Re: [smartBridges] Radio Station Tower

Marlon.. I very much appricate your comments.    I am going to mount my equipment around the 150-175 foot mark on there 250 foot tower.  I may come lower if needed.  I was convinced in using a amp cause of the trees that are in the area.  Most homes do not have line of sight without some trees. I understand what you are saying though.    What kind of range could i expect from a 8db omni assuming line of sight?   dennis   ----- Original Message ----- From: Marlon Schafer (509-982-2181) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2003 10:46 PM Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Radio Station Tower I stay away from the station towers as much as I can.  The massive quantities of rf can and often do shut our gear down.   By far my most troublesome site is on a radio station tower.  I wished then and do now that I'd have had somewhere else to go, anywhere else to go!  Especially now that they've increased the power on the radio station.  Got 400KBps coming in and 70 going out.  yuck.   Other systems up there (at ground level rather than up on the tower) will deliver 250ish out at 12 miles!  Grrrrrr.   Stay as low as you can.   Also, please note that I've MOVED this thread to the wisp list rather than the sb list.   marlon   ----- Original Message ----- From: Dennis Burgess To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2003 8:07 PM Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Radio Station Tower I would really like to get a answer on this one!   Thanks everyone,   Dennis   ----- Original Message ----- From: Dennis Burgess To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2003 8:50 PM Subject: [smartBridges] Radio Station Tower I am getting ready to sign a deal with a radio station.  They have a 250 foot tower, I can place equipment anywhere on.  However, they run both a AM and FM station off the top.  Will there transmission and me using a omni cause any ill effects?   Thanx,   Dennis
