As a broad general rule, moving an AM broadcast transmitter, within accepted
engineering parameters, will NOT change the reception area. In most instances, if a station needs to build a new transmitter shack, they just build it somewhere close to the antenna, then move the transmitter itself overnight (been there, done that, not fun). Since there is a cable, usually coax, connecting the transmitter to the antenna, if the length of the cable were made substantially longer, say going from 25 ft to 2500 ft, the amount of power being delivered to the antenna would be reduced by cable losses, and you would see some degradation of signal. But while there are engineering workarounds for this, you might have a problem getting the FCC to go along with them. "Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message hlink.net...

link.net... Changing the site of the transmitter changes the reception area of the station. Not necessarily (as Dave points out), but even if it does, it won't change it enough for the vast majority of listeners to even notice, never mind care. And we're not talking about the minute difference in reception area, we're talking about who might care about relocating the tower. And the answer to that is "hardly anyone, except those currently neighbors to the tower and those who will be neighbors at the proposed location". In other words, it's the neighbors, not the total listenership. Pete

Not far from where I live, we have a 50kw AM transmitter litterally in the middle of a shopping area. They had to use some particular shielding tricks on the buildings to keep everything inside from being affected. Usually its so that when you turn off the floresent lights, they actually do go off...

Meeting minimum requirements does not guarantee freedom from liability. Just ask any auto or aircraft manufacturer. But what is the purpose of the minimum requirements? What's the objective? If more than just meeting minimum requirements is expected of someone, then those "minimum" requiremens aren't much good. -- Bob Noel looking for a sig the lawyers will like

No but it could very well limit liability. Only if EXPRESSLY legislated, otherwise even double the standard still leaves your ass hanging. The biggest source of liability is not your level of neglect or adherence to good engineering principles; it's the depth of your pockets. -- Matt --------------------- Matthew W.
