I'm inclined to side with RichPowers on this one. 2 miles is unrealistic, unless you're dealing with a car radio (and even then it's pretty unlikely)...
I remember that post clearly. I also remember that some questioned its legality due to a long ground lead 🙂 I thought (and still think) it's a gre...
The story keeps changing. All I know is that your last statement certainly doesn't hold in the real world for Part 15 MW broadcast signals.
But you’ve gone on record stating that you measured no field strength loss of a licensed radio signal due to an obstruction.
Maybe, maybe not. Depends on the FCC inspector. But you could certainly plug in a Talking House or Talking Sign ( that has been certified for use in t...

I'm personally getting rather tired of the discussions surrounding Part15.219 (or RSS210) antennas, ground leads, etc. The intent always appears to b...
Then why bring it up again? You might take note that this is not the ALPB.
It should be made perfectly clear that this Forum is not associated with the ALPB (other than the owner also hosting the ALPB website). So there is n...
That may be the results from NEC. However, I have seen dramatic range differences in raising a wire antenna of a Talking Sign 2 feet (everything else...
The statement that the FCC accepts the results of the NEC software for antenna systems of licensed stations is not relevant to this discussion. It is...
I actually agree with Rich that the theoretical formulae behind the NEC simulations are valid for all power levels. But, as usual, the devil is in th...
