Dear MRW:

The university where I teach licensed a 100 watt FM station last year. The
transmitter was placed near the base of the tower that supported the
transmitter's antenna.

The studio was some 1000 feet away from the transmitter. A cable
containing multiple shielded pairs was run from the transmitter to the
studio. Every low power FM broadcast transmitter that I looked at had
provisions to make easy remote control.

My suggestion is to mount the transmitter near the antenna and run
control cables down to the studio. A short run of coax is likely to have
acceptably low loss.

Good luck. 73 Mac
