You could look it up.
The STA request was filed in November. Draft Copy « Licensing and Management System « FCC
KRVN normally blasts into Denver at night; it's still audible here at night but not at nearly its usual strength, for obvious reasons.
i did look it up right after i posted, figuring i should look it up!
they've been heard well on the east coast!
when i used to live in Laramie, WY .. talk about peeling the paint. only once ever logged something else ... in the 4 seconds it took them to do pattern change at sunrise... heard the Oregon station on 880 ID
KRVN's nighttime signal is focused on the Rockies and West Coast, it doesn't even cover the eastern part of its home state (to protect New York's 880).
It generally comes in well here, in Austin, Texas, area, at night, and hasn't been absent that much. Still comes in even with the half power.
There's a Spanish-language station, which I believe is KJOZ from Houston, that often comes in at night and has been heard here lately.
I have a recording from 1980, made in Columbia, Missouri, where, just before the pattern switch, the station explained why it was making the pattern switch! Local sunset for FCC purposes in October in Lexington was half an hour later than Columbia, so there was a window of opportunity there.
Local sunset for FCC purposes at Lexington is 5:15 pm Central time this month; I listened for the power drop this afternoon. It was pretty subtle, but something else that I couldn't identify started chewing into KRVN about 5 minutes after the power reduction. It was coming in well in Denver 15 minutes before it had to cut power.
Those are not "usable coverage" maps.
Example: WYKO in Puerto RIco is barely listenable in Ponce, about 40 miles away and not at all in San Juan, about 80 miles away. It is not listenable in the Dominican Republic and Haiti, at all. In fact, there are stations in San Juan on 870 and Ceiba on 890 making listing in the eastern 2/3 of the island impossible.
That's true.
WIBW 580 Topeka KS is shown to have a gigantic nighttime range that extends to Corpus Christi and almost New Orleans.
I do receive the station at night here in Austin, Texas, but not always.
Sometimes it's strong, other times nonexistent.
I got my 1st log for KRVN 2 weeks ago. About 11pm. From Springfield, OH.
Yup. It's hardly unprecedented, though; KYNO has been airing reruns of Wolfman Jack most weekends for several years now.Wow. They resurrected him from the dead. To go on radio.
The magic of radio at work.

I’ve heard it sometimes at night in Kansas outside of that “coverage map” previously posted.
12/21 21:30 CST 790 KC WNIS Norfolk, VA
News/talk 5kw fair copy.

12/22 22:00 CST 760 KC while listening to the NFL game on WJR, hearing Hispanic music 
and announcing. There's not much foreign dx on this frequency, but did find a possible station. There are a couple possibilities in Mexico, but the most likely due to a mostly direct path is XERA in Chiapas. The other station is in Guadalajara, but it's unlikely due to the distance.

listening to XERA right now, im hearing a speech and talk..... they could play music at night
Thanks for your reply. WJR was quite strong, but also drifted. The other station was mostly weaker, but could be heard throughout the night. They briefly came in with good to strong copy.
Last night, picked up WJXL 1010 sports from Jacksonville Beach, FL, here in the Austin, Texas, area.
Thought it was a first catch for me, but looking at my spreadsheet, I've gotten it before.
Odd because KBBW, a Christian teaching station from Waco, usually comes in at an average level at night, but hasn't been so great lately.

Over here in Houston, XEABC in the Mexico City area (Radio Canon) is usually the dominant station on 760, with WJR underneath. The other common Mexican station I hear is XEDGO in Durango, which I can sometimes hear in XEABC's null. I've never ID'd XERA here. I believe @jim-satx is more fluent in Spanish than I am and may have ID'd other Mexicans on this frequency or have some other ideas about what's possible in your area.
I have also heard KMTL in Arkansas with Spanish language programming around sunrise and sunset.
