There will also be a series of pics of me putting this together. We may post this, but it is amazing how bad you look when you are busy working.

I didn’t expect a lot of requests for changes to the design. I can change some aspects of it to suit your needs, but to keep it legal, it will be what it will be.

Please refer to the sstran site to view the antenna as it is designed and built. If you have a change you would like to make, email me with exact
details and I will only question items that need to be questioned.

I will build it to your specs, but the decision needs to be made and stuck with. Otherwise, orders for the sstran antenna will be built and shipped as
is specified on Phil’s site.

So re-check the sstran website and our antenna website http://antenna18431.tripod.com/antenna.htm

Thanks and spread the word to your fellow part 15er’s!

You can see our presentation on this website; http://antenna18431.tripod.com/antenna.htm, and within this website, see a detailed drawing of the antenna we are selling.
The cost is important to most people, therefore, if you were to purchase a sstran AMT-3000 transmitter and the coil-loaded copper antenna, you would spend perhaps $250.00. The combination is known to put out a range of 1-2 miles and more depending on the installation.

This is an excellent solution for anyone wanting to enter part 15 broadcasting on a “shoestring”.
The antenna can also be used in conjunction with other transmitters.

If you have any questions, or need further information, please contact me at [email protected]

Can you construct a small antenna with PVC plumbing tube and discarded fruit cans? Can such an antenna really work? Well, that depends on who you ask…

The best answers are probably found by reading rather than wiring. As Don Lancaster always says, an hour of reading equals a month in the lab!

Here are a few sources to get you started:

www.lpam.info, the brand new resource for Low Power AM (LPAM) Broadcasting technical howto and information – owner Kyle writes “I have been having some troubles with my server, but it is definitely still there. I’ll try to work out the bugs this week…”

The site is brand new – a complete technical resource for LPAM broadcasters.

LPAM.info is also the home of the Low Power AM Broadcasters Handbook, a first ever book for LPAM broadcasters.

While LPAM doesn’t mean any particular service or power level, there has been a recent surge in “Part-15” broadcast stations.

LPAM is becoming popular, in part, because in the FM band you can only legally broadcast a few hundred feet. With the AM band however, the restrictions are less severe.

While the LPAM movement is gaining in numbers, it is still going slowly. One of the biggest problems for newcomers was the lack of good, detailed technical information. Because of a lack of technical knowledge, most LPAMers were radio experts or well-trained HAM enthusiasts.

The site and the book were designed to fill that gap. With the materials presented, beginners and amateur engineers can get an understanding of the methods of broadcasting. With a little bit of learning and some handiwork, you too can start your own LPAM broadcast station!
