Puerto Rico FM Broadcast Station Heard in the Dominican Republic -- But How? WIDI 99.5 FM

WIDI 99.5 FM. Booming in during daylight here on the eastern tip of the Dominican Republic. Their antenna is about 2100 feet above average surrounding terrain. That would put the horizon at about 56 miles. But the path is about 100 miles. What do you folks think is the likely propagation mode?

  1. I suppose tropo duct, quite usual in a sea path

  2. Agree. Tropo ducting most likely. Hepburn Index for your region is high, especially over that sea path.

  3. I'll try to publish a more detailed map later today, but I also get that line of sight doesn't quite make it.
