Most of the old (what used to be actually clear) clear-channel stations
are omni-directional.

A while back, I looked up one in Dallas and it has a humongous array for
daytime and an entirely different almost-as-large array at night. The pattern
must look strange on each, and each are sort of directional.

I think I'll go back and try to find in my files the call sign of that station
and then recheck on it.

Maybe WBAP-820? They had always been one of the bigger clear channels
out of Dallas. MK

No, WBAP is non-directional.

My guess is he was looking at KFXR-1190. (long known as KLIF) IIRC
they use *twelve* towers at night - they have fewer towers for daytime,
at a different location.
