Re: [IRCA] [Tvfmdx] DX "lay of the land" from the Myrtke Beach area
I've been to nearby Holden Beach several times. I got really good UHF TV DX
on a couple of trips into Alabama, Georgia and Florida with just a double
bowtie. FM was into Florida. AM groundwave is great down the coast. You can
even make out Miami on 610 and Cuba on 570, if I remember correctly, but
it's all pretty much south because of the ocean path. I didn't try for TAs.

Hey Fred and Group;
I have a question. We are planning a family vacation in mid June to
Ocean Isle beach, NC (just up the coast from Myrtle Beach, SC). What
would FM DX be like from there? I've seen tons of long haul coastal
trop from New England down to the Carolina coast, and even Florida. Is
long haul tropo (on say, the car radio) feasable from this location? My
concern (not knowing much about coastal tropo) is that at Ocean isle
Beach, the coast turns and runs almost E-W. Is that a factor?
What about AM DX? Summer conditions and lightning crashes not
withstanding, does the "Coastal Carolina" area suffer from lousy ground
conductivity, like most of the SE US has? Being on the Atlantic coast,
one would think of TA's. Again bad time of the year but I never hear of
Carolinas TA DX. Too far south?
Thanks.
73,
Dave in Indy
