John,

Yes, I was looking at the day pattern as it WOULD be of importance to 
someone out
West as the greyline passes through Indianapolis before WIBC drops power and
changes pattern.

The night southwest lobe looks to be on the order of 500 watts at night. After
insulting the Nand McRally moad rap for Indiana, I conclude that the minor 
lobes
are to cover Vincennes and Bloomington, Indiana.

I have more than a passing interest in WIBC, in light of experiences we had
with them when I was still a teenager.
