DCF is an inland station, fairly far away from the ocean coast, with an unknown (unknown to me, at least) antenna radiation launching angle. The fact that it can be heard throughout Europe (probably ground wave) does not necessarily mean (to me) that it will cross the pond via multiple hops. We did hear France-Inter (on 162) and Europe #1 as if they were local broadcast stations. France Inter runs 2 MW, I understand. Has anyone yet established a comparison between those 2 MW with a 9 KHz bandwidth and DCF's power with its bandwidth ? 73 Andre'
