"At night, WPTF becomes directional to protect other stations on the same frequency, utilizing two smaller towers."

One of those is CFTR, which also operates on 680. I remember getting WPTF here a few times when TR was briefly off the air for a host of reasons. Came in pretty well those nights, as I recall.
