Hi Patrick, Or something else (I'm not making any accusations here.) For exampel, I remember one summer day in 1968 when 500- or 1,000-watt KLAN-1320 in Lemoore, CA sounded every bit as strong as 5,000-watt KCOK in Tulare from my Bakersfield CA QTH. Normally they had 25 percent of KCOK's signal strength. I presumed that they were unintentionally exceeding their authorized power. I never heard them that strong again, unfortunately; I enjoyed the station, so it was a pleasure hearing such a good signal that day. I was hoping they'd had a power increase, but it only occurred for a few hours. -- Rick

Wish I'd been able to look when you sent your note.<< I checked this morning and KZIZ is back in the mud. I wonder if it was just a freak in conditions? They were a powerhouse totally dominating 1560 like they were 50 miles away or less. This morning, I noticed the usual Burbank WA off the Eastern Beverage and a weak KZIZ off the NE EWE.
