CFCO is another 5 tower array, most signal to the south is reduced, in the daylight and large lobes north, east and west.
At night there is a large lobe north and a small one south.

I wonder if the CRTC had CKLW tighten its northwest null to allow for the construction of CBQ in Thunder Bay.Ben Zonia wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 1:52 amCKLW hasn't had a very good signal to the Northwest in 40 years or more. There are different theories as to why that is. Some say the the pattern was officially changed at some point from what it was in the late 1940s, when they went from 5 kW nondirectional to 50 kW directional. They were 5 kW nondirectional on 1030 before they moved to 800 in a BIG NARBA reallocation in 1941. Most stations just moved 0 kHz to 30 kHz higher. Some speculate that the pattern was let out during the Big 8 years, and it wasn't ever supposed to be that good of a signal to the Northwest. The overlap with WSGW is HUQE, and always has been. The CKLW nulls were designed to be the close equivalent of the old 5 kW nondirectional levels.
