[IRCA] Washington High Band station question

[neilkaz <neilkaz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm wondering if anyone knows whether KRPI 1550 and KVAN 1560 are currently using proper night power and patterns? Inspite of my new antenna system with about a 75 deg beamwidth aimed about just right at 285 deg, I really shouldn't be getting either one of these if running night power and pattern.

Perhaps KRPI is just dropping power to 10 kW and not switching to a pattern that puts very little signal back to the east? They've been commonly noted on 1550 here late into the night. Whereas previously they were only a sunset catch and their day pattern is quite favorable.

Now, the past couple nights I am getting KVAN 1560 as well. A nice multi station ID was noted in EE last evening at 6 pm PST and "La Estacion de la Familia" slogan and back into SS rlg/family oriented stuff. I can't believe this was running 700 watt night power?

Anyone know for sure?  73 and thx..KAZ.. Barrington IL Perseus and 2 element endfire Double KAZ array at 285 deg
