[BC] The Daytime Answer...

[Steve]

So Michael...

Based on this list, (WLQV) is the daytime winner based on Mv/m. That was
WJBK. The story on constructing that site is something else. They had to
detune I don't know how many electrical towers, a whisky tower, a school
roof. When they first fired up for tests all the caps blew on the electrical
towers. Start over with bigger caps. I remember the engineers telling me how
tough it was keeping that pattern right. Now, when I was there in '69 it
used 12 towers with 50Kw Day and 9 towers for the 5Kw night pattern. Storer
was a crazy man. We were GREAT in the St. Lawrence Seaway!
Thanks for a great trivia question. Was fun. Will look for the Night
results.

    Boy did this stir up a hornets nest of interesting comments....
After fighting with the CDBS (as Peter has alluded to) here's the
answer.  (Please pardon the formatting)

Call    Freq.    COL            TPO    Tws.        Max mv/m @ 1km and
bearing.
WFLF 540    Pine Hills FL    50        4            4861 @ 75 degrees
KFBK 1530   Sacramento    50        2*           5360 @ 345
WALE 990    Greenville RI    50        6            5435 @ 140
KFAN 1130    St. Paul MN    50        6            6348 @ 15
KMJ    580    Fresno            50        4            6494 @ 270
WWJ   950    Detroit            50        5            6653 @ 355
KTLK   1150   Los Angles    50        5            7166 @ 245
WLQV  1500  Detroit            50       9            7382 @ 10

    * Note: KFBK uses 180 degree Franklin towers (I think).  I'm certain
that Peter can confirm/deny this.

If there are others, I'd love to hear about them.  Note that this is
DAYTIME patterns only...I get the Night pattern summary done tomorrow.
