A broadcaster checks in!

What I’m concerned about are the advocates for LPAM situation involving becoming FCC Licensed.

Then the government steps in and requires
this that and the other thing and usually it’s costly and out of the reach of the average person.

If we could just get from 1 to 5 watts that
would be fine to cover a suburb or small town or village which has no
radio service. The other thing I wanted to share with you is that I
operate a part 15 low power station and use the Talking House Transmitter
with an ATU in which a 10 foot antenna is attached.

The ATU is actually
a variable tuning coil which matches the antenna to the transmitter
frequency. The tunning box also has a ground which I connected to about
65 horrizontal copper radials buried about three to 4 inches under the
earth.

My antenna is perched on a 60 foot pole.
I get out during the day about one and a half miles strong and another
1/2 mile weak.
I get out about 1/2 mile good at night. Take care and God Bless!
