Daytime? I'd say not in any particular order: 550, 680, 760, 1200 and for the 5th slot either 720, 860, 930 or 1100. Probably 860. 630 has a low dial position and is strong in the north, but has a very severe null on the south side of the market.

I can hear 680 KKYX in DFW. That's the only San Antonio station that comes in during the day. WOAI appears occasionally at night. I always thought KTSA was strong, but it's amazing to me how much daytime reach 630 and 860 have.
And i recall seeing a night time coverage map of the old KMAC-630 AM. It looked like a bunch of bananas.

Here in Austin, it's WOAI. No contest. I remember listening to WOAI down in the Valley when I worked there 30 years ago.

Down here in the Valley (McAllen) I can regularly get 550, 680, 760, and 1200 when i can nudge out 1210 in Alamo.

Gotta love high power AM directional signals. I recall a jock who worked at KBUY 1540 describing their signal as "50,000 watts coast to coast and five miles either side of the line."

Whether it be day or night "Country Legends 680 KKYX" is here in Houston. WOAI has it's moments, as does KTSA. 720 is listenable during the day, but haven't seen it at night. We lost any signal from KTMR 1130 in Houston when it moved from Edna to Converse. We used to get 760 here in Houston a long time ago, back when it was Z-Rock.

It would be 550, and 1200 for the South Austin area.
