How does the statement above reconcile with the fact that groundwave daytime
signal strength is far better over a sea water path than any ground path?

Hi OM,

Perhaps you should attend the quote above again. For instance, how is
it that statements in agreement require "reconciliation?"

So you are saying that sea water paths provide far better groundwave
propagation than overland paths because sea water a such a good reflector?

Hi OM,

What is the contention that is your point?

That it isn't the reflective nature of sea water that is responsible for its
good propagation of groundwave signals. That is due to its conductivity.

Hi OM,

Then the response is quite simple: you are wrong.

Hi OM,

Your reaction is the shock of a belief being challenged. ;-)

As for having company? I am not under the illusion that science is a
democracy, much less a madison avenue concept.
