Growing up, by the WNY / NWPA border, during the daytime, Buffalo's WGR 550AM, at 5kW, came-in about the same as 50kW 1520's WWKB, (Ex-WKBW.). Being heard in CT, that must be some great GND conductivity, due to the rains, then cold. Wait until a Zero degree day. I'll bet then, you could pull-in that near Toronto, ON station on 530kHz at 1kW. I, was able to hear that almost everywhere I could hear WGR. Oh yeah, unlike WWKB, which suffers severe fading and phasing at the NY / PA border, at night, 550 WGR is pretty listenable 24/7.
