Re: [IRCA] KCKQ
I started to scribble down a reception report of the oldies station then KERN started coming on strong. Reno is ever so slightly NNW of me so I have aim right through KERN and hope for some significant downfades. Don't discount what can be done even with 190 watts. A few years back I logged KORE 1050 on low night power. Your SS in 1180 could be Mexico City, I've logged them here in L A county before. No sign of KOFI tonight (a little coffee might hit the spot) I last heard the oldies around 7:30 pm PDT. I wonder if that is their official sunset time? Ms

The night pattern with 190 watts shouldn't make it here. It's supposed to protect KERN and KOFI. I suspect it's on day power of 4 kW and nondirectional, which it is during the day.
