Whoa! Reality check time. Your heading to WEEN would be about 211
degrees, and to WHBK in Marshall, about 189 degrees. How sharp a
"beam" do you think you have? A loop-type antenna has a very broad
pattern, and you really can't use it to differentiate between
stations only 22 degrees apart (unless you use the null of the
antenna, and a carefully-calibrated setup, well away from any metal
objects, etc.). Since WHBK runs 5000 W versus WEEN's 860 W (assuming
day power in both cases), I'd say it's more likely that you heard
WHBK.
