According to schedule, the antenna from Bonaire is aimed almost due
south (182 or 170 degrees). Which actually is good news because there
is always some sort of backwhip in the opposite direction.


...right, either straight back or off at some 120 degree or so angle
off the rear side. *When I lived in Massachusetts 30 years ago - heck,
here in California - the Bonaire transmissions do/were ALWAYS

*30 years ago Bonaire also had an AM broadcast on 800KHz. It came in
quite well at night all over the East coast.


So I understood. Never made it to New England though, not really.
There was something else nearby on that freq, I cannot remember what.
