The desert stations don't get out like they used to. I used to hear 970,
1140, 1270 regularly. Now I only hear 1140. 970 is lost to IBOC from KFWB.
1270 moved COL and I only hear Tijuana now. Did they move transmitter too?
920 isn't heard during the daytime either.

The GYs are tough. I still haven't heard 1400, my closest unheard GY. I
barely caught bits and pieces of KGAM a couple times in 2008 but no verie
from them. KWXY verified in 2006 and only heard that one time. KMET is
dominant here with a fair signal.
