Identifying Emergency Bands

<< < (2/2)

Tim Bucknall:
Let me know how you get on with that tx,  Particularly spurious radiation.
I only need half a watt but LP txs tend to be poor quality
Looks like i should get a bigger tx and turn it down

Tim Bucknall:
Fyi:
Half a watt into a directional vertical log periodic on a totally clear channel entirely covered a town of 100,000 people on undulating topography with minimal overspill. I was  lucky to be able to broadcast from the extreme
Western edge of the town so beaming east covered the
Whole town, including the town centre 1.5 miles away that sits in a dip.

I may try a channel that has a strong out of area tx to limit overspill even more

But in the USA you dont have to worry about stuff like that because a set up like I described wouldn't get you in trouble.


A guy in the next town ran 3 frequencies  24/7 at low power for years with no trouble, he's probably still doing it but the band is  now so full I can't hear him
