Games moving to KEYN FM

[WstateU]

My house sits right on the KNSS night time red line in Marion county. I haven't been able to get a signal after sundown, ever. KEYN will be welcome by me. It will be nice to listen away from my laptop.

I didn't see you at the reunion. If I had known you were filming, I would have put on pants.

You beat me to the punch, MVJ. Some AM stations like WOAI in San Antonio are designated Clear Channel stations and are allowed to broadcast at full power at night, whereas other AM stations have to power down at sunset. The radio guys I used to work with said this was because of additional communications needed for aviation after sunset, but it could be for other reasons. What I do know is that additional distance is able to be gained by AM because something about the wavelength allows it to bounce off the troposphere and gain additional coverage - WOAI's nighttime coverage used to extend to just outside Seattle because of this.

Ionosphere. AM transmits by ground during the day and at night, a change in the ionosphere transmits over the air. At night the signal will bounce along the earth and ionosphere. With the right soil composition and a good clear night, a clear channel station in the US could be picked up in Newfoundland, even further. Non technical terms, but close to how it works. If Wichita had an AM blowtorch with 50,000 watts at night, that is where you would want Shocker broadcasts.

Crap. WstateU posted a picture of how it works. Probably better than my explanation. Anyway, some AM stations have to power down at night for the clear channel station. Originally, clear channel stations were there to broadcast information across country. Theoretically, people in Kansas would get breaking news from New York, so on and so forth. There are far more clear channel stations on the East coast than the Midwest or West. Antiquated system, but some AM stations have priority and others have to power down so they don't interfere with the clear channel.

I looked up all of the AM stations in the US with the 1330 frequency and there are a bunch, none of which are bowtorches. There is one in Missouri and several in Texas. My guess is that KNSS has to power down at night so it doesn't walk over other stations.

Coverage patterns superimposed to scale. KNSS Nighttime = bolder lines

Wichita looks slightly larger than Enid and Topeka in that picture. Tulsa and JoCo looks huge. Whadupwitdat

The base reflectivity gamma waves cause perceptual distortion.

WHY WOULD YOU EVER GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT PANTS

Have seen this posted before, but it simply is not accurate.

No it's pretty accurate except the big ass black hole over Wichita is over downtown instead of West Wichita.

Wichita is wedged between 2 major 50k watt stations: KOA Denver & KMOX St Louis. Most nights you can listen to Rockies/Broncos & Cardinals.

Wondering what the deal is with shockerradio.com - The site is gone
