Weakness Advantage
Posted on October 9, 2010
The brain adapts to low-power life. We have actually found an advantage to maintaining a less efficient transmitter site, in addition to the regular “more efficient” site.

The “efficient” site is 1670 AM, which is “more” efficient precisely because it is at a higher frequency. But the DISADVANTAGE is when I try to make improvements in antenna performance. It’s necessary to go two blocks away to check for the result.
Aha! A second transmitter operates at 1550kHz and the efficiency is PERFECTLY LESS, so that the normal reach of the signal fades out within the confines of the yard’s borders. Therefore when we tinker with antenna ideas the result can be tested within convenient bounds.
IF antenna improvements are discovered using the weaker system, those improvements can be added to the “better” system.
Smart? Nobel Prize?
