Here's a document that has ground conductivity maps for the entire
planet.
http://hamwaves.com/antennas/gnd-sigma/vlf_mf_ground_conductivity_atlas.pdf
Note that maps 1-6 are for VLF, and the MF maps start with figure 7.
Canada is in there somewhere, along with Bangladesh, Iran, Namibia, etc etc.
This is probably the set to which Chuck was alluding.

Kenneth -
I don't know, but I have it on a older PC that is not handy at the
moment. Give me a day and I'll dig it out if you haven't been able to
find it. My recollection is that the map was done by the ITU or CCITT
as part of their somewhat worldwide set of ground conductivity maps.

Hi,
Are these soil conductivity maps for Canada available online? If
not, where might I be able to get them?

I've seen similar maps for Canada. The east side of the Rockies in
Alberta
is supposed to be superb for MW DX, and it has been proposed that
this is
due to the excellent ground conductivity. Interesting thread,
indeed!........Walt

An important aspect of losing signal when going away from the shore
is the
ground conductivity in that area. That makes a significant
coverage change
for any identical station by frequency, power and antenna. Local
stations
like 1230, etc., cover far better in the middle of the US than in
places
like New England. The FCC has a PDF map that can be downloaded to
show the
ground conductivity in the US. Should be accurate for Canada near the
border as well.
