Re: [IRCA] max groundwave propagation distance

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

``About the best you'll find in the US is a low frequency station getting 300
miles ground wave.``

As I recently reconfirmed in a midday bandscan here near Enid OK, WGN-720
Chicago is audible by groundwave. WMAQ-670 used to be before Denver came on.
Chicago is almost 700 miles, Denver almost 500. These are very steady if weak
signals, not like skywave which occurs on the top of the band on winter days.

I get several others well over 300 miles any day, noise level permitting, e.g.
WNAX-570 Yankton SD, KWMT-540 Fort Dodge IA. Yes, ground conductivity is shown
on the FCC map as 30 around here.

73, Glenn Hauser
