With the Easter Bunny lurking, I thought I'd "hop" in a day earlier than usual. Happy Easter/Happy Passover everyone...and STAY SAFE!i
Far Northwest Chicago suburbs....WHA from Madison, WI (NPR) in daily with a fair signal. 5kw Non-directionl from about 80 miles northwest of me,
Night: WHA goes to "flea power" and vanishes. What's left on 970 are a bunch of weak signals. WMAY, Springfield IL, most likely to rise to the top, but not all that often. Only 500 watts night power, but the pattern favors me. KQAQ, Austin, MN, is a rather distant "second most likely". Also 500 watts but the night pattern (supposedly) doesn't favor me. I've also heard WGTK (Formerly WAVE), from Louisville, KY a few times.
Other Location. At our vacation location on the Gulf of Mexico near Pensacola, A weak WFLA is usually able to make the daytime hop across the gulf from the Tampa Bay area.
