Downloaded OK for me Kenneth (thanks Bruce)....contact me off list if you continue to have problems and I'll get it to you.

Hi Bruce,
Can you or anyone else on this list check out the link you provided? It won't download for me. The page opens and the download stops at 142.2kb/3.86mb.

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.
