Not nearly so productive in Victoria this morning I'm afraid. The
Flag doesn't receive longwave very well, so there was only a carrier
on 279, and pretty much everything else was at carrier level only.
There were four audios but so poor it was impossible to get even a
hint of the language
The experiences of many of us on the East Coast is similar - you don't have to
go very far inland at all to lose the TA's that you have at the shore. I can
remember back before digitally-tuned radios that you could tune in a TA on the
car radio on a good split channel at the shore, and lose it
Elevation almost NEVER hurts. In combination with sea gain, it can be awesome.
Somebody years ago took a portable up to the top of a lighthourse right on the
shore up in New England and compared between reception on the ground and at the
top, but as far as I know that isn't documented except in
How much room do you have? If you need it up higher so to be unlikely to come
into contact with people and animals, that is possible but then, you need
sturdy end supports as they will be 6 or 7 ft up in the air.

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
DU conditions down from yesterday with the exception of Radio Polynesie 738
with a Good signal at 1253.
Top TP station was HLAZ 1566 with a fair signal. Russian long-wave signals
were weaker this morning.
153 RUSSIA, Radio Rossii 1230 fair with music.
279 RUSSIA, Radio Rossii
Further to shooting down my speculation about 1000 feet inland having any
significant effect on Bill Whitacre's DX, here's a comment based on my own
experience by John Bryant, from over six years ago:
At the Annual Big Bash at Grayland this season (October 2005) Nick and I
gave up most of one
This is getting more and more interesting! Thank you Gary and Bill for the
recent cliffside DXing results, and Nick for sleuthing out the limited
technical papers on this topic.
Some years ago during an annual family vacation to Yachats, Oregon, I was

It is not too late to make plans to attend the 19th annual
Madison-Milwaukee Get-together for DXers and Radio Enthusiasts! But time is
getting short
and this will be the last announcement for it on this list.
This popular DX event has been held on the third Saturday in August every
This morning, driving through Wilmington DE, I had a station on 1610
at 0805-0815 running Fox Sports Radio. Signal faded out by 0820. No
ID or local ads. Just the two Canadian stations are listed here and
neither are listed as sports. Any ideas?

Smyrna,
Could be a spur or mixing product from one or more nearby stations.

Just thinking again, there is a very strong Fox Sports station in
Wilmington DE on 1290- WWTX. Could be an image or a spur from that on
1610.

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

I did some experiments with this theory (with Nick
as well) in 1994 and 1995 during one particularly good season
where TA's were audible at my location 1.35 km
from the waterfront in Victoria B.C. (on Cook Street)
sometimes early in the afternoon.
Cook Street, in Victoria B.C., terminated on
Based on my terrible experiences in Wilmington, I would say 2x1450-1290, if
my math is right. There are quite a few of these I have found downtown.
