Doh! This had never occurred to me for some reason. At 270 watts, in a
city as RF noisy as Washington D.C., I can't imagine that they'd have a
huge listenship at night in the first place - so the financials probably
don't make sense to maintain the C-Quam at night.

A 5 watt nighttime station on AM 74 in Cambridge, Mass. does cover Boston
and Cambridge quite well..

Why is Washington DC so RF noisy?

markets that *barely* cover their C.O. at night. And turning down all
those pip-squeak stations at night *just* might lower the noise floor
for everybody else...

Correct. It might. However these stations are under the impression that
they have listeners even during the daytime - period.

WTAO, then WCAS, then WJIB has always had an amazing signal for its
power. I worked for WACE, Chicopee (Springfield, MA) on 730 with 5kw
days. If we went off the air, WTAO would bomb in (over 100 miles)
daytime.

The FM was WXHR which became WJIB(FM), then something else, then
something else and is now WTKK. I worked there when it was WJIB. I
recorded the bells. I'd love to get the master.

Have you ever met the owner Bob Bittner? He also owns WJTO in Bath,
Maine. I think that's one is either oan AM 73 or AM 75...

Both of them used to program instrumental music, but in the past few
months he has tweaked it into a mix of standards, instrumentals and
some very very limited soft pop. Terrific mix.

Also is the host of the two-hour long monthly "Let's Talk About Radio"
show on Sundays. Used to be a weekly hour long show.
