Re: [IRCA] WNAX's daytime signal



WNAX runs 5KW all the time. Directional at night and single tower during the day.

A projected coverage map can be found at WNAX <http://www.radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=WNAX&service=AM&status=L&hours=D> .

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.
