WWJ At Low Power?

Thanks for the tip, it resulted in a new station heard here - WBES Charleston, WV. I'm also hearing "Relevant Radio", but not sure which religious station this one is (there are several). Oh, and no sign of WWJ right now from my location.
 
It's back up, at least to a decent power level. It seemed like < 1 kW when I heard it compared to the interference.

I found it after I checked 690 to see if it was "night" in SE Michigan. WNZK was on 680. I checked 690 and was getting WJOX 690 Birmingham. I was then checking for WERC 960 before pattern change, but I was getting WSBT clearly with no IBOC sidebands from WWJ. It was then that I discovered that WWJ was apparently at very low power.
 
IBOC sidebands were off for at least a couple of hours, allowing 940 and 960 to be DXed better.

If you're in Western Michigan, the broadside orientation of the East West lines of towers does make the high angle skywave stronger. By the time you get to Chicago, the high angle skywave has fallen off to protect WNTD.
