Re: [BVARC] Fm transmitter for Easter service
Echo is caused by reflected sound, Solid walls & ceiling cause reflections, creating distortion. This is not as much a problem outside. Two items that affect audio outside are first, abundant noise, the higher the abundant noise you have the higher the PA audio needs to be. When you need to run high audio levels, the people up close it is too loud, where as the people farther away have a harder time separating the abundant noise from the PA audio. The place you set up the sound system needs to be a quiet location with low abundant noise, not next to a freeway, busy road or equipment. Second, try to locate the speakers as high as possible & as close as possible ( on a 1 story roof if possible ) If you spread the speakers out (unless they are widely separated) people located between the speakers, maybe closer to 1 than the other will receive a audio delay in one ear than the other, making understanding hard. ( sound travels slow LOL) also the PA system must have some EQ adjustment in the speakers mic as voice has a narrow dynamic range, too much dynamic range on a voice mic will amplify white noise & background audio making the voice sound distorted. If you locate the speakers high and away from the listener, the 2 or more speakers will sound more like 1.

Re: [BVARC] Fm transmitter for Easter service
We are just going to have the pastor stand in the grass outside the church with an amplifier. If it is unsafe to roll down windows please let me know and I will contact the church and tell them not to do it. Thanks I had encouraged leaving parking spaces open between cars. If I am going too far on this let me know. Thanks. We won't have many cars there.

Re: [BVARC] Fm transmitter for Easter service
I have watched this thread and thought about it and an idea struck me. Why not use a service monitor. An IFR or equivalent will cover the FM band, I don't know it it will modulate to 75 kHz without distorting so you have to turn the receiver up a bit. I don't know what size of parking but I suggest an antenna cut to frequency up 15 or 20 feet or you might try a mobile mag mount stuck to a pipe vertical. it will be short but has a coil in the base that will extend it. Make sure it has something metal to mount to to. I defiantly think you need a run through with enough time for a redo. As far as the FCC is concerned you are a pirate station and illegal. As far as I know under part 15 you can run a low power AM transmitter but no provisions for the FM band. It is quite common though for translated audio in services and such with no enforcement action if there is no interference to anyone. Choose your frequency by listening carefully, I expect a full parking lot will be different RF wise from an empty, Get that antenna in the air, you will need the margin.

Marty, I've read the same thing - somewhere - but I can't find anything permitting it in the regs, so I don't know if it's true.

If so, I'd suspect that "100 feet" is a dreamy maximum, and that it would sound terrible in the real-life scenario you describe. But as always, FleaBay to the rescue: a 6-watt FM transmitter! For just a hundred bucks, you can start your very own pirate radio station anywhere on the commercial FM dial. This thing should provide nice, punchy audio to your entire church's congregation. Very, very illegal, though. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Retekess-6W-FM-Transmitter-Stereo-Station-Antenna-Wireless-Factory-Church-Home/324108794811?hash=item4b7663:g:48UAAOSwBfhcExIJ How about just setting up a PA system? 73 de N5OL On 3/31/2020 3:01 PM, Martin Blaise via BVARC wrote: I read that anything 25 milliwatts or less for 100 feet is ok On Tue, Mar 31, 2020 at 3:00 PM Alexander Park via BVARCwrote: I'm not sure that will be legal without an license On Tue, Mar 31, 2020, 2:09 PM Martin Blaise via BVARC wrote: My church would like to do a parking lot service for Easter and my pastor asked me what fm transmitter we could use to broadcast the service from the church to the cars per social distancing.

Not sure of your exact need, but if you are sourcing an FM transmitter for 98.7 to 108, a neighbor is selling a transmitter and antenna for $50.00 Larry Riendeau K5LER > On Mar 30, 2020, at 11:06 AM, Dwayne Jones via BVARC wrote: > > > Does anyone have a FM transmitter and antenna that could be used for a > evening? > > Dwayne > KB5YTA > > Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club > > BVARC mailing list > BVARC@bvarc.org > http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club BVARC mailing list BVARC@bvarc.org http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org
