Wonderful! Thank you! I hoped somebody would map all the bearings. Interesting how they are clustering in 2 nodes, NJ and DC. My location is Waynesburg, PA, in the SW corner of PA near the WV line, at 39:53:55N 80:11:09W.
DF using Sony 7600GR and a decent hand compass, I get a bearing of 100 deg East (a line roughly thru Baltimore & Dover). BUT that bearing is magnetic, so my true north here is 9 deg W declination. So adjusting...how does that work...I think subtract 9 deg? So the true bearing is 91 deg, right? Which means a line from me thru Wilmington, DE -- right in the middle between the 2 nodes you have mapped so far. You're right, this is fun! The 1610 sig is tough to null here--it's a powerhouse. I had to null it during a rare fade. On FRI, I'll take radio & compass to work w/me, when I'll have a weak groundwave signal, which should DF w/much greater precision. That reading will be from Morgantown in northern WV, ~ 22 mis SE of home. I'll email you the bearing, the lat/long from topo map, and current mag declination will be same, ~ 9 degrees W.
