AT 05:00 CST can easily detect the het from WCKL under WIND. The loop bearing for both is almost identical, perhaps a few degrees more northerly for WCKL so no chance for nulling WIND. I am located about 40 miles west southwest of WIND's xmtr site at the south end of Lake Michigan. Tom Jasinski

Unfortunately, their pattern is aimed NW, so it mostly hits a few of us Canucks, but it's fairly broad and does throw some signal out west. The het does show on the SDR in SE New England. No audio ever noted, however. WGAN is dominant with WHYN under than. As expected... Craig Healy
