Country music & ID at 0115 UTC with a pretty decent signal. Supposed to be 23W and pattern to the SW (nearly nothing to the N) at night, but I guess not tonight. Even the day pattern is supposed to be SW with very little to the N.

Looked up the station at the FCC's site. The license shows the above, but they have a CP for 650W at night and sending it up here. Guess they're on their new power now.

I've heard them on and off for years. I've always suspected they're running a little more power than listed.

There's a station in Horse Cave, KY that runs a mighty 60 watts at night. They're clear as a bell on the external antenna here through the the winter. They're on 1160 if my memory isn't malfunctioning from leftovers.
