AM STATION field intensity readings for one locale

[WLLHofyore]

For the geekyer of our radio geeks:


A few days ago a friend paid me a visit at home to hang around for a
little bit and then go out for lunch.

Always game for a geeking-good time (to distract us from getting into
criminal mischief during our free time), I suggested that he bring along
his boss' Potomac field-intensity meter.

Position: One, 68 Roxboro Drive, Palm Coast, Flagler County, Florida, USA.
GPS Position: 29.30.737* North, 81.15.019* West.

11:45AM, Eastern local time.

Daytime powers quoted off the top of my head, so to speak...

580 WDBO Orlando, FL (5kw) .7 millivolt
600 WBWL Jacksonville, FL (5kw) .61 millivolt
620 WHNZ Tampa, FL, (5kw) .13 milivolt
630 WBMQ Savannah, GA (5kw) .37 millivolt
690 WOKV Jacksonville, FL (50kw) 2.9 millivolts
1170 WSOS St. Augustine Beach, FL, (770w) .2 millivolt
1230 WSBB New Smyrna Beach, FL (1kw) .25 millivolt
1240 WFOY St. Augustine, FL - was 'mixing' with Eustis, FL, .2 millivolt
1260 WIYC Palatka, FL (1kw?), .16 millivolt
1290 WTKS Savannah, GA, (5kw??) .1 millivolt
1300 WITR Cocoa Beach, FL (5kw) .025 millivolt
1310 WYND Deland, FL (10kw) .3 millivolt
1320 WJGR Jacksonville, FL (5kw) .08 millivolt
1340 WROD Daytona Beach, FL (1kw) .24 millivolt
1520 WHIM Apopka, FL (2.5kw???) .035 millivolt
1530 WYMM Jacksonville, FL (50kw) .18 millivolt
1570 WVOJ Fernandina Beach, FL (10kw) .04 millivolt (has been much better
in the past / a year ago it's signal appears to have deteorated)
1590 WPUL South Daytona, FL (1kw?) .09 millivolt

Thoughts? Musings?

Looks like some stations are maintaining their ground radial systems and some aren't.....if you don't have a well maintained ground radial system, you might as well sign off
