KSL 1160-Salt Lake City
KOA 850-Denver
KOKC 1520-Oklahoma City
KCKN 1020-Roswell(sometimes in comes in during the daytime)

All are pretty normal visitors there at night, along with WBAP 820 Dallas, KNX 1070 LA, KFI 640 LA, KNBR 680 San Francisco, and KTNN 660 Window Rock (among others). You might even get some Chicago stations from there too.....

Interestingly enough I was able to pull in KCKK AM 1510 from Denver as well. Didn't know they had a strong nighttime signal.

You might also try:

KCBS 740 - all news (CBS) - San Francisco

KNX 1070 - all news/IBOC ND - (CBS) - all news - L.A.

KFI 640 - ND - n/t - L.A.

AM 690 out of El Paso covers just about all of New Mexico (Larry King, Alan Colmes, C2C)

AM 630 out of Denver (n/t, CC, C2C) This is the C2C station for us when KKOB has the infomercial for its first hour on Sunday evenings.

AM 710 Denver (KNUS) Salem, and Bob Brinker delayed on weekend evenings

AM 1090 XETRA sports and AM 1700 n/t both out of Rosarita, Mexico

I did, and after messing with the antenna I was able to pull in all at once! KCBS came in rather strong which actually surprised me.

You might want to try for 740 ktrh Houston if the 740 in tulsa does not over ride it. Last time was in NM I was able to get 740 ktrh house it was weak but listenable

Only in certain directions. KCKK beams almost all of its signal over a narrow beam just east of due north and just west of due south. Albuquerque is right in the middle of its spot beam. I wouldn't be surprised if you got a better KCKK signal in Albuquerque than would be received by a listener 10 miles east of the station's towers.

Actually this isn't all that unusual. *Most* AM stations that have more than trivial nighttime power use directional antennas, and quite a few have very narrow patterns.

Fiddle around some more this evening just after sunset and got a TON of signals:

KNBR 680 San Francisco
KDWN 720 Las Vegas
XEROK 800 Juarez
WBAP 820 Fort Worth
KRVN 880 Lexington, Nebraska
XEW 900 Mexico City
KCKN 1020 Roswell(already listed)
KTWO 1030 Casper
XEG 1050 Monterrey
KWKH 1130 Shreveport, Louisianna
KSL 1160 Salt Lake City(already listed)
KFAQ 1170 Tulsa
WOAI 1200 San Antonio
KOKC 1520 Oklahoma City(already listed)
AM 1570--Not sure, never heard station identification

Oddly I wasn't able to pull in KOA...

Your 1570 is XERF, Ciudad Acuña. They are 250 kW, non-directional, 24 hours a day. I don't get them here; instead, I get IBOC hash from 1580 KMIK, which is about 4 miles from here.

Your 1570 is XERF, Ciudad Acuña. They are 250 kW, non-directional, 24 hours a day.

XERF hasn't fired up the big rig in years, and it's highly unlikely that ever would go above their present level of 100,000 watts: www.radio-info.com/smf/index.php/topic,62229.msg441466.html#msg441466 There's a twist to the story, however, unless something has changed; under long-standing agreements to which the U.S. is a party XERF's "allocated" power supposedly remains at 250,000 watts. That affects any changes to existing stations or applications for new ones on 1570 in the U.S. or Canada, since other stations still technically have to afford protection to XERF at its former "super-power" operating level. It looks like a couple of exceptions may have been made recently, though.
