Dennis, Back in the early 80s, the band was a lot different too. 1010 was clearer as I heard and QSL'd the old KLRA-AR. 1040 China used to be a HUGE powerhouse. Some estimated their ERP towards Japan, as they ran FS in JJ often, as 8,000 KW. Probably some highly directional pattern. Anyway, one morning in the Wnter in the early 70s, I was talking to Dave Williams on the phone as 1040 was very strong. Anyway, a bit later he had to go to work. I did not have any college classes that morning, so I stayed around. Well, I lost the audio after 1845 UTC, and the carrier at nearly 2000! In those days nothing was on 1040 in the West. I think WHO was the closest station other than Hawaii. Ah the good ol' days.
