Hi Roger you will find that the late Reg Edwards programs GRNDWAV3 (I think)
gives a very good idea of ground wave strengths. I do have an article here
(somewhere) from Jack Belrose with I believe some skywave strength formula
in it. (I am "between two PCs" at the moment :-)) and it is undoubtedly on
the other one ) Generally at LF the skywave starts to equal or exceed the
groundwave strength at ranges exceeding 700km. It may be a little less that
that at 500k. It also depends a little on the receive-system senitivity to a
given mode, which is why very low power stations sometimes experience a
"quiet zone" at least to audible reception.
