I think your real question is are they using their licensed 4 watt night power at night, and the answer should be pretty obvious. As far back as May 2014, I was hearing KFXN down here at all hours of night, and they probably haven't changed one iota since. 500 watts vs. 4 -- can you blame them? 4 watts is laughable. To sufficiently cover the Twin Cities at night, they'd surely need 10 times that, especially with a tower site on the NW side of Minneapolis near Maple Grove and Plymouth.
FWIW, I can get KFXN's directional day signal easily in Spirit Lake, Iowa, 140 miles to the southwest. And as others have pointed out, there's absolutely no need for KFXN to be "pulling in" its daytime signal to the southwest, since the station it once upon a time had to protect -- KUSD in Vermillion, South Dakota -- went silent for good in 1994 as a result of vandalism at its transmitter site.
