I'm assuming the Wichita metro is large enough where its populated all the way south to the airport and even further.

This will be the first tonight to impact a large number of people.

KAKE has the best coverage, but I keep getting kicked off. KWCH is another to use, in addition to the KSN mentioned.

The TDWR is about 11 miles SSW of Wichita. I'm assuming the airport is very close to it.
