[BC] Faraday Fence - No Foreign Signals Allowed

[Paul Smith W4KNX]

Didnt CKLW reign in the signal to the south in order to protect Bonaire in
the Antilles?.  Bonaire is the monster signal on 800 and I think they used
to get interference from CKLW occasionally.  I used to hear CK here in
Florida, but havent heard them in years

That:s certainly the most prominent example.

The Big 8:s day pattern was designed to cover Detroit and Toledo,
with some deference being given to Cleveland and parts of Indiana,
but it also had to protect Montreal, about which I will explain later.

The Big 8:s night pattern removed the lobe towards Toledo, thereby
providing the required protection to Mexico, which is the actual I-A,
in Juarez. The power had to go somewhere, so this improved service to
Detroit and to Cleveland, with a good quality signal finally reaching
that city, and then on to Buffalo.
