It uses a directional antenna, concentrating its power in a south-westerly direction (220 degrees) This would place its main lobe toward Rio de Janeiro ! (Their web site also states that their ground is made of 195 Kilometers of 3mm copper wire...) b) France Inter (2MW) is located near Bourges (02 deg 12 min. East; 47 deg. 10 minutes North), almost at the geographical center of France, and only about 300 kilometers from the ocean (Hence less attenuation over ground) . It presumably uses an ominidirectional antenna
