Groundwave graveyarders at 200+ miles are a problem here on Cape Cod
too, since all the non-local channels (1230, 1340, 1400, 1450, 1490)
have fairly strong Atlantic City, NJ area stations getting right in the
way of juicier farther-south GY's. And 1240 - the local - is also
south-southwest at about 4 miles.

Yes, station density is considerably less out west on GY's. As your
cardioid
array can certainly get rid Calif. pests you may find more distant one
hop stuff
(assuming my understanding of propagation they are 1 hop). Another
thing that is
a huge help for GY's is not having any ground wave signals on the
channel. This
is a big issue here in the midwest with our good ground conductivity.
ie when it
is very AU and there's no skip, I still can get GY pests weakly from
200 miles
away via groundwave. This means that the far southern DX has this QRM
to contend
with.
