Is *that* the problem? The grounding system? Or lack thereof, if it has rotted away.
I'm in Conway. At my location, 920 is almost as strong as 1090 during the day. I realize 920's transmitter is closer and they are slightly lower in frequency. Still, it's 50kW on 1090 vs 5kW on 920. KAAY should be *much* stronger here. At night, KAAY suffers splatter interference from KRLD. They should be BOOMING in here at night. That NNW lobe is pointed right at me!
I grew up in Minnesota during the 1970s, so I know what KAAY's signal used to be. They were as strong as the locals from just after sunset until just before sunrise. MANY nights, I fell asleep to Clyde Clifford on a $10 clock radio. When I was up there last summer/fall, I could barely hear KAAY. Yes, there's a noise floor now with everyone having flea power nighttime authorization. But KAAY's raw signal strength was nowhere near what it used to be.
BTW, the "station for sale" might also be 880. I heard them on a few days ago, testing with 1970s tunes and announcements that a new 50,000 watt talk station was coming soon to Little Rock.
