as the sun sets in St John's, Newfoundland

[Paul Hopfgarten]

Wasn't there a 700 from St John NB that was listenable from Boston right at 
the coast back in the day?

Nova Scotia FMs can only be heard during tropo conditions. When conditions 
are right, some of them really come blasting in, though I have a much better 
than average setup to receive them.

I also heard some NF FMs a couple years ago via tropo, but it is extremely 
rare. It's much more common to hear NF stations via e skip, as I think most 
of them are around 700-800 miles away.

I believe some AM stations like 780 used to make to Cape Cod at least, 
during the day.
