WHKY 1290 Hickory, NC

[romer979fm]

heard clearly this morning along Music Row in Nashville:
clear and solid legal ID at 5:00am central while negotiating the 'roundabout'

Over the last few months this stations seems to stay on daytime power quite often.  I've picked up them up in east tn. several times. sounds like a local.

I picked it up at Vanderbilt too. They constantly forget to switch off their daytime power, and their signal booms through most of the Southeast on that frequency because of it. I wonder why nobody has contacted the FCC on them.

Loud and clear again the last 2 nights in e. tn.

Because the FCC has too much on their plate, Satellite, Internet, Cell Phones, HDTV, etc.  AM Radio is at the bottom of their list. They don't have near the staff they once did. Our federal money is going to fight a war, and the war is more important to the feds than AM Radio. I heard them one night last week.

It's rather surprising WHKY is staying on daytime parameters.  The station is owned by a family with a engineering background.

clear and strong again this morning at 5am in Nashville

If it matters, they also have a sister station:WHKY-TV Channel 14.

I have also observed their killer signal the last few nights in Middle Tennessee.

Along the lines of what was mentioned earlier about the owners, I found it interesting that they have a full section on their website explaining "reception problems" at night, and have a month-by-month schedule of when they are supposed to switch to their nighttime pattern.
