it turns out these people invest in apparently expensive elaborate audio gear for AM transmitters that operate in the higher portion of the bc band with 100 mw carriers fed to 108" steel whips. The whips are elevated and the tx mounts directly under it in a weatherproof box on the mast. I know the range of low power 10 watt carrier stations (class Ds with night-time authorization) is surprisingly good due to their use of their regular full-size systems but I can't imagine the service area of 100 mw on a whip will be more than a few blocks. To invest in so much high grade audio gear for such a thing is bizarre. rob/k5uj From: "Harold B.

I certainly think 48 Large is a good starting price for a station fifty times more powerful than Radio Moscow, don't you?
