While flying over southern Long Island (HWV) at pattern altitude, it
is common to hear communications from Sky Acres NY and Lincoln Park NJ
(both 60-70 nm away), as well as from a few other airports, on the
122.8 CTAF. Some signals are strong; others are not.


I've heard those airports over Provincetown, MA!

I can also hear Montgomery, NY over Chester, CT.


In soe conditions you'll be able to hear furhter than that! I've heard
VHF transmissions well over 1,000 miles away even at low levels.
