They are one and another when it comes to broadcast. Tied in unison until they are dead. As for the LF/MF/HF propagation modes, they are terribly unpredictable as anything other than line of sight. Groundwave <3MHz and lower, if you're lucky.
Non-deterministic propagation is interesting if you're an amateur radio operator or SW DXer but it's not important and is quite frankly a liability if you have to rely on it or have a target audience. Sure you can bash out some CW to Tasmania from Europe and tell a great story but you're probably dead if you need it at a specific time when the sun is sleepy.
For ref, ex CW operator. I use a UHF radio computer unit with a fruit on the back now.
- themodelplumber 4y agoStrange to read LOS in there in combination with the "non-important" argument to follow it. LOS is non-important for all practical reasons when you have the very predictable ionospheric propagation effect and a favorite talk show. That WiFi exists...the more the merrier...
- iasay 4y agoI tend to listen to my favourite shows on podcasts app these days.
- themodelplumber 4y agoHope you are enjoying it without any technical commitment. The other comments read like you burned yourself out for radio something good!
- iasay 4y agoYeah that’s a whole another story though.
