I fount the WCPT application at CDBS. (I believe that the calls were WAIT when it was filed in 2005.) It shows Willow Springs to be well within the 15.5 mV/m NIF. That means that either my 20-mile estimate for the distance between the site and Willow Springs was too great or the soil conductivity is even better than I imagined it could be. I also looked up Elmhust in Google Maps and it seems likely that this new night site is a good deal further south than the old WAIT 820 site. If that's so, coverage of Chicago from this site will be better than from the old site. The somewhat higher night power (1.5 kW vs 1 kW) should help a bit. Still, it doesn't appear as though much of the City of Chicago will receive an officially interference-free night signal.
