At my location 40 miles northwest of Downtown Cubsville....
Day: Weak WOKY from Milwaukee. WBAA can usually be heard faintly underneath, especially in a car radio where there are holes in WOKY's signal. (Which is nulled to the south).
Nights: WOKY powers down from 5kw to 1kw, but actually still sends more signal in my direction. It still gets swallowed up in the mess, and CFRY from Manitoba is now more likely to emerge on top. Before sunrise this morning, CFRY was actually blasting. I've also heard KARN and WBAA from time to time.
Retro: In the 1960s, WOKY was a regular listen for me. Strategically placed between WLS and WCFL. With a good, well-placed, well-oriented radio, it was very listenable during the daytime. Even more so on 1kw with their spike that went southwest. The now-defunct CFCY from Sault Sainte Marie Ontario was an occasional pest, however. WOKY was an excellent top-40 station with a tighter, and higher-energy presentation than the two Chicago top-40 powerhouses.
