It easily covers about 15 miles on ground wave - I'm sure further with the right topography. <br /><br />73, Tim G4VXETimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15165826626789082107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071048343455395511.post-12226747292360105732012-11-21T14:08:23.185+00:002012-11-21T14:08:23.185+00:00Hello Roger,

You should listen to AM US stations they are really strong on 27.025 MHz !<br /><br />My radio is just 4 W AM and when I was in Bordeaux, with a poor antenna location (very close to a wall) I was able to copy 10-15 km stations. Sometimes, I don't know why I could even make QSO with stations in Arcachon, around 50-60 km south to Bordeaux.<br /><br />One day I made a dipole, it was in summer and there was Es propagation. There was a Spanish station from Andalusia coming really strong (he was singing a typical song from there with his guitar) and I made a QSO with him (just 4 W). But after I had to remove the dipole because people around was not happy to see it attached on trees...<br /><br />73, from Thierry.<br /><br />TiƩguihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10357686296146091511noreply@blogger.com
