and in other's opinions, it's a waste of a great monster signal.
anotherguy said:KAAY actually had a short run as a CCM format between dropping Top 40 and changing to Dollar a Holler. In the 70's and 80's I could get them in West TN at night. Now they come in OK in the daytime, but not at all at night. I guess it's because of the mostly North-South directional signal. Not that I particularly want to get them now anyway. Although I listen to Christian radio, KAAY is now in the same category with WWCR shortwave and its sister AM stations like WMQM in Memphis in allowing anyone on who flashes enough money in the station management's faces. They're an embarrassment to Christian radio. :-\

i will try to look it up, but i think that he's no longer with us.
between his engineering and pat's promotions, KAAY was truly the "mighty" 10-90.
I could get it in Pittsburgh sometimesFreddyE1977 said:cyberdad said:KAAY had a MONSTER nighttime signal in Iowa where I went to college. Easily the strongest top 40 signal on the am dial. At home in Chicago, it still had a decent nighttime signal, but nothing extraordinary. Never any traces of WBAL, however.
KAAY and WBAL were very nicely and tightly engineered to steer clear of one another.
Living in Pittsburgh I could pick up WBAL after dark, but when I was living in
Columbus, Ohio it was all Little Rock at 1090 with no trace of BAL....just a couple
hours down the highway.

Never got WBAL there ever..
