WBZ sends its entire signal inland. That's night and day, same pattern.
(So, in fact, does WWL New Orleans. Both stations use two towers.)

When I had an apartment in NE Philly, I'd be driving through it -- actually part of Philadelphia -- on Route 1 -- 'The Boulevard'. On a loud smear in the middle of the car's analog dial I had a loud WBZ, sometimes with the afternoon sun still bright.
KYW 1060 was a feeble neighbor on the dial. KYW is directional and pulls their signal *in*, away from the northeast.
But still ..... Boston that loud? In the Philadelphia city limits?
 
Laramie is probably in a skywave cancellation zone for KTWO. Many nights here where CKWX-1130 (220 miles) is S9+40 and KIRO-710 (100 miles) has tons of QRM.

Actually, laramie is in a null for K2... not so much skywave cancellation

If you're hearing IBOC hash on 1640 and 1660 kHz, it's coming from 1650 CKZW in Montreal (1 kW). Somebody up there thought it was a good idea to put a new Expanded Band AM station on the air in 2007.

Probably because it was the only way to put in another AM station at the time. There are so many vacated AM frequencies in Canada, you would think they could move down the dial to something better.

Several of the Canadian expanded band stations are former FM subcarrier channels that were given an AM license in the 2000s. They have various ethnic formats.
 
1030 AM with Spanish Christian music weakly last night, but it didn't match with any of the streamed Spanish Christian stations I found on Radio-Locator. One song played was "Ven y Llena Esta Casa" by Grupo De Alabanza. Anyone have any idea which station it could be?
 
In Houston, driving around 7:35pm last night (1/3), sitting on 1400. A voice faded up in time to mention North Texas Radio Group LP and 104.7 FM. Search tells me this is KEBE Jacksonville Texas. Apparently they've been silent since 2022 but just returned to air.

This is station #513 in the logbook but only my third on 1400 (aside from local KHCB).

Might be KCWJ from Blue Springs (Kansas City), MO. 500 watts nights. There is also a Spanish Christian station on 1030 in San Luis Obispo, CA.

It wasn’t KCWJ, it didn’t match their stream. I’m sure it wasn’t the SLO station, either. I checked it as I was listening to it, against every streaming Spanish Christian station Radio-Locator lists on 1030.

I’m thinking it may have been WGSF from Memphis, TN. But I don’t know if Radio Ambiente plays Christian music at all.
 
Last night around 8pm CST on 1690 I was hearing Pittsburgh Steelers football. This was the Steelers network, complete with ads for local Pittsburgh businesses. I never heard a station ID, so searching around I found that WMLB Atlanta carries the Steelers network for some reason.

Kind of odd but reminds me that, 25 years ago, here in Houston one of the minor AM's carried the University of Oklahoma football network, paid for by the local OU alumni.
 
Was it KCOH? I remember them carrying Oklahoma games when I lived in Houston from 2007-09, and I think LSU games were available in the market then too.
Nice catch on WMLB too. Very surprised an Atlanta station is even allowed to air the Steelers or any other out-of-market team. Groundwave on 1690 in the Atlanta area must be about as bad as it gets.
 
Currently (7:30pm), WGSF 1030 Memphis is surely on day power with SS talk equal to the usual XEQR.
