The trouble with this concept is that there are hundreds of stations on
any given frequency in locations all over north america, so in general
even if you had propagation from the east coast to W6, the east coast
stations would be lost in the massive QRM of all the other stations
on the west coast. I remember I once heard WCBS on a beverage antenna
going coast to coast, but that probably had a lot more to do with other
stations on 860 kHz being in fades at the time than WCBS suddenly
getting very strong due to propagation.

Aside from their tens of thousands of watts and incredible antennas, are AM
broadcast stations, operating at the top end of their band, a good
indicator of nighttime 160M conditions?
Seems like there should be some correlation between, say, a station
operating near 1700 KHz and what we might expect around 1800+ KHz.
(Discounting, as mentioned, power and antenna.)
