FCCInfo.Com lists WFAN New York with a CP to change power to 35 KW day and
night (with "Mode" ND2, non-directional 2 (whatever 2
means...non-directional different patterns day and night...hello???).

Anyway...anybody know why WFAN...with a great signal, best in New York, low
frequency 660 kHz, 50 KW ND, island tower site (multi with WCBS) with
salt-water path to surrounding land...would want to drop to 35 kHz.

Reduce electric bill???

What's the story? Temporary?

The best 50 kw heritage AM signals in New York are...in order...WFAN 660,
WABC 770, WCBS 880, and depending where you live, directional WOR 710.

And, again, depending where you live in relation to patterns...WBBR 1130,
whatever ESPN calls the former WHN WEDW 1050, poor WINS 1010, and signal
poverty-stricken WQEW 1560.

WTIC Hartford, 1080 50 KW is a curious case. Maybe its transmitter site
dates to a time when ground conductivity wasn't appreciated, but it is
located on a rocky mountain ridge, above and west of the flat, Connecticut
River mud flats and plains. Of course today, acquiring a site along the
river is probably impossible, but WTIC's signal suffers when compared to
similar-frequency NYC signals, 1050 or 1130. As for WINS, NYC 1010, nobody
else is that bad.

I never understood why some years ago in the big NYC frequency shuffle, why
Westinghouse didn't plunge into the frey for 1050 when WFAN departed it for
660. WEVD would have done just as well (or poorly) on 1010 as they did 1050,
and WINS would have done much better area-wide on 1050.
