Glenn,
300 miles on gw? In July during the day, I would guess there is no skip,
or it would be rare, and yet KGO/KNBR/KCBS are all regulars at 550
miles. KFI is occasionally received during the Summer (When they had
their old tower), so I would take a guess that gw does go out father
than 300 mile
Nick,
You are right, in Dec/Jan, I often have trouble finding a period in the
middle of the day(Noon) where I can find no skip, as adjusting the pots
on my EWEs get tricky. That is one reason I went with the 2.5K ohm ones
rather than the 5K ohm. I don't have to touch up the 2.5K ohm ones
often.

``About the best you'll find in the US is a low frequency station getting 300
miles ground wave.``
As I recently reconfirmed in a midday bandscan here near Enid OK, WGN-720
Chicago is audible by groundwave. WMAQ-670 used to be before Denver came on.
Chicago is almost 700 miles, Denver almost 500.

My best distance midday reception, was KORL-650-10KW-Honolulu, HI (2500
miles over water) heard around 1970. KORL was mixing with KYAK-Anchorage

That's a tough one to summarize quickly. Yes on of the factors is

but more importantly the conductivity of the soil.
The FCC years ago published a conductivity map for the US which you can

It ranges for .5 to 30 over

How far do groundwave signals travel on the mediumwave broadcast band? That

While reviewing my overnight recordings this morning, I noted the
Cuban national anthem at the top of the hour at midnight Eastern
Standard Time on 1340 kHz which, here in the US anyway, is a
"graveyard" channel. I've never heard a Cuban there before (nor on any
graveyard), nor can I recall
Lower K-indices still don't seem to be making a big difference yet. The
propagation monitor says there was a general small peak around 1425UT, with 612
peaking better at 1412, and 1566 at 1453UT, but actual listening around 1425
just wasn't very impressive at all.

A bit different here in Alberta as the upper band was better than
yesterday, with audio noted from both 1566 and 1575. Indeed 1575 had
quite decent audio for a couple of minutes around 1340. The band below
about 1500 khz was rather so-so, with many carriers, but none all that
strong.
73,
Listened from 1320-1405 UT and conditions were way down from yesterday. No
audio was heard and the only carriers heard were 594, 666, 693, 747 and 774.
