Can anyone tell me the best way to estimate the groundwave coverage
I'm likely to get on 75 meters?
___________
NEC shows this for a theoretically perfect 1/4-wave vertical monopole
system:
Frequency = 3.9 MHz
Conductivity = 5 mS/m
Applied Power = 100 watts
Groundwave Field at 10 miles = 31.7 µV/m
Groundwave Field at 20 miles = 14 µV/m

Wouldn't a 200 degree vertical work better?
