Do You Get These Stations at night?

from Cincinnati, Ohio (about eleven miles northeast of downtown)

540 - CBK - No.
650 - WSM - Yes.
670 - WSCR - Yes - Have heard it since it was WMAQ.
810 - KGO - No. Usually WGY in Schenectady, New York is heard here on that frequency.
830 - WCCO - Yes.
1010 - CFRD - At times in the past.
1170 - WWVA - At times. In the 1950's, it could be heard in this area in the daytime.
1190 - KEX - No. On that frequency I hear WOWO from Ft. Wayne, Indiana.
1500 - KSTP - No.
1530 - KFBK - No. WCKY is heard here (and in many parts of the Western Hemisphere).
1540 - ZNS-1 - No.
 
Here in Lake Geneva, WI (SE WI)

540 CBX---No. I'd love to log that one, but Jackson, WI's WAUK is a fixture here
650 WSM---Every night. It's a great station
670 WSCR---Can't get away from them & their IBOC noise
810 KGO---That's one I'd like to snag, but WGY dominates at night
830 WCCO---Every night if IBOC noise from 840 WHAS permits
1010 CFRB---Every night, but best in the early mornings,
1170 WWVA---Most nights
1190 KEX---Here's another for the wishlist, as WOWO dominates day & night.
1500 KSPT---A nightly visitor. Days it's Zion, IL's WBJX
1530 KFBK---Never. Nights, its Cincinnati's WCKY & days are filled with Elmhurst, IL's WJJG
1540 ZNS-1---Only heard it once about 10 years ago. Days, the channel is clear if I can null out the splatter from 1550 WZRK in my yard. Nights, its mostly Waterloo's 1540 KXEL
 
540 - no - Cuba/Carribean
650 - WSM - yes
670 - no - WFAN bleed
810 - no CKLW bleed
830 - WCCO - yes
1010 - WINS and old WCFL/KDKA bleed. I'm in their null.
1170 - WWVA - yes
1190 - WOWO
1500 - WTOP
1530 - no
1540 - WNWR Phila, day. Believe it or not, KXEL, IA at critical hours.

R'cvd Coastal Southern NJ.
 
From Charleston, SC

540 CBK= Never, just a wish here. Usually, splatter from my local 1450 (weirdly), or WFLF from Orlando, good day and night.
650 WSM= Good signal most nights, some nights, WFAN interferes.
670 WSCR= Get about 50% of the time, usually mixed with Miami and a couple others. During day, almost always Miami (over 475 miles, all water ;D)
810 KGO= Never, too far, usually WGY, one time several years back, got Kansas City. During day, WQIZ (St. George, SC) with below average signal.
830 WCCO= Comes in on the coldest winter mornings and late night, but usually blocked by station from Kernersville, NC (WTRU).
1010 CFRB= Picked up a couple of times before, five or six years ago, but usually a wild mix of stations (WINS, WFGW, Atlanta, others). During day, a weak Jacksonville on 1010.
1170 WWVA= Most nights, strong, except for a couple of Spanish stations.
1190 KEX= Never, too far, almost always WOWO at night, even with 9,800 watts. During day, used to get WWIO from St. Mary's GA, but it weakened signal.
1500 KSTP= never, in the main zone for Washington, which is usually the second or third strongest clear channel here.
1530 KFBK= never, usually WCKY at night strong.
1540 ZNS-1= Probably pick up most nights, but not during day. Never gotten KXEL.
 
from Memphis, TN

540 CBK - not once. if there's anything besides noise here it's WFLF
650 WSM - every night, under splatter from a local on 640
670 WSCR - once again, under splatter from a local on 680
810 KGO - not once. i get WHB or WGY if anything
830 WCCO - every night
1010 CFRB - on occasion, comes in better in the winter months
1170 WWVA - not once, it's KFAQ here, if anything
1190 KEX - not once, it's WOWO or a bunch of noise
1500 KSTP - not once. i'm not sure i've ever gotten anything on 1500 before.
1530 KFBK - nope, it's WCKY
1540 ZNS-1 Bahamas - no, it's something in Spanish from Texas

In Columbus, WWVA absolutely disappears once it switches to nighttime pattern. I'm astonished to hear all these other reception reports from far away.

540 CBK - Never. CBEF Windsor is the dominant signal.
650 WSM - Yes, fadey.
670 WSCR - Yes, pretty strong.
810 KGO - Never. WGY dominates.
830 WCCO - Before the breakdown of the Clears, WCCO was a regular here south of Boston. Now, 830 is a mess.
1010 CFRB -Yes. Under WINS.
1170 WWVA - Yes, very strong.

540 CBK - Nope Mexican stations blairing in
650 WSM - Almost every night, some intermixing with a local station on 640 but can usually nul them out
670 WSCR - occasionally I catch this one if I remember as it intermixes with some spanish stations
810 KGO - Nope
830 WCCO - If local spanish station is off the air I can
1010 CFRB - nope faint hint of local religious or mix with spanish (during day is local religious station)
1170 WWVA - nope catch KFAQ Tulsa (50kw)
1190 KEX - nope catch KFXR Dallas
1500 KSTP - actually intermix noise of a local sports station on 1490 and WLAC Nashville on 1510 (or local station during day)
1530 KFBK - No forget what I catch
1540 ZNS-1 Bahamas- Nope other local spanish station during daytime -noise at night

Surprised you didn't choose WLAC Nashville, WWL New Orleans, WBAP Dallas, KWKH Shreveport, or many of the other regional power houses in the south also


SW of New Orleans,Louisiana
 
My son told me that he had 540 Orlando while driving on I 95 about 1 hr after local sunrise in 2005 just several days before Christmas. He's not a DX er; he lived in the Orlando area (at the time) and 540 happened to be one of his presets and playing with the radio on a long trip is a major diversion.
He lost the station (540) as soon as the un got higher up.

this just in...your "some nashville station" on 650 IS WSM...now back to Roller Derby...already in progress
 
From the Duluth, MN area:

540 CBK - Yes, every night. Reliable, if not some noise.
650 WSM - Yes, every night.
670 WSCR - Yes, every night, very strong. Adjacents are deteriorated because of WSCR's IBOC.
810 KGO - Nope, this frequency is a mess. WHB and WGY mainly.
830 WCCO - Yes, they're close. During the day too.
1010 CFRB - Yes, this or WINS
1170 WWVA - I've heard it, not sure if it's regular
1190 KEX - No
1500 KSTP - Yes, weaker than WCCO.
1530 KFBK - Nope
1540 ZNS-1 Bahamas - Nope
 
from just south of Pittsburgh, PA

540 CBK - no- local Radio Disney on that freq.
650 WSM - most nights
670 WSCR - always
810 KGO - never, usually WGY Schenectady
830 WCCO - most nights
1010 CFRB - sometimes, hashed in with 1010 WINS from NYC
1170 WWVA - yes, right down the road, but not as strong as you'd think.
1190 KEX - no, was in prime WOWO territory before WLIB upgrade, now I
get hash from both.
1500 KSTP - sometimes, back and forth with WTOP, Washington, DC
1530 KFBK - no, just WCKY
1540 ZNS-1 Bahamas - never

I saw the prior poser from Columbus commenting on WWVA disappearing at sunset.
I have been on I-70 between Zanesville and Cambridge and completely lost them too.
Their pattern appears to be highly directional, north by northeast.
