KRPI's actual daytime antenna pattern can be viewed on the FCC website http://transition.fcc.gov/ftp/Bureaus/MB/Databases/AM_DA_patterns/127961-23102.pdf One of the two main lobes is at 90 degrees, so it should get out well to the east.
The local geo graphy skews the groundwave quite a bit, what with saltwater to the west and the C ascade mountains to the east, which explains the coverage shown on R adio L ocator.
