I'm 30 miles NW of their towers. Daytime pretty fair; can't hear them at
night.

Interesting. I wonder what their pattern(s) look like. Radio-locator doesn't
have it yet.
If I'm not mistaken, 540 is a Canadian (-Mexican?) clear. Being on such a
low frequency where groundwave gets out really well, especially in the rich
soil of the upper Midwest (see KFYR, CBK for some huge coverage), I would
think they would need to take great effort to limit the signal to the north
and west. On the other hand, Jackson Wisconsin isn't so far away to the
southeast, and Fort Dodge Iowa isn't so far away to the southwest. Their
assigned power of 1000/250 might not seem like much, but given the above,
this thing could really get out.
Kaz-IL, are you hearing them? Rick Dau-NE, are you?
