FM DX'ers - What is your longest groundwave reception?

Martin Courcel
FM tends not to travel by ground wave.That depends very much on what you call “ground wave”. If you mean a wave that propagates along the ground and follows the curvature of the earth, like MW or LW does, then you're right FM does not normally travel by groundwave, as it propagates in a straight line. But if you mean by that word everything that is not a sky wave, then you may say that FM travels by groundwave. 73, Martin. |

FM tends not to travel by ground wave. You may want to recall the weather on that day. The transmitter could have been operating in a ducting condition which enhances VHF propagation. . It is quite common out in the Southwest and over the Pacific in Southern California. 73, kevin kc6pob Hi all, |

Hi all,
I recently heard a "lowish" powered FM station (generally speaking), WBNO out of Bryan, Ohio, from my Michigan home. The station is broadcasting at 6000 watts, with an antenna approximately 300 feet high. I live 200 miles from this station and was able to positively ID their signal. Two questions to the group: 1) How can I tell whether the reception is groundwave or something else? 2) What is your longest groundwave reception? Thank you for your knowledge! Johnny |
