*30 years ago Bonaire also had an AM broadcast on 800KHz. It came in
quite well at night all over the East coast.

There was something else nearby on that freq, I cannot remember what.- Hide quoted text -

TWR had an enormous 500KW AM station on Bonaire until a few
years ago. A real gorilla of a transmitter they used to have! Was
audible very often up here, in NYC. The best times were usually
between 1 to about 5 AM. Cannot hear it any longer since the power was
cut to normal levels.

It was the BIG 8 CKLW in Windsor, Ontario. I think they ran more than
50 KW not being regulated by the US. All you could hear in Detroit on
800kHz. In fact, all you had to do was turn up the gain on any amp or
PA system and you would hear them.

XEROK is 100 KW (theoretically) from. C. Juarez. on 800 kHz. Used to be
able tohear them in Phoenix in the daytime. Not so much anymore.
