On a simple map I roughly conculated that the distance is 800-1000
miles
away. However, if I am able to pick up that far away on a medium wave
am band, I should be able to pick up a lot of other stations by area.

I identified a number of distant mediumwave stations while listening in
san francisco. The list is he

KFI hasn't been 50 KW for years. They are 25 KW into an 1/8 wave
antenna, the equivalent of 10 KW.

You, like KFI, haven't been running on full steam for years either.

More like around 18 mon ths, not "years." December 19, 2004 was the date.

That is a bit simplistic. 25 kw is 25 kw, but the shorter radiator is less
efficient. But it is still a 25 kw station, until the new tower is put up at
the same location.
