Thanks Paul & Kaz. I set the timer to run the rest of the night, so maybe I got an ID, but the signal is very elusive for running 5 KW. When I hear it, it sure does not sound like 5 KW as it should be more common with WHKW. WHKW is 50 KW, but sends little signal West. But it sounds like KDXR 1480 Gooding ID. They are on 5 KW, then they are not, then they are. Sitting on 1220, I am bound to get that ID in time. However, I fight the off and on over mod from KVAS 1230 Astoria 7 miles away. Their mod varies from day to day. At times the loud C&W splatters all over the place. For some reason, since I left the Eastern Bev unterminated I have a lobe to them on 1230. Strange. I also extended the beverage another 20-30 feet to the last fence post. But overall the beverage does work better and it is more directional to the East on frequencies overall. I guess you win and lose a bit here and there. But I will keep sitting on 1220.
