At 500 Kilowatts WLW could reach: It was truly “The Nation’s Station.”

The coverage from this station was enormous. Operating at 500 kilowatts, the 390-Ohm base impedance ran some 35 Amperes of RF. The unmodulated signal produced a RF field intensity of at least 6 Volts per meter at a distance of one mile from the tower. At night, the signal regularly went from Maine to Southern California and Mexico.

Requests came from daytime listeners in Hawaii and from Buckingham Palace.
Broadcasts were heard regularly in Columbia, South America. (Time Magazine Letters May 11, 1936)

I presume you are posting this as evidence that the earth is flat? If so then you do not understand how radio signals in the AM band propagate through the ground wave effect, and not line of sight like the higher frequencies.

They're the ones that bounce off the dome, right? They need something solid to reflect off, or is there magic reflective air up there prodromos?

Have you made the trip to Lorne in the Great Otway National Park yet to watch the sunrise? Did you watch Mt Cowley to the West get lit up by sunlight before you could see the sunrise, even though you are closer to the sun?

Ground wave effect. They can hug the ground. Here's some good reading on the topic:

What is Ground Wave: Radio Signal Propagation » Electronics Notes (electronics-notes.com)

These ones are ground-huggers, eh? Doesn't matter what surface: ice, mud, water, desert, jungles, concrete...they just keep a-huggin' that curve. Surface waves.

I think Mercator is making merchandise of you there. In reality they just propagate in straight lines. This is another ludicrous and completely theoretical ad hoc. Time to exit Spaceball Fantasyland my friend.

Not long ago they said Marconi could not send his radio waves farther than 200 miles because of the curve. But he was able to send it 2000 miles across the Atlantic.

Why because the earth is flat, he did not have to worry about a curve because there is none.

They went up on the breadth (platos) of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.


English Standard Version
And they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from heaven and consumed them,

New American Standard Bible
And they came up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured them.

Sounds nice, and a useful proof for FE.

From Genesis 1 it is just as clear that the raqia, in Genesis 1:6, created by God. That is separating waters (6,7), that God named heaven in Genesis 1:8.

Is, what is known as, or called or referred to as the "sky, 1st heaven", where birds fly across the face of Genesis 1:20.

This raqia (dome, firmament, expanse, vault English translations) is where God placed the sun, moon and stars, is plainly stated.

No creation of an outer space/universe can be got/gotten from the verses in Genesis 1, were God has placed the sun, moon and stars thousands, millions, billions miles/light years away from the earth God created.

And as I stated in my first sentence, this raqia created in Genesis 1. Is just as plainly stated as God's creation of Adam in Genesis 1 and Eve in Genesis 2.

It might be here Rob Skiba made a video that addressed that question. My computer is real slow so it takes to long to scroll down to his bottom (earlier videos) to look around and find video. But this may be it, look toward the end of the video.

Good old Rob... He did so much ground work for this side of the debate. A true man of God who had a really good handle on the events of Genesis.. the stuff they don't teach at church... and the real state of our world.

Thank goodness we can still access his work.

Rob did produce quite a few good videos on the flat earth. He actually went to a good effort in areas of science, to counter many of these science deceptions.

I've pointed out the error in the video you posted. He was using the wrong half of the lens which refracted light the opposite way to that which occurs in the atmosphere, and yet you continue to hold him up as a champion.
Talk about deception.

Do you really think for some one who can not even see the creation created by God and described in The Bible. That i care what their opinion is on a persons video.

No, it is quite obvious that you care very little for facts. You seem to much prefer deception along with your subjective opinion on what constitutes a "common sense" understanding of Scripture.

“According to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons (NamUS) database, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Justice, more than 600,000 persons of all ages go missing every year, and approximately 4,400 unidentified bodies are recovered every year.”
Proof of a flat Earth … the difference are the people that fall off the edge. 600,000 disappear - 4400 bodies found = 595,600 people fall off the edge every year.

The sooner we ACCEPT a flat earth, the sooner we can begin erecting a safety rail and stop the senseless loss of life. ;)

They didn't fall off, they were pushed off by cats.

He did... He even did a video as he and his buddy crossed Lake Michigan... he proved that you can see the shoreline and it was not a "mirage" as the weather man said.

He also did a high altitude ballon video with a real adult camera.. not a kids go-pro with a fish eye lens.

Two fake images that have worked their way into the christian religion.

This first one is accepted by many as a representation of Jesus and not only Jesus but of Jesus being crucified.

Jesus on cross.jpg

The second one accepted by 98%+ of people in the christian religion as God's creation. So when they read the word earth (erets, land/ground) in The Bible this image comes to mind.

It’s called atmospheric bounce for a reason my friend.
