3 mV/m and up is a very strong interference free signal on AM. For KNX I
get -55 dBm or +20 over S9 on the signal strength meter as a reference.
KVTA which meets your 10 mV/m criteria is almost -45 dBm and not quite
+30 over S9. My reception is no different between the two stations. You
getting the drift of this?

He doesn't care... or perhaps more properly, the suits don't care. He/they
don't care that people on the north Oregon coast preferred to listen to KWJJ
in Portland rather than any of the local stations up until the point were
KWJJ changed formats and calls. They don't care that there are parts of
Portland, OR where local FM is difficult to impossible to get WITHIN THE
CITY LIMITS, so most of the folks in those areas would listen to a Salem
station on 105.3 (the station recently relocated to a hilltop between the
cities for even better coverage of both).

He/they don't give a rats arse that the two most listened to nighttime
signals in the Northwest are KSL and KGO. (KBOI is right up there, too, and
I personally liked to hear KTWO. Also WWL was good and solid.

But those are DX stations, so they really don't matter... the others are
rimshots that a lot of people listen or listened to, despite whatever
Arbitron might say.

The former KRDR (now KMUZ IIRC) in Gresham was a popular country station in
the Portland market, but the city was outside their city grade contours, so
I guess that all those ads for Portland businesses weren't really there..

BAD - I agree DE and the Suits DON'T CARE
For Them It's Sellable Numbers and Station Revenue.

Whatever happen to the concept of Local Business
asking Customers what is their favorite Radio Station(s)
and selecting who they Advertized with from that List ?

I used to get KTWO-AM 1030 kHz here fairly well
at Night but now it is block by a Spanish Language
Religious Radio Station on the same Frequency.
KTWO = http://www.k2radio.com/main.html

The only Spanish Language Religious Radio Station
on 1030 kHz is KJDJ in San Luis Obispo, CA

-BUT- It is only running 700 Watts at night ? ? ?
