Re: [IRCA] pending radio setup in Newfoundland

I'm curious to know what midday/groundwave catches you might have across the pond with that setup grounded in the saltwater? :)  I've heard of 5kW 560 Miami (when their transmitter was in Biscaine (sp?) Bay) being heard on a barefoot Sony ICF-6500W at Signal Hill, NFLD.  With some Europeans being in the hundreds of kW or even a megawatt or more, I wonder if you'd hear any on groundwave there with a good setup, especially longwave stations?  (I haven't heard any here, but I've got a major urban area between me and the Pacific, which also is much larger than the Atlantic, especially heading west or southwest from here.)

But anyway whenever he sends in a report it always mentions the ultralights. I'd like to see what the results would be if he used a big rig with adjustable RF gain etc.and something like a loop antenna. Can we persuade him to do some DXing with something a little more sensitive -weather permitting ? Bill in BC
