Classic 1220 CFAJ returns to 10,000 watts

For some time, CFAJ has been running in low power mode, but the transmitter site has been attended to and returns to 10,000 watts (very directional at night)

My Hamilton daytime reception is solid and reliable at home, and fair with some minor electric interference at a few intersections driving.

My nighttime reception is moderate from home (mostly using my Sangean AM/FM receiver) and poor at night in the car.

CFAJ's signal is directional to protect WHKW 1220 in Cleveland Ohio and 1230 in Buffalo NY.

I find CFAJ in Toronto and going eastbound and northbound, reception is decent.

Last night  while out running errands, i tuned in 1220. Cleveland was dominant but you could clearly identify CFAJ in the background. Also heard CJBQ Belleville quite well. No sign of CKLW.

The daytime signal hasn't changed at all for me here in Toronto. It's still much lower than the former CHSC. This morning around 10am, I could hear Cleveland beating underneath it. It's still stronger than neighbouring WECK, but that station doesn't seem to suffer daytime co-channel interference.

In midtown Toronto signal worse than ever.   Not listenable.  As with others, signal covered by Cleveland OH.
