Lacking Explanation

There are many great nations. One of my favorites is procrastination. But another one I frequently visit is explanation.

On the new Spectrum Analyzer I can see KMOX 1120kHz 50kW all day long registering 20dBm on the screen, picked up by the 13-inch telescope antenna.
At 8 PM, local sunset, the 20 dBm peak from KMOX vanishes, even though the station is still broadcasting and comes in on the radio.
According to radio-locator.com KMOX is non-directional, 2 Patterns, 1 tower.
A comparison of their daytime and nighttime maps look like exactly the same pattern.
How can they change pattern with only 1 tower, yet be non-directional with 50kW. What actually are they changing?
