night it does become subject to phasing and night fade, but it's always there. Sunday night it was just... dead. No phasing, no fade, nothing.<P ID="signature">______________

The equivalent power toward Central Jersey from CKLW is about 120kw... a bit more in North Jersey, less in South.
CKLW's deepest nighttime null is NE toward Montreal (CJAD)... about 1100 watts.<P ID="signature">______________
