If you wanna see a load of pickaninny crap, just get involved with
anybody on AOL. Now that is a pain in the neck. As for the Hardly
Davidson comment, I agree totally. I see these guys in their 40's and
50's buying these things on a Monkey-See-Monkey-Do basis and all of a
sudden they are pros and authorities about all things Harley. Then comes
the clownish-looking leather clothing and the tattoos, and by God, the
Pony Tail. Anybody who has ever ridden for any length of time (like me)
knows the truth: No matter what the Village People think, the lowliest,
most basic Japanese twin will handle a hundred times better and blow the
doors off any Harley ever made. For a tenth the price.
You posted this the other day. You going to keep doing it until you
start an argument?
I can't vouch for the exact math, but it has to do with ground conductivy
and I squared R losses versus frequency. Lower frequencies have better
ground conductivity (hence ground wave) than higher ones. Much more of the
signal is sky wave at the high end of the dial. Many 50KW stations on the
high end of the dial don't even cover their service areas at night (When I
lived in west Portland, OR, in the 70's, I used to get nearly as much signal
on 1520 from KOMA in OKC as I did from (what was then KYXI) on the same
frequency a few miles away in Clackamas.
