Chris indeed 60 khz is fun but I have experienced its limitations on the east coast way to many times. Technically speaking it sucks. ;-) Is that technical? From a spoiled loran C user. Ahh for the old days.
But that said my experience at the higher frequencies does differ from yours and thats why I suggested it over driving references back and forth by car. Really looking for a common view for the 2 sites. The AM band at these distances would be very good but I just have no idea either for TV or AM how much a broadcaster might cooperate. Especially messing with the bread and butter. Thank heavens not my challenge. Though what started this thread is the neutrino thing. You have to imagine anyone who is playing that game can afford to do some clever stuff like renting space on a tower... Maybe a bit O dark fiber... Maybe even a few CS references to boot. Can I have the leftovers please?
