Yeah, CFRB does well to the south all right. Gets in here most days mixing w/WIOI, & is often on top of them in the winter. WINS blows pretty strongly this way at night, so it doesn't surprise me they shut down KLRA. But I can't even log WMOX, which I used to hear frequently in Michigan in CFRB's null as sunset. In fact, except for WELO, WCPC, WSJC, and a couple others, I can't log much from Mississippi at all.

CFRB and WINS entered into a mutual interference agreement in the mid-90s that actually allowed both stations to loosen their patterns a bit. Both built new directional arrays at their existing sites, and each agreed to accept a little more incoming interference from the other. (WINS also bought and shut down the 1010 in Little Rock, and paid for WRNJ 1000 Hackettstown NJ to move to 1510, to clear the way for its signal expansion.) CFRB is located in Mississauga, west of Toronto along the Lake Ontario shore, with a pattern that aims mostly east over the city, though with enough daytime spill to the south that it's the third best daytime Toronto AM for me here in Rochester. (CHWO 740 and CJBC 860 are the best, of course.) It's actually a very good signal over most of metro Toronto, even if Saul can null it! WINS aims mostly east from its site in Lyndhurst, NJ, due west of midtown Manhattan and just south of Giants Stadium. Even by day, it has a deep null toward CFRB; I drive through it on my way from my cousin's house in Suffern NY (30 miles NW of NYC) to Manhattan all the time. s _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
