Sorry this is too late for the Feb 3 2300 airing. At that time I was going for a walk so thought I would listen on my pocket SW Grundig G8 --- no, 7490 signal far too weak. Sunnier spring and summer paths will make it even worse. Will need to get on the 500 kW if the flat-earthers can spare some time, and if he can afford it, and if it`s run at full-power (gh)
