KFI in Los Angeles can be heard during daylight in
the SF bay area near the coast.  KOMO in Seattle is
stronger in the SF bay area than KGO is in the Seattle
area.  Also, KFI comes into Seattle about as well as
KGO.  KGO's apparent dream location, in my experience,
has not translated into demonstrably better performance
than other AM stations.
