Area {City/State} of Reception.
A map? Are you sure? Unless you have a great circle map centered at
your receive site you'll have better luck with a globe and a string.
The "East Coast" and the Target AM/MW Radio
Stations that he listed are around 2200 Air Miles
from Las Vegas, NV.
For a 500 Foot BOG Antenna from Las Vegas, NV
these general headings :
CHI ~ 70*
NYC ~ 80*
Shoot-the-Middle for Due East @ 90*
ATL ~ 100*
MIA ~ 120*
{your choice}
Will get you 'close enough' {In-the-Zone} to Receive
the Target Area/City/States
Beverage-On-the-Ground [BOG] Antenna

The Beam-Width {Best Receiving Angle}
is in the general direction of the Far-End
and is around 60~90 Degrees.
