I have the same problem with receiving WHAM-1180 Rochester, NY in the
daytime. I can get all the NYC and Boston 50-KW stations in the day but
not WHAM, which is about the same distance from me as NYC. I think it
may have something to do with their transmitter location and ground
(soil) conditions. Also the Hudson river valley may enhance daytime MW
propagation to my area from NYC.

WHAM's relatively high dial position doesn't help. A given amount of
power covers better at the bottom of the dial (daytime) than it does at
the top - by an amazing amount.

True but I can get 1130-NYC and 1030-Boston with relatively strong
daytime signals. My antenna is not long enough to be directional for MW.
