Anyone who is familiar with the San Francisco Bay Area has noted KGO's three AM broadcast band transmitting antennas located *IN* the water of the East Bay. From KGO's history page:
You would think this would make KGO a superstation, however, my experience is that KGO's signal is nothing special. I used to listen to KGO and KFI (Los Angeles) when I lived in Seattle, and KFI, despite being 500 miles farther away was just as strong as KGO and often stronger. Also, KFI can be heard at noon in the SF Bay Area on ground wave, but the same cannot be said of KGO in the LA area. I would concede that KGO seems to have the superior ground wave signal across the bay on the peninsula vs other SF bay area stations.
