Is it true that lower freq daytime signals travel further than higher ones since stations on the lower end seem to come in stronger than ones at the top with the same power from the same location,(disrgarding signal direction),because the wave length is longer on the lower freqs? Also I thought

Bill, I have noticed that stations on lower frequencies seem to get out better during day time hours. When I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, KVIP on 550 kHz in Redding put in a good signal with 5 kw. Another example was KAFY 550 kHz in Bakersfield, with 1 kw heard often during the

Craig, A great example of that here in the NW, is the difference in signals from the Tri Cities WA at 200 miles (Kennewick, Pasco, Richland). The powerhouse is KONA 610 5 KW. They win hards down. I also get 960 5KW and 870 10 KW, but both are weaker than 610 by quite a bit. On the other hand 1560

Dennis, KVIP is on 540. I think they only run 1 KW but they do have one great signal in No Cal/So OR. In looking at the coverage of CBK 540, they have fantastic coverage. I hear them all day during the Winter here off the Eastern beverage, 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager

Pete, I think KCBS DA2 (U4) still sends most of their signal South. Here, it is weaker than KGO/KNBR/KFAX days. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com

KFYR, in 1981, claimed to have The largest daylight coverage area of any station in the United States on its QSL card. http://qsl.philcobill.com/mw/usa/KFYR_Bismarck_550a.jpg If that is true, then the coverage area of CBK 540 must be HUGE. I remember hearing them regularly in Spokane in the
