A clarification. The strength of ground wave propagation increases with 
decreasing frequency. The FCC Rules for the AM broadcast band include a 
family of graphs for ground wave in groups of a few channels to cover 
the band. Ground wave distances on the low end of the band are MUCH 
greater than on the high end.
