On the flip side of the equation:   There are a dozen or more new OTA television antennas on my block as people give up expensive cable television and revert to OTA and streaming services…

As close to what passes for an antenna as I can!

Just pre-ordered ours  after receiving the alert from Bill Baker:

“You are on an exclusive list of people registered to be first in line to receive information on the new R.A.T. 1.0 Remote Antenna & Tuner, which will extend the outdoor range of the i A.M. Radio / Talking House Transmitter to a half-mile or more via standard RG6 Coaxial Cable. We…[Read more]

Quick question:  Did your team write the statement of policy at https://www.wbxoclassicrock.com/policy or was it farmed out to an attorney?

Per the website: the main transmitter is a McMartin BA-1K, with a locally-built backup transmitter at 350 watts output. The website also indicates they use a 110 foot tower, with a substantial counterpoise system.

Tim,

Did not say or infer it’s an IPAWS system – The link above is an EAS / SAME decoder. Paired with an RTL-SDR dongle as mentioned in the article (the RTL-SDR is the receiver hardware), you will receive SAME encoded EAS message transmitted by which ever entry points the SDR is tuned to.

I have three of them, one tuned to the state primary…[Read more]
