Upgrade Paths

Having a part 15 radio station is only the beginning of a growth process. It is human nature to build onto the basic setup and there are many upgrade paths.

A better antenna is probably number one, followed by stepping up to a better transmitter.
I thought of several bell and whistle things to do –
It would be neat to have a central remote control point for controlling and monitoring each transmitter, wherever they are located.
Also, how about mini-meters for watching transmitter “readings.”
Finally, while listening to “This Week in Radio Tech” from the TWiT Network, there was a tour of a transmitter plant with the sound of very heavy-duty blowers keeping the transmitters cool. For part 15, how about ultra mini blowers that run just for realism.
