Re: [IRCA] WNAX's daytime signal

[David Faulkner <drdsfaulkner@xxxxxxxxx>]

They were a regular in Lead, SD, in the northern Black Hills when I lived there; used a TRF w/a Radio West ferrite bar.  Listened to 'em once in awhile because they had great state news coverage.  I'd rate them about a 3 in 10.  Mixed w/Paducah in Ft. Madison, Iowa, about 40 miles south of Iowa City.  Heard 'em once during the day in Paducah null when I lived in Witt, Illinois SE of Springfield, but that was a cold, snowy winter day when I also had KFNW-1200 from West Fargo (had 10 kw ND at the time) in all day.  On a similar day when I lived in Nebraska I heard WLW at noon on my boom box.

PS. I also recall the Robertson twins telling me they used to hear WNAX mixing w/WFAA (now KLIF) on their family farm in western KS.

Thanks to good ground conductivity it is audible here in north central Oklahoma during the daytime at poor signal strength and with KLIF QRM.  Also heard is KWMT 540.  This is using barefoot ULR's.

  I'm kinda curious as to how much ground WNAX can cover in the daytime. From 
  roadtrips I've done in recent years, I've been able to note the following -- 


  Iowa City, IA 8/28/2002 Good signal, 3 on a scale of 1 (faint) to 5 
  (local) 

  Custer, SD 10/3/2002 Poor signal, rate it a 2 
  Otter Tail Lake, MN 8/2/2008 Very good signal, rate it a 3 1/2
  Grand Forks, ND 8/3/2008 Good signal, rate it a 3 
  Salina, KS 5/31/2010 Fair signal, rate it a 2 1/2 (through 
  lots of WIBW splash)
  Washington, MO 4/16/2011 Not there at all 
  Jefferson City, MO 4/17/2011 Still not there, until...
  Boonville, MO 4/17/2011 Faint, rate it a 1 

  So that should give you some idea of what their daytime coverage looks like. 
  Not quite as big as CBK or KFYR, but still pretty impressive.
