KYW 1060 signal

[Jul]

Is KYW 1060's signal a true clear channel 50,000 watt class A AM radio station watt that can be heard in a lot of states a night, even though 1060's signal is directional ?

KYW gets out to many states at night but try to get it in suburban Philllly to the
northeast & good luck.

When I went to college in Oswego, NY (on the south shore of Lake Ontario), KYW 1060 came in perfectly at night.

KYW is indeed a Class A station. (not all 50,000-watt stations are) I certainly hear it fairly well here in the Nashville area at night.

KYW's pattern is directional. The 2 major lobes in the figure-8 pattern are along a northwest-southeast line. The northeast side of the pattern protects the first-adjacent 1050 in New York, plus, if I'm not mistaken a 1060 in Quebec that's now dark. To the southwest, cochannel WLNO New Orleans is protected, as well as XEEP in Mexico City.
