Shortwave broadcast related question...
I've only skimmed the wikipedia entry on radio propagation Radio propagation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia but I thought I would turn here for the answer...
How far do ground waves propagate, at an example frequency of say 7000khz, power = 100,000 watts? 50,000 watts?
Reason I ask is I live 100mi/160km from Sackville transmitter site (100,000 watts) and 240mi/380km from Monticello Maine (WBCQ 50,000 watts) and I'm wondering if I'm receiving groundwave or skywave from these transmitter sites.
