Ok, I don't know anything about loops at all.. so this is a stupid question. If the loop is aimed at WBBM, wouldn't that make it directional and pointed away from KNOM? It receptional/recieving is then directional, how is KNOM reception possible if the loop is pointed in the opposite direction

Pete, The evening DJ on KNOM is female. I heard her last night. Your format matches too. Lots of pop, old R&B. I hear KNOM on the super radio often at night, while trying to listen to CtoC on KKOH. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager ___ IR

KNOM is a regular here on the coast. I hear it most nights. KICY is also common, but KNOM is generally under KKOH even on the Super Radio, when I try to listen to KKOH at night. Yes, they have lengthly weather forecasts as several Alaskans too. 73, Patrick ___

At 9:15pm PDT/0015 EDT I am picking up a 3rd station under KKOH & WBBM. I thought the music was originally Caribbean. Then followed a female announcer with what seemed like an extended weather report. Now it seems like soul music. I can't think of any hurricanes approaching any of our coast
