Yeah. But nowadays you can hear WLS almost all the way to O'Hare Airport.

I hear them good all day long here, and I'm about 100 miles from Chicago as the
crow flies. They come in good at night too.

Years back, they used to have a MUCH more powerful signal. It was pretty
disappointing the few times I visited a friend near O'Hare and found
WLS was weaker than stations from Milwaukee, Rockford, St. Louis and
South Bend... during the *daytime*. At night, most stations on the dial
were stronger.

This is, what, 30 miles from their antenna?

Then I visit my nephew out southwest of the city, maybe ten miles from
WLS' antenna, and I can listen to 880 at night about half the time.
Ten miles from fifty kilowatts, one shouldn't be able to listen to a
station 10 KHz away without a very, very good radio, at least one
better than my nephew's $6 Radio Shack AM portable.

those expert inspectors noticed, eh?

No wonder twelve years of inspections found NOTHING.
