You get different reflections for higher frequencies. Temperature differences similar to those that cause mirages which reflect light also reflect higher frequency radio waves. It works best across flat reflective surfaces like water!

The mighty wiki, of course , answered my question about baja radio.
Seems to be plenty AM + FM but all near the border. None listed or found at the Cabo end which is odd I thought.

Yes what a great way to end a day @ sundown. Cheap beach chair, cold beer, clear sky decent radio with good antenna scrolling the dial trying to catch a signal from the US.

Hopefully satellites won't kill radio radio transmitters for a few more decades.

Last year, I was headed north in mid-March and decided to camp out at Las Animas (south of B.O.L.A) for a night. I was hoping to catch some AM weather reports to decide whether to stay east of the Sierra Nevada range, or head up I-5 to Northern CA.

I was pleasantly surprised to find KFBK in Sacramento with weather and road reports over I-80 Donner Summit, which was a home run for me! What was even more surprising, was getting the signal the next day from around Gonzaga Bay, almost to Mexicali!




If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
