You are right about the old WCKY! I used to listen to it as a kid even. Every
night the CBS radio mystery theater was on 1530:-)

I wonder if the nighttime pattern has changed? I have the same trouble you do
here in Bowling Green. Must not be a lot of southwest radiation?


Originally WCKY, Covington, KY, this station protects the co-channel Class A in
Sacramento, CA, using four towers.

Therefore, nearly no radiation SW, W or NW.

WCKY had the frequency all to itself for quite a while.

The Sacramento station, KFBK, was a conversion from, then, a Class IV to a
Class I-B.
