[BC] RE: The future-signal

[Robert Meuser]

Yes and no. If you take NYC as an example. Going in the Jersey 
direction, many stations are lucky to reach their protected contours. 
Central NJ is RF soup.  On the other hand, NYC stations are rated (and 
do well) in Suffolk county LI where part of that audience is 60 or more 
miles out. With the extremely poor ground conductivity there, I 
guarantee you there is only the Hpole component. The same situation 
would exist in parts of New England.

But over those long distances here in the east, you're going to run right into the primary field of the co-channel.  We don't broadcast to audiences 100 miles away, we need the coverage inside 25~30 miles.
