As a skeptic and ham radio afficionado, I hope [Sam] might be able to help me with this - Assume you have an old type transmitter, late 1930s technology, transmitting at 50 watts at 3105 khz during the day and over water. The transmitter is about 1000 high, could a voice signal be picked up as signal strength 5 / good at 400 miles? Yes, there is a skeptical angle to this.

The symbol of christianity [is] a man/god dead [on] a cross. To me they choose this symbol to make you feel guilty all the time. Is there any other religion besides christianity that exploits guilt like that? -Camilo from Quebec
