TA's on US channels are always good to get, so it was interesting to find BBC
Radio Scotland topping WGY on 810 at 6 p.m. EST / 2300 UTC this evening.
Though not rare at beach sites I can drive to in an hour or less (Duxbury,
Orleans, Eastham), it's quite a bit rarer at the home QTH with about 10 miles /
16 km of sandy soil on that bearing before hitting the water. That bit of land
takes at least 10 dB off the signal compared to shore-side.
The 75 deg. SuperLoop does a pretty good job of taking out all the southerly
stuff that crowds 810 on the other SuperLoop aimed 165 deg. at the Caribbean -
stations such as Bahamas, Colombia, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Brazil.
Of course the demise of former superpest CJVA helps too.
