However, "E" skip to 600 - 1,000 miles could be the sweet-spot to hear this. Locally, NY, CT, NJ, and E. PA, could hear this with a scanner, or VHF TV, antenna, or even a 6M antenna, for like 100 miles out. With many companies and municipalities abandoning the VHF Low Band, you would be very likely to hear this station, even if it comes-in weak, where you are. What's nice about 42.800MHz is that it can penetrate into rough terrain and less affected by thick tree foliage. However, the reason it was abandoned for broadcasting in the first place was due to F2 and "E" skip. Those early broadcasts on 42MHz had reports from around the world. Anyway, sounds like fun.
