[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] RE: Re: (ukha_d) PSION WaveFinder - Software & Streaming
Two
questions spring to mind
1. How
long is a piece of string
2.
Where do you live. (if you are in Manchester etc forget it
!)
Radio
waves travel in straight lines and over a certain distance the curvature of
the
earth gets in the way, not to mention manmade objects and
hills/mountains.
The
critical factors are
1. The
height of the transmitter
2. the
height of the receiving aerial
3. the
distance a to b and wether anything is blocking it
4. the
strength of the received signal
5. is
there anything else on that frequency that may swamp
it.
Dont
forget that radio bandwidth is a precious commodity and they tend to reuse
the
same frequencies once they get outside the designed reception area plus a
small
safety margin. That is why freak weather in the summer causes so much
co-channel
interference due to signals travelling much further than they should. Its
also
why I get loads of continental staions in the summer months but tend to
loose my
designated UK transmitters.
GRRR
!!!!!
Working from home today and listening to Classic
Gold
on SKY Digital and they just ran an advert saying
"Dont
buy an ordinary radio....buy a DIGITAL one"
"
You
dont know what you are missing"
YES I
DO........... BASTARDS !!!!!!!!!
