AM Frequency of the Week - 870 kHz

That's a good question.  Looking at sunset times for the stations, they coincide except in March, when WWJC can operate with daytime power for 15 minutes longer.  But there's a big difference when it comes to post-sunset authority.  Unlike the single-digit power allowed for WAIT, WWJC can operate at least for a little while with over 200 watts:  http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/getimportletter_exh.cgi?import_letter_id=3648

I'm near where Stormy is, and I've heard WKAR here a couple of times in daytime when WAIT (850) has been off.  But WKAR is normally pretty much impossible for me because I'm only about two miles from the WAIT sticks (and directly in one of their two main lobes).

I've never heard WINU or KPRM here, however.

Nothing during the Day and WWL New Orleans at Night

First of all, welcome to the board.  Secondly where you are you should be able to null WWL at night and snag R. Reloj from Cuba underneath.  It's hard to miss with continuous Morse code and time pips in the background of what's basically a news format.  (Or at least the Castro Brothers version of news)

Yup.  I know where it is. Been there several times.  Nice place.  Used to have a customer there "back in the day".  By and large, I think it should be a pretty good spot for AM DX.  And back to my original point, I think you should be able to catch Cuba's R. Reloj relatively easily some night underneath WWL.

Update from the two previous posts, I could hear very weak 1 kW daytimer WFLO Farmville, VA, 111 miles away in  northern VA in the middle of the day.

I thought the entire Metro Atlanta was horrible for DX due to bad ground conductivity.

Perhaps I should've clarified my earlier post.  The Atlanta area indeed has horrid ground conductivity.  But at night, it's as good as any metro area for DX....perhaps even better, at least from the standpoint of one not having to go very far from transmitter sites to get out of interference and harmonic zones that would otherwise cause havoc for skywave signals. 

Woodstock, Georgia, about 30 miles north of town, is even better because it's an open....almost semi-rural...location with fewer noise sources than areas closer to the city center.

Hope that explains it.
