40 miles northwest of downtown Chicago.....
DAY and NIGHT: All WIND with a very good signal. Their transmitter site is more than 60 miles away along I-80, several miles into Indiana. But the signal here is competitive with all of Chicago's 50kw blowtorches. In fact, it's at least the equal of WLS, as well as better than WMVP (1000) and WYLL (1160). It helps that WIND's 5 killowatts are aimed in my direction on their day pattern, and even slightly more so at night.
Retro: When WIND has been off at night, the most frequent visitor here has been KWTO. KLZ has also turned up a few times. Generally pre-dawn Monday mornings.
