Location:  Whalebone, North Carolina at the Oregon Inlet
Receiver:  Ford Radio ('66 Mustang), whip antenna
Date    :  9/4/68 between 1130-1300 hrs EDT

One of the best QTHs for daytime (groundwave) DX is North 
Carolina's Outer Banks.  The geography of the Eastern Seaboard 
has two distinct concave coastlines which converge at Cape 
Hatteras.  This allows "local- like" reception of stations from 
Boston to Jacksonville, Florida!  AM radio signals easily span 
the coast due to the extremely high conductivity of salt water.  
The ground conductivity at my home QTH in central Maryland is 
rated at "2"; sea water is estimated at "5000".

More time and more sophisticated equipment would surely lend to 
a most interesting bandscan.

Call letter changes have not been shown.  Stations which have changed
frequencies are shown.

The reception of Baltimore/Washington area stations can be attributed 
to the salinity of the Chesapeake Bay.  Likewise, Philadelphia/Camden 
are undoubtedly aided by Delaware Bay.

Three known stations have subsequently begun operation in the area 
on 1060, 1530 & 1580.  They would obviously have an effect on this 
bandscan as far as same and adjacent frequencies are concerned.
