SO little power that, if you do so legally, can't be heard across
the parking lot, let alone across town, state or country...

Well, I can't let this opportunity slide by.....

Yes, Frankie...we all know of the occassions where someone has made
some amazing contacts using miliwatt powers...

Now...Make those contacts CONSISTENTLY...

Propogation on the band is consistent enough for the government to
have used it for radionavigation and emergency communications networks
for several -decades-; regardless.....

Yes...Propagation on that band made it useful for navigation.

NOW...SHOW US where the government ran those beacons at Part 15
power levels.

Interesting site. I also note that it's over 5 years old and
without updates since. The Twin Towers were still standing when that
site was last touched by the "owner".

Another interesting point is that the site does NOT mention YOU.

And I make consistent contacts with another lowfer about 80 miles to
my SSW (basaltic soil seems to provide an excellent medium for
ground-wave propogation, although snow is better and salt-water is
-much- better). My ERP is 0.031 watts.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

Eighty miles, eh...?!?!

I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooo (un)impressed.
