WDJX Then and Now

I didn't know that about AM 1080 powering down at night, however I do know for a fact that some AM Signals are stronger at night. Especially AM Stations that are 50,000 watts 24/7. I also know this due to the fact that you can pick up a lot of different stations from all across the country that you normally could not pick up during the day.

Again, AM signals are not stronger at night. WHAS does not change the power of their signal. Nighttime atmospheric conditions makes reception easier.

And I have been a radio and television engineer for 27 years, I don't need a primer from Wikipedia on how the ionosphere works.

Ok then I didn't say it the way I meant to say it. I didn't literally mean that "AM Signals" at night were more powerful wattage wise, what I should have said is that "AM signals get out further at night". Sorry that I did not make myself more clear.

It was a simple misunderstanding.
