WGAB Newburgh, Indiana on 1180Khz is licensed for 670 Watts Day and 1 Watt at night.
WGEN Geneseo, IL on 1500Khz is 250 Watts Day and 1 Watt at night 1 watt for WGAB actually sufficently covers their COL and ALMOST does the job for WGEN! Some stations, espoecially those with solid state transmitters DO drop to their night pwoer, as it's less stress and work for the transmitter to drop to 5 watts then turn it off and on every day for years. Electricity may run a few bucks higher, but it's less wear, tearand repair on the transmitter overall to let it run continuously.
