"Of course you don`t know how much power is dissipated in nearby structures (buildings, etc)." Yes. Standard broadcast field strengths are measured at distances along radial paths begining at one mile from the station to ensure far field determination. Conductivity of the earth affects received signal strength. Over sea water, the millivolts per meter decline inversely with distance. Over the earth, decline is more rapid depending on conductivity. Some sites along the radials are unacceptable due to proximity of conducting structures. The more measurements along a radial, the better. 25 sites per radial is about the minimum. In the USA, the FCC has published Groundwave Field vs Distance Charts, and made them a part of its rules. One can try to fit his measured data to the FCC curves. Groundwaves is what broadcasting is all about at these frequencies. Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI |
