WOW!!! Their 41W was just in there on the truck stereo, and on the WOG on the Xiegu SDR at S10/9. I like that they do tunage, mainly classic pop from 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, Y2K's, and even heard that newer 'I Made You Look' tune, whomever sings that. An ESPN Sports station tries to bowl them over, but WHLN stays in there. Sound quality isn't that wide, and I had 'em on the WOG and the Xiegu SDR rig. Maybe peaking at 70% MOD and not a wide bandwidth. Still, I welcome them jammin' out.

“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”

There's one in the 30 watt range west of there in Horse Cave, KY. that gets out too. Both of those towns are along the area in the Cumberland Mts. where the bedrock shifts from sandstone in the east to limestone in the west. It seems to make a difference in MW propagation in the region.

Horse Cave is just south of Mammoth Cave on I-65. Lot's of distillery's in that area but you can't buy the products in the area. They're all dry counties.

Interesting frequency 1410... a regional channel with no really dominant station... never know what you may hear on any given night.
