Re: [IRCA] WNAX's daytime signal

A few years ago as I was driving across I-70 west of Salina KS I marvelled that I could listen to them during the daytime until I headed north on KS 23 heading to McCook NE. Same next day with KRAI 550 from CO. G

Subject: [IRCA] WNAX's daytime signal

I'm kinda curious as to how much ground WNAX can cover in the daytime.  From 
roadtrips I've done in recent years, I've been able to note the following -- 

 
Iowa City, IA            8/28/2002  Good signal, 3 on a scale of 1 (faint) to 5 
(local) 

Custer, SD                10/3/2002  Poor signal, rate it a 2 
Otter Tail Lake, MN   8/2/2008  Very good signal, rate it a 3 1/2
Grand Forks, ND       8/3/2008  Good signal, rate it a 3 
Salina, KS                  5/31/2010  Fair signal, rate it a 2 1/2 (through 
lots of WIBW splash)
Washington, MO        4/16/2011  Not there at all  
Jefferson City, MO     4/17/2011  Still not there, until...
Boonville, MO            4/17/2011  Faint, rate it a 1 

So that should give you some idea of what their daytime coverage looks like.  
Not quite as big as CBK or KFYR, but still pretty impressive.

WNAX is directional at night with the main lobe aiming NW. Comes booming in here 
at night.
