It would be interesting to find out the NIF value for WNVR 1030 Vernon 
Hills IL (40 miles--give or take--northwest of the Loop). WNVR, which 
broadcasts Polish-language talk, runs 120W-N from two short but 
heavily top-loaded towers that produce a figure-eight pattern oriented 
north-south with deep minima toward Boston. It's no surprise at all 
that WNVR would be completely inaudible at night within the Chicago 
city limits, but a good question is whether the night signal can be 
heard at all beyond the end of the station's own ground radials.
