Please note that this nighttime map only shows the predicted "groundwave" coverage of this radio station. At night, changes in the Earth's ionosphere can greatly extend the coverage of AM radio stations. This is known as skywave propogation which is not shown on this map. So at night, you may be able to hear this station from a distance much farther than indicated above.
