I've never noticed KGOW 1560 Houston here at my location 280 plus miles from the KGOW transmitter. Granted they run 46KW daytime 15KW nights, but all of the signal day and night feeds the fishes in the gulf. The signal was a solid 10 to 20db over S-9 on the ICOM 756 Pro from 1800 zulu through 1915 zulu well past grey-line. Since they were running Rice University Football maybe they "forgot" to make pattern/power change? Oddly enough they were much much stronger than 50KW KOKC (KOMA) in OKC.
Another interesting catch...Last night while monitoring expanded band in the car, WTNI 1640 Biloxi MS was pounding into McKinney Texas like a local with minimal fades. While not an earth shattering DX catch it is somewhat odd for my location to receive signals this strong from the south and southeast.
