KGO does not cover the west. It covers up and down the Pacific coast, as

radiates very little power to the NNE, NE, E, SE, SSE directions.

You can hear it from the Rockies to the Pacific, i.e. the West.

No, you can't. It is highly directional at night, with less than 2 kw headed
east to protect WGY and other stations on 810. It barely has a signal in
Fresno or Sacramento at night; there is hardly any power from 20 degrees to
about 130 degrees. The signal is pretty much totally nulled towards any
directions to the east at night.

Further, there are stations in Winnipeg, Tampico (50 kw) and Kansas City and
even Denver that have night operations that would interfere with any usable
KGO reception in the "Rockies."

d'Eduardo,

KGO-AM 810 kHz - Sounds OK up here in the California
Foothills wtih the Right Radio and AM/MW Antenna.

I have received it well in Phoenix, Sacramento and Las Vegas and all
points in between. As someone who grew up in the west I know well the
flamethrowers as they were all we had. KGO, KNBR, KSL and KFBK are
the ones I remember. KFI not so much, but they were pretty close to
KTAR, on E. Thomas Road a few miles west of my 'rentals QTH.
