Re: [IRCA] No chance for me, but did get KKZN under KFMB Re: WTTN 1580 WI Not on Night Power

WTTN is a daytimer here on western antennas and was very strong last eve. Nice catch on 760 for you. This is a good time of year for sunset skip. 15 minutes after you logged KKZN, I have them on my Perseus recording crushing a very nulled WJR.

>Hmm... looks like I still won't have a chance at that one, even with its SW lobe.  Co-channel KMIK in Tempe, AZ (300 miles east of me), goes directional with 6 towers at night and sends nearly all its IBOC-dehanced juicemy way.  They are one of the strongest stations I get here at night, sometimes rivaling the strength of some locals within 10 miles of me.  (Only the two nearby 50kW blasters (1170 daytime and 760 nighttime) and the 10kW (1130, 6 mi) are guaranteed to be stronger.  KMIK has out-slugged 1360 (5kW/1kW, 8 mi), 910 (5kW, 9 mi), 1170 night (2.9 kW, 9 mi) and 600 (5 kW, 8 mi), and has almost tied with 760 daytime (5 kW, 7 mi).)

KKZN aired a traffic & weather report while KFMB had a talk show running (also KFMB is at a right angle from me vs. Denver, and hadn't stepped up to 50 kW for sunset yet) making it easier for me to hear the Denver area station.
