Re: [IRCA] Groundwave on Mediumwave

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just realized there were some errors in Giella`s post.

``WSB 650 kc from Nashville.`` 

Obviously (?) it had to be either WSM 650 or WSB 750 Atlanta.

``I visited Signal Hill in St. Johns, NF in September 1988, at the peak of
Solar Cycle 22. At the time I was an SWL, not yet licensed as a Ham, which came
in December 1989. I had with me a Sony ICF-6500W receiver and at daytime on
ground wave I was able to clearly copy WQAM 560 kc 5 kw in Miami, FL. At the
time WQAM's single tower was out in Biscayne Bay. That was an approximate
distance of 2158 km, 3474 mi. Part of the ground wave path in NF was over land
but the signal probably skewed along and around the coast to Signal Hill.``

km and miles are reversed; I get more like 2100 miles, 3380 km
