I do not ever recall hearing Greenland on SW (MW would be a stretch from Indiana on one of my barefoot portables). Is the 3815 KHz SW transmitter capable of making it to the US Midwest on a portable such as my Eton E100?

Everyone will willingly spend more for the receiver!" Who knew that hi-tech lobbyists had braved the cold of Greenland? As a result, the people of Greenland get nothing. Even here in the vast expanse of British Columbia, we still get great coverage from low power AM and FM repeaters.

On the other hand, I have been hoping to catch the 72- one from Burnt River ON in WGN's null. IBOC from WOR on 710 has made this a challenge. So from an inland TA chaser's perspecive, I was hoping Greenland 720 might outlive WOR's IBOC. I guess for any real success in Newfoundland, I would want a massive number of signoffs in Spain.
