Not sure what you me...That's a tough call Gary. Not sure what you mean by "a good level". A strong level?<br /><br />Local WXXI here in Rochester, NY, at 5000 watts, 13.5 miles distant, puts in 5.59 mV/m here according to this site. That equates to about 75 dBu. I would consider it an average strength local.<br /><br />WDNY-1400, Dansville, NY, I would consider kind of weak here, and it shows a mV/m figure of only 0.55. The station is only 1000 watts, at 26 miles distant, and through some heavy terrain.<br /><br />In any event, these computed levels can't be taken as gospel, though they are useful as a relative "tool" for determining how one station compares to another. I would suggest that the V-Soft figures are kind of high for real-world strengths. I wish I had access to a meter to measure real-world values.<br /><br />BillRADIO-TIMETRAVELLERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05463280488316885706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260200412608523752.post-61300795216611317212009-09-19T15:59:54.400-04:002009-09-19T15:59:54.400-04:00What's a "good" level for mV/m?

All of the "locals" that I listen to are below 20 mV/m (and most are below 10 mV/m).gkinsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05062494311025609007noreply@blogger.com
