They were switching, even then - it's just that you happened to be 
iving in the direction where their nighttime signal was as strong as 
maybe even stronger than) their day signal.
WGR is non-directional by day; its night pattern is unchanged since the 
950s, when they upgraded from 1 kW to 5 kW at night. It's a figure-8 
imed north-northwest (at Toronto) and south-southeast. It has a very 
eep null to protect WKRC in Cincinnati and another to protect WDEV in 
ermont and CFNB in New Brunswick. (Everything else on 550, like Rhode 
sland, came later.)
