Re: [smartBridges] Radio Station Tower

[Dennis Burgess]

The station has two 250 foot towers. Two differant AM stations. They are about 50 feet from each other.   I would be going with the local water tower, bu the city council wants to charge me .02 cents per doller as a city tax, plus provide them with at least 512k link and $200 bucks a month.  The AM stations is less than 1/2 mile away and is higher on the hill that the water tower is on!     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
