It also could have simply been propagation, many things can cause that as
well as "forgetting" to power down or changing the antenna pattern at night.
AM BCB propagation can change from night to night as do the ham bands which
is what can make BCB DX'ing interesting.

Last night I was tuned to WKBN 570 A.M. which at one time had a 50 plus
mile range when I was treated to a Spanish speaking station from who knows
where. At the time I was within ten miles of the WKBN transmitter. I wonder
what
they will foul up next? Bob AB8OP
That could have been a station that had failed to switch to its night-time
power and/or antenna pattern. I've been running into that problem more and
more
over that past ten years or so. All bets are off when stations don't play
by
the rules.
