WABC is 50 kW station, WOR is down in the mud, low power, smaller range.

No. WOR is also a 50,000 watt station, and is at a lower frequency so its signal travels just fine. I don't know where you live, but in eastern CT, WOR comes in as well or better than WABC. Both stations are great legacy stations dating back to the early 20s.

I get WABC in north central WV at night, I like John Batchelor.

Right. But WABC is a 50,000 watt “Clear Channel” station, WOR is not.

It must be the antenna pattern then, going west of NYC signal of WOR starts disappearing half way through NJ, while WABC is solid beyond Port Jervis.
