Patrick,

You're right, so WIBC would still be a toughie for you from Seaside.

I really wonder why that lobe is there. It appears to be intentional
because a properly engineered array of six tower with major axis
northwest by southeast should not have that sort of assymetrical
lobe.

For fun, I'm gonna try to find out why.

I have eight stations logged on 1070 from Indianapolis, WIBC included.
Only five from here.

CHOK, Sarnia, is included. So is KNX & CBA (all from Indianapolis).
