FCC Rules Part 73 - Computed field strength vs distance
M3 Map of Effective Ground Conductivity in the United States for AM Broadcast Stations

Figure R3 of 47 CFR 73.190 of the Commission’s Rules contains a map of the estimated effective ground conductivity in the United States. This data is used to predict the propagation of AM signals across the United States. A higher ground conductivity indicates better AM propagation characteristics. The map shows that the ground conductivity in the U.S. ranges between 0.5 and 30 millimhos (or millisiemens) per meter. The conductivity of seawater is 5,000 millimhos per meter, resulting in the best propagation of AM signals.

Radio, Electronics and Computing Projects by Hans Summers

I make no claims for technical accuracy, good design, or necessarily even originality for the contents of these pages. Rather, I am a simple enthusiast attempting to convey my love and enjoyment of radio, electronics, and computing and perhaps to inspire YOU to build something too. The following pages document projects that I have built over a period of 30 years. Wherever applicable I have named sources and references.

Radio Hobbyist's Designbook

Radio Hobbyist’s Designbook or RHdb (for short) was designed to guide you into design of
electronics apparatus that relates to radio. It assumes you know something about electronics
but you can skip Chapters which cover familiar subjects. Mathematics needed in design is down
to simple algebra and trigonometry. Topics cover the frequency spectrum of DC through VHF.

You must supply the brainpower. But RHdb can be your main reference, a guidance toreaching
your personal hobby goal. RHdb is written in a sort of Reader’s Digest format: Short and
to-the-point, covering things simply with a minimum of words. Grouping is in 5 sections as
givenbelow with a synopsis of Chapters
