My overly elaborate antenna farm was constructed a bit at a time
entirely to hear Imus from this or that distant affiliate (5:30-10am)
so is MW oriented, and concerned with daytime performance mostly,
though getting rid of Cubans and a couple ``locals'' on 660
conveniently in opposite directions N and S competing with WFAN
in NYC was a nighttime problem too.

At night, there's no real question of MW performance except for
nulling stuff away, which can be very difficult except at the low
end of the band because direction of arrival varies by more than
the size of a deep null (nulls are bigger at the low end).

So anyway it has a couple ALA 1530's in the array, which null N-S
unless the wind has blown them around. They're not as sensitive
as the Dymek McKay DA100E whips but do have that convenient null
built in, and at night the sensitivity simply doesn't matter much.
All signals are strong then.
