I don't know about the other two, but 0.640-WNNZ has been booming
in both in Boston and up here on the North Shore for the past
several nights——I strongly suspect a case of day power/pattern 
cheating, rather than some propagational anomaly.  P=)

On a related note, Hope Valley RI's 1.180-WCNX was noted left on
all night last week (still is?) w/CNN-H News.

Also, last Friday night 1.570-WNSH appeared to be on
an elevated night (but definitely sub-day) power, but then when I 
checked at 7am——well into daytime——not only were they still at a 
reduced power, but they kept clicking off (down?), then quickly
recovered to the reduced power.  When I checked again after
getting off the train (in Beverly) just after 9am, they were
off-air, then clicked back on just before 10am.  While this time
seemed like a legitimate case of "technical difficulties", there
*has* been a few times in the past couple of months (including
the previous Friday night) when 'NSH *was* on full daytime
power/pattern all night.  (Tisk-tisk Mr. Willcox! P=)
