Far northwest suburban Chicago.....
(Travel day tomorrow. 6/13, so I'm here a little early)
Days: Nothing. Until about a year and a half ago it was splatter from a local daytimer using the WAIT call letters on 850.
Nights: A very solid signal from WHAS
Other Location: This past week at our beach location, as posted in another thread, I was hearing what I'd describe as "easy listening" vocals and instrumentals on a Spanish language station. All alone one night. Mixing or under WHAS on a couple of other ocasions. I'm guessing it was Cuba, but I never did catch an ID. WHAS is usually as strong at the beach near Pensacola as it is at my home location.
Daytimes at that location, 840 is a fair-weak signal from WBHY, 10kw non-directional, from Mobile, AL. About 50 miles northwest of me via a land path with very poor ground conductivity. KGLA from Norco, Louisiana is stronger, although it's only 5kw and three times farther away. Saltwater path makes all the difference.
