Far northwest suburbs of Chicago.....
Days: WHA 5kw ND from Madison, WI. 80 miles away. Fair-weak signal.
Nights: WHA drops to 51 watts and completely disappears. The channel becomes a mix of signals, none of which is dominant. In recent years, KQAQ from Austin, MN is the most likely to rise to the top, although it's far from being a regular. On top of that, the KQAQ pattern doesn't favor my location even remotely. I also hear WMAY (Springfield, IL) once in a while. Both KQAQ and WMAY are listed as 500 watts at night, but at least WMAY's pattern favors me.
Other Location: At our beach getaway spot on the Gulf, west of Pensacola, WFLA is one of the Tampa-St. Pete signals that makes the daytime saltwater path hop on a reliable basis. Signal is weak and gets splatter from the Pensacola 980 (WRNE), but it's there every day. WFLA disappears at night, however.
