I recall while heading to the 2011 convention in Colorado Springs being
more than mildly astounded at the signal put out by KOAL/750 in Price,
UT. I'd stayed overnight in Green River, and while driving the
following day through the extended badlands around Moab and on to Grand
Junction, CO, it just kept on thumping in on a stock Toyota rx.
I still have to thank Richard for being my chauffeur around The
Springs! I wasn't much of a navigator.

wherever you look. For DXing maybe redder means better???

I’m fortunate enough to live in an area of excellent ground conductivity.
Ground wave DX into surrounding states is very good at mid-day. My guess is it
has something to do with the Port Silt Loam (Red Dirt) that cover much of
Oklahoma. It’s a significant enough feature of the region to have been named
the official state soil.
