Sorry if the use of full day power at night wasn't obvious
from my
posting.
Can't help clear up the mystery of the pattern. My
information
has the test running at 10KW ND.

(New KAVT Fresno Test!)
Since it wasn't obvious, I checked to see what was unique about
the KAVT test and quickly saw it was running day power at night.
That made sense as a good DX test, but something else I came across
did not. KAVT is listed on Radio-Locator as:
* Antenna Mode
Non-Directional - 2 Patterns *
Right away I had to
ask, how can a non-directional antenna have two patterns. So I went to
the FCC database and found there was only a single tower, further adding
to my confusion, but got a slightly different listing:
* ND2 - Non-directional Antenna: Different constants day
and night *
Since I have no idea what that means, it is easier to
accept. It would be nice, though, to actually understand it.
Would anyone care to take on the task of trying to explain this to
me?
Thanks,
Curt
