Re: [IRCA] max groundwave propagation distance




We can all provide receptions at 100 miles or more of strong stations
at midday. But even with a steady signal that's not really conclusive
evidence of groundwave only. Determining a signal's arrival angle is
key to determining whether or not there's daytime skywave involved. In
winter daytime skywave is practically a given over paths longer than
300-500 miles. In summer, we don't usually hear long distance midday DX
unless it's an all-water path. That's a further indication that the
winter receptions have a skywave component.
