They're a regular here, day and night in the winter months. Not so much after the spring and summer storm season sets in. From the night time signal I get from them, I would have guessed they were running more power than 1kW at night, but there isn't much competition up there.

Pretty much dominating the frequency in here this morning about an hour before sunrise, occasionally in and out with a foreign language format station.

I figured I would try them this morning and sure enough with good reception here.  Underneath WBCN was a faint WWRU from Jersey City, NJ in Korean.  Pretty amazing.
