Like a lot of small airports, we have quite a few people who park in the
parking lot, frequently on their lunch hours, to watch the airplanes land
and take off. It would be a nice PR opportunity if they could listen to
the
CTAF while they're there. I've been thinking about a simple repeater that
would pick up the local CTAF chatter and retransmit it onto the FM band so
that they could tune their car radios in to listen.


A few years ago we ran across a spate of 'House For Sale' signs that
instructed us to tune our radio to (whatever) to hear a recorded message
about the house -- the very house we were sitting in front of. I thought
GREAT idea! Terrific idea!!

Two problems:
1. The recorded one minute message was usually lame - call us for info.
Huh???
2. Haven't seen those signs around now for a couple of years.

Yes, I think it's a great idea for the parking area. I'd like to see
something like that at ANE.
