I didn't try it the other way around, but good question. WFTL - 850 am Miami - I believe it's a medium power station possibly you may be able to get some waves at night. The Ken Held DooWop show is on from 6-9 PM Sunday nights. If you can't get the station, perhaps there are some affiliate stations that carry the show?? I will try to find out
