Any signal on the high end of the band and in areas of
very poor conductivity with mountains is not going to
be good. When I head from Hendersonville, NC to Black
Mountain, it takes not very long for me to hear other
stations in the mix. And it's got mountains, and the
conductivity there is poor. WTZQ, however appears to
never cut to their alloted night power. I've been in
Hendersonville and at that time and later never heard
them do it.... but I think everyone within 200 miles
runs the same power all the time except for Atlanta.
