On a trip by plane to the Oshkosh Airshow in 2005 I did a scan on the SF stations in a small town stopover in eastern Montana and got KNBR with mixed results but no KGO which maybe verified my assumption that KGO is pushing mostly north- south as they claim ( mentioned on the air by Bill Wartenberg that they go all the way from Baja to Alaska ) and very little to the east and that would be logical since the biggest population of listeners is less than 200 miles from the coast.KNBR probably has a wider or more circular coverage area and is going more to the east at night. CBU Vancouver's TX site is located on mudflats as far west as land will allow south of the city near the international airport and has the strongest footprint here on Vancouver Island. As it is weaker to the hilly east and into the Fraser Valley it is coverage augmented by FM LPRTs in some towns east of Vancouver.
