There are a few households within range of my AM contour, and if I really wanted to increase the liklihood that one of them would find my station, I would put transmitters on every open frequency and literally hog the dial.
Of course people who ignore AM would be in their own culturally deprived world.
If possible, I might put an FM transmitter on a pole at the property line adjacent to their window.
If you like this idea and plan to do it join this thread and report your progress.
Transmitters on every open frequency or even half of the open frequencies sounds expensive. Would you need a huge open space to accomidate ground screens and what not?
"I might put an FM transmitter on a pole at the property line adjacent to their window."
Sounds like you have one person you want to listen.
Your points cut right to the heart of the matter, Desktopgrass.
Expensive is a problem, even for a guy like Trump who said, "I am very rich." Thing is his hands are full trying to take the National Steering Wheel.
An even bigger problem is physical placement of all the expensive transmitters. I have raised questions in the past about building combiners so several transmitters could share one antenna, but the engineers say the 15.219 would not work with combiners... there would be too much power loss.
The FM pole on the property line would mean very little to me, as the three houses around me have people who hang on the internet and cable TV, not radio people. But somebody else's neighbor might be choice.
After saying all that I am off to a start with two AM intentional radiator stations on the air plus a carrier current that is almost repaired. There's a spare transmitter so maybe next I'll do a frequency left blank by the closing of a local station.
Think big start small is today's platitude.
When I listed my AM stations I totally forgot KHZ, AM 1640, the Indoor AM Antenna Experimental Station due to go on the air last year.
It's my 2nd AMT3000 and the transmitter I sleep with.
