So let's try this one again! Frank, if you're hanging around, perhaps you can delate the attempts that I...and Bruce...made to start the thread when the board was down. I don't believe it's possible to post in those. Thanks....and thanks to those who got the board back up and running.
Back OT. Frequency of the week: 640
Days here far northwest suburbs of Chicago. It's a very weak, but usually reliable, WMFN from the Grand Rapids, Michigan area. With a good radio, especially in winter, it's possible to catch WOI in the background. As many of you know, WMFN has a CP to move to the far southwest suburbs of Chicago. 4400 watts aimed right at the city should provide a fairly respectable signal.
Nights: Currently it's aa mix of stations with WMFN most frequently on top. WOI is "second most likely" to surface. When WMFN comes on semi-locally with 1600 watts nighttime, it should comfortably own the channel, but I'd expect to hear other stations in the background, and an easy-to-null signal.
Retro: In the '60s and on into the mid-70s KFI was often doable, but I wouldn't call it regular. By the late '70s and into the '80s, KFI became less frequent, and when WWLS came on nights from Oklahoma, it was usually on top. Actually, I haven't heard either one, at least in identifiable form, for quite a while. Evenings before sunset in Los Angeles, often would produce WHLO from Akron.
