I have a place to share my findings on part 15 as i experiement with this fun hobby.

Now i know i have been touching on alot of different subjects here, usually with questions ive had about my project and im all over the board most the time. lol

Today is no different.
Out of boredom and curiosity, i loaded up the sstran into the shielded side of the cable that feeds fm to the 5 foot aluminum flag pole on the front porch.

I dont have the ground connected to anything for the fm so it was free to use. After tuning the sstran i was amazed to find that the signal was clear, strong and appears to have some range to it. (not sure how much range since i havent really checked).

The coax is Perfect Vision RG-6 that i found attached to the home but no longer in use. The bulk of the cable is inside of the home and roughly 8 feet of it runs outside the home to the flag pole on our porch.
So theres 8 ft of cable radiating signal on 1500 am.
Ill give you all a distance report later when i go out, but on a portable crank-up am/fm radio i can hear it loud and clear at 50′ feet from the house.

More Later…
