You're  right about the ground conductivity.  Old maps showed it as 0.5, but  
it seems to be 2.0 now; I don't know why.  At night in the winter,  you can 
see a station's tower lights and not be able to hear them.  I  wouldn't dream 
of trying to cover this market on AM.

This is where the AM rules should be changed much like they are now doing  
with the dropping of the power limitations on the old Class III regionals,  
allowing them to go up to what ever power they can withoit interference.
 
Everyone knows the advantage of ground conductivity on 600 kHz. vis 1550  
kHz.  So why shouldn't we allow a 50 kW. on 1550 kHz. during the daytime  have 
the same coverages as a 50 kW.  on 650 kHz?.  For the difference  in ground 
conductivity allow the 1550 station to up its power above  50 kW.  to give it an 
equivalent signal as long as there is no interference and we are  talking 
daytime only.   
 
I was amazed at the big news talker in Washington goes hardly covers the  TSA 
but I could clearly listen to WOR 710 from New York.
 
Oh well another stupid thought.
