I don't think I've ever once read a post saying that for KDKA. I've even seen people in the Pittsburgh area commenting on here about the signal deficiencies.
I wonder why KDKA's signal doesn't seem up to par with the other 50KWs?
Locally I'm sure it has something to do with the terrible ground conductivity. I saw a post elsewhere reporting that KDKA's cancellation zone is a mere 40-50 miles from their tower, which is pretty pathetic.
Skywave-wise, I have no idea. It reminds me of WLS, but again I see a lot more reports of good reception of WLS than I ever have of KDKA.
The WLS situation is strange because years ago they had the best skywave of any of the Chicago 50KWs.
KDKA's skywave at least for me has always seemed substandard.
