Re: [IRCA] Alaska from the midwest?

KENI-650's pattern protects WSM, so it might be a bit tough to hear in 
the midwest.

KBBI-890 is a possibility if you could phase out WLS (good luck!).  It 
and KTKN-930 are the two Alaskans I hear most often.  KBBI is non 
commercial/NPR .   It has lots of jazz and blues during the wee hours, 
so the programming is somewhat distinctive.  I'm not sure what you would 
hear on a western beverage if you could get rid of WLS, but CJDC would 
be both a good propagation indicator and a source of interference.
