Daytime Skywave Chicago-Toronto Today

[radioman148]

Near Chicago I can sometimes catch KNX late at night or early morning if I listen long enough. It gets tougher and tougher, but it can still be done by listening for their distinctive news sounder.

+1, in answer to asugeorge's question. Leave your radio on long enough on 1070 late at night and you'll probably eventually hear the sounder (traffic & weather), if nothing else.

And, borderblaster....thanks for the clarification. As for Warsaw, IN....like I said, I was pretty astonished to hear the good signal there from WFNI Monday night. Pattern "out of whack" would seem to be the most plausible explanation....although this was right after the day of the daytime skywave.

CHOK used to be 5000 watts nondirectional daytime. The present day pattern is equivalent to almost 5000 watts in all null and minor lobe directions to the west and southwest. WFNI also has daytime nulls to the north and northwest equivalent to about 5000 watts.

AM 740, Toronto, an easy catch here n. of Chicago at night.

I have been hearing AM 740 here in Louisville loud and clear like a local on Sundays around 4:30.
