Might open up some interesting DXing in its absence.

2352z I am receiving Spanish music from WNNW-AM in Lawrence, MA
Spanish station disappeared about 0000z. Two stations on top of each other until 0025z
0025z OM talking about Gospel, it seems to be WTMR Camden, NJ

I noticed they weren't there the past couple of nights. As the NYC station on 1130 has been clobbered by the SS station outside of Atlanta in the same period, I put it down to propagation.
Thanks for the heads up. With all the RF on HF in my neighborhood in the past few months I've been doing most of my dx'ing on MW. Time to roll out the old Philco, hook it to a longwire, open the windows and let the neighbors hear what real high-fidelity radio sounds like at 2 a.m.
Hmmm..... I might wait until the wife is out of town before I do that last part.

0804z CJAD-AM Montreal in English - Hockey scores, Canadian Relay for Life Ad, into "Coast to Coast"
0852z WLAD Danbury, Connecticut Station ID at this time (Only 50 miles away but I never pick this station up, CKLW overwhelms it at night and the sun knocks it down during the day)
-
CKLW back on AM 800 this morning but signal sounds weaker than usual... reduced power perhaps?
-
I'm not picking them up tonight, that's unusual. Maybe reduced power or non-directional.
-
CKLW on the air early this morning with Coast to Coast but sounds weak, other stations mixing in background. QTH hr only about 30 mi from their TX, doesn't sound like a 50 kw sig.
-
If I turned the radio to the north I had fair copy of them running "Coast to Coast AM" on 800 khz. NW or SE, there was another station running a talk show along the lines of "Coast to Coast", but it had a fairly narrow lobe my way and rapid fading, wherever it was coming from.
