Remember that WINS and CFRB reengineered their patterns about a decade
ago to allow both stations to broaden their coverage, creating a zone
of mutual interference in much of upstate NY and New England which had
not existed before.  Also remember that CFRB wasn't on 1010 in 1941:
it was on 860, and 1010 belonged to CBY (previously a class-III-ish
facility on 1420).  I suspect the old NRC Night Pattern Book would
show what the old CFRB and WINS patterns looked like.

CKLW had been on 1030.
