The move of WMFN to 640 has prevented any of us in the Chicago area from hearing KFI again.

I knew that WNWI were co-owned, and also WTOR. Doesn't Birach also own WNDZ, 750 in Portage, Indiana? If that's true, he's also got WGN and WBBM within 30kw in the same market. WTOR is another interesting case. The signal is good in Toronto. Lisenable, but still noticeably weaker than CFZM. It's also listenable for about 100 miles going north from Toronto on the 400 freeway.
Toronto is also a great fit for the Birach business model. A very large city (roughly the size of Chicago) with a very diverse population.
It's confusing since it's the same Modus Operandi, but WNDZ 750 Portage, IN and KIRN 670 Simi Valley, CA are NOT owned by Sima Birach.
I even went outside, I only got KOMO
Only 1,000 miles to the East, But KSOO doesn't throw its signal to the West

10:26pm and again around 11pm, 1050 KLOH Sioux Falls, SD (600 mi, NEW!) with modern cointry music. I matchd a Chris Stapleton song via Soundhound to KLOH's online playlist
And of course, KSOO Sioux Falls, sometimes local in strength, with ESPN Radio.

I heard KLOH this morning also. For about a half hour before sunrise, mostly with a good signal until second adjacent local WNVR splatter blew them away. I also heard them before sunrise once about a month ago. Unless something has changed, I beleive the KLOH COL is actually Pipestone, MN, which is near Sioux Falls.
Thanks for the info. Definitely similar M.O.

WNDZ was a regular catch at sign on for me in Laramie, WY when KMMJ 750 Grand Island NE hadnt signed on for the day yet or was at 500 watt pre sunrise power.
I caught WNDZ literally, as it was signing on with the sign on message and anthem .. several times.

Excellent! I went for it later after I read your post, but only heard KFBK. Early in the evening the Iceland receiver was dead, but it just opened up to WWKB, WBZ, a combo of CFRB and WINS and WLS.
All night 1620 KYIZ and 1420 KRIZ were off the air, and still off the air now. 1420 I heard KITI (Centralia WA) and presumed KUJ Walla Walla WA -- nice to hear them for a change. On 1620 I got the Catholic station out of Sacramento. Conditions were decent during the evening, took a turn for the grainy around 5 a.m. or so.
KITI is the dominant station on 1420 here some 1700 or so miles away in central Alaska. It's mostly all i hear on 1420.. sometimes not so well, sometimes fairly well. The only other log I think i have on 1420 is an occasional KSTN Stockton, CA
Here's a clip of KITI up here, including a KITI jingle at the 21 second mark
I'm on the Maui SDR, I'm hearing Japanese on 1430
Another new one for me at my home location....
WREC 600 from Memphis. 5am CDT this morning with TOH positive ID. On top of the channel WMT nulled and a fair, but steady signal. Radio was the C Crane Skywave. I know a number of you guys have heard this one, and I've heard it myself during my travels and on beach vacations on the Gulf. But this is the first time I've heard it at my home location. I presume they were running 5kw day pattern.
Conditions were generally good this morning before sunrise on the lower end of the dial. I had spent about a half hour on 1340 waiting to see if something would break through. Nothing did, so I "went low" and heard CBK blowing away WAUK on 540,,,,something that hasn't happened in a while. Then there was also something trashing KTRS on 550. I couldn't ID it, but I suspect either WSAU or WKRC. And finally, CKRM was in on 620 with WTMJ nulled.

Nice job getting WREC and CKRM.
If you're on 1431, there are several lower power (5 and 1kw) Japanese stations. They may all run All Night Nippon overnight.
I had WREC with quite a strong and steady signal around 1945 CDT today.
