WJR at 500 kW Directional (once proposed)

According to V-Soft, WSCR has the strongest signal in South Haven ZIP 49090 at about 2 mV/m. There are only ten groundwave signals there in the range of 1 to 2 mV/m, and all of them but WNDZ and WKZO are Chicago stations. WHFB is about 0.8 mV/m there.
 
Incidentally, the path length from the WSCR tower site to the South Haven, MI shoreline of Lake Michigan is about 98 miles. WSCR's groundwave field of 2 mV/m in South Haven would be produced for an average Earth conductivity of about 9.5 mS/m along that path.

So the poorer inland conductivity of the state of Michigan in that region isn't having much of an affect on the AM signals that cross Lake Michigan to South Haven, from the Chicago area.
 
Thanks for the correction on the distance from Southaven to the WSCR stick. As always I stand to be corrected. Maybe I was thinking of the drive to Southaven from my home which, IIRC was about 115 miles. I dunno. My bad.
