Inland Lakes: I have found that basic weather radios provide about 50% coverage at best of Lake Superior's shoreline from US and Canadian broadcast points, and that includes using about a 7' wire (speaker wire) attached via an alligator clip to the regular antenna. Strung out into a tree on some high point, I have gotten a signal from distances ranging from less than 20 miles to over 100 ( Sault Ste. Marie to Michipicoten Island). Fog seems to limit range, and signals to the Apostle Islands are usually shadowed by the hills of the Chequamegon Peninsula. -Andy Knapp *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
