because WABC came over the top of the air monitor in late afternoon.
Yes, THAT WEW.

So the WABC stories are true.


I"m sorry...you didn't know that? Hmmmm....well....that IS a revealing
confession.


I did not know WEW was that bad, but it was mentioned many times in DX
publications.

Here is an anecdote from a friend....

"When I was asst CE of 560 KLVI Beaumont, TX (5KW ND day, DA-N), we would
get calls from WQAM at night if we hadn't switched....the hot line would
ring, the jock would answer (we were Top40 back then) and the voice on the
other end asked: "IS this LVI?? Im hearing YOU in my headphones!!!" The jock
would dial up channel 1 on the remote control, press LOWER, and the voice
would say "THANK YOU!!!" and hang up! Not bad for a 66degree tall tower
either! but the tower site for KLVI is WET most of the time....it was always
wet/muddy between towers 2 and 3 even during a drought (must have been an
underground spring popping thru there!"

This is a common problem with low power stations being hit by much higher
power ones. In this case, KLVI was 5 kw on-d and WQAM was 1 kw non d with a
footwet tower.
