Rick,
Agreed! My dx from NW Iowa always found KFYR with a good daytime
signal, year round. Concordia KS would be under them but KFYR was a
solid signal. From California I was always impressed with being able to
hear KUZZ-800-Bakersfield with 250 D daytime. This from West Sacramento
CA. KFI 640 LA would have a weak signal audible daytimes also. Chicago
stations-WMAQ-670, WGN-720 & WBBM-780 were also heard all day long.
Nearly 500 miles for their 50 kw. The latter was easily heard under
WJAG Norfolk NE.

And 580 was ruled by those same two stations here, too, Randy. KXNO was on top on 1460, as I suspected they would be. I tried (0005 ELT) and tried (0033) and tried (0105) for WHP, but they just didn't pop through. And I'm with Bill atiDvorak on this one, either cx to the east last night were a dud, or WHP had to have been on night pattern. Surely 5 kw on ND from central Pennsylvania would've made it this far.
And ESPECIALLY at such a low dial position! I got into it last night with someone on Star Chat who kept INSISTING that KFBK-1530 in Sacramento has the strongest groundwave signal of any station in the US! Used something about 5632.70 mV/m at 1 km or somesuch as his rationale. Puh-LEEEEZE. KFBK doesn't get out much east of Reno/Carson City in the daytime, and that doesn't even BEGIN to touch the 450+ mile radius of KFYR-550 in Bismarck, ND, which wins that honor going away.

Neither WHP nor WTKT made it here between 0000 & 0116 Eastern (listening live--I'm not equipped for overnight recording). 580 was dominated by WIBW Topeka and XEMU "La Rancherita del Aire". 1460 was pretty much a jumble.
