WOOF AM 560 The Ball Dothan

[taylorengineer]

The ground system itself isn't nearly as important as the ground conductivity. I engineered a station with only a 12' x 12' screen for a ground system for years. When ClearChannel bought the station they installed a ground system. You could hardly tell the difference on a field strength meter.
Dial position and ground conductivity are the two most important factors in AM radio signal propagation.
John.....you may recall that 1690's ground system was installed underneath a parking lot. It was hardly an optimal ground system. I would not describe the signal as "booming" either. I have trouble hearing it anywhere outside the Perimeter at full power. You can pick the signal up but the average listener would not put up with the noise. Certainly does not sound like a local station. It fell off the dial at 1000 watts.
WSB has had the same coverage issues for years. The difference today is all the consumer and industrial equipment we use which creates RF interference. Practically any device with a microprocessor will generate RF hash - it has diminished the usefulness of AM signals greatly. Another factor is co-channel interference and adjacent channel IBOC operation.
WOOF has a monster signal. Glad to see there is someone still paying attention to it.

With poor ground conductivity or a poor ground system, if the signal does not reach far,  where does the signal go?  Into the earth?  Into the sky? Or does it get backed up and return to the transmitter?

The singal is so/so around the north florida big bend area but not as storng as it is a few years ago. What about online streaming does WOOF AM 560 The Ball streaming? I have tune in radio app and its working but noting just dead air or sometimes its said cant find the stream. Can someone tell me if WOOF will be streaming again?

Due to clauses in the network contracts, WOOF AM can not stream Network
programming(Yahoo Sports, Paul Finebaum) but does stream its locally
hosted shows and ball games. The stream is up 7-9 AM & 12-2 PM daily
and for local sporting events.
