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.

*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.- Hide quoted text -

TWR had an enormous 500KW AM station on Bonaire until a few
years ago. A real gorilla of a transmitter they used to have! Was
audible very often up here, in NYC. The best times were usually
between 1 to about 5 AM. Cannot hear it any longer since the power was
cut to normal levels.
