KATQ Plentywood MT 1070

It was a real surprise when KATQ surfaced above KNX Sept 27, Today General Manager Bonnie Simon verified my reception. I think this is a really nice one.
On their their home page you can read: KATQ am reduces its power from 5000W to 50W at sunset. KATQ’s signal remains omni-directional at night and reaches approximately 30 miles in all directions. . They must have worked with full power when I logged them.
