That depends on where in NA you are -- it's pretty big. I'm 5 miles from 
the Pacific, 70 miles S of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, 3,122 
miles from Navassa. London, England is 3,090 miles from Bangor, Maine. 
Detroit is 1,715 miles from Navassa. Seattle is 3,330 miles from 
Navassa. All of those North American paths are over land. The paths from 
EU to Navassa are all over water. I've spent about 8 hours trying to 
work them on 30M. They are pretty loud here, but I keep getting beat by 
stations in the eastern half of the US, AND from EU. I did work them the 
first night they were on 160M.
