Re: [IRCA] [CapeDX] Scotland 810 (Saturday afternoon)

 What little bit of WGY groundwave gets here on 810 can easily be covered by any number of skip stations at or before sunset.

Over the years these have included Scotland, Spain, Macedonia, Brazil, and Colombia.

WGY on 810 and WCBS on 880 are both 50 kW non-directional and the distances to those from here are not hugely different.

WCBS is at least 30 dB (!) stronger than WGY.  It's all about ground conductivity: great on the NYC to here path, terrible on the run from the Capital District.

Even in full darkness WGY can get kicked around by Colombia.  Sometimes Bahamas and Cuba join the fray.  880, on the other hand, seldom has much beyond WCBS.  Venezuela and Cuba are occasionally in there but hardly ever dominant.  Brazil once or twice at Orleans with a hand-adjusted null towards NYC..

We can be thankful that former 810 uber-pest CJVA is gone.  That one mucked up 810 TA's for many years.

 Not strong but completely dominating the f requency.
 
 Going a few miles to a beach site or having a higher / larger antenna would have brought it up to "armchair listening" quality.
