The only one tripping tonight is you.


I see you can't answer simple questions on the technical terms you use,
which pretty much disproves the BS you have propagated via Usenet and
the web that you have built transmitters and understand how to couple
them to towers. You completely fabricated that stuff.


Actually, for several years I had the only OIB in Ecuador, and was
frequently called on to tune towers.


Yeah sure thing. You don't know mathematical or technical terms but you
can tune towers. Give me a break.

If you really were "frequently called on to tune towers" then you must
have had a method. Maybe you could explain this tuning method. There are
always times when you go to tune some circuit or box or tower and it
does not tune up right. Maybe you have a notable example of when things
did not go right and you had to change methods or trouble shoot the
tower/coupling circuits before it would tune up?

All you can do for an explanation of field strength is point to the FCC
web site. You can't use your own words to explain the terms.


Well there is a point we can agree on. That is all you can do. All I
have been asking is for you to put it in your own words. If I can do so
can you.

I gave you an explanation, consisting of the context in which broadcast
engineers use the term. Very few are experts in propagation theory, most can
not design a directional array. Our interest in signal contours is based on
insuring management that we are getting all the coverage we are legally
licensed for....


And the fact still remains... and this is where this started... that
listeners do not commonly listen beyond the 10 mv/m contour on AM and beyond
the 64 dbu on FM... based on analysis of ZIP codes where listening to
stations takes place and the available "listenable" stations in each ZIP
code.


You gave a very weak "someone else's explanation." I'm not asking hard
questions of you. I just want to know whether you understand the
terminology you use to make a point. You make many posts to the news
group. You should know what you are talking about. I suggest you sit
down with an engineer and have him explain them to you.

Here's a simulated Tardo reply: "You don't know anything about what it
was like in Ecuador in the 60's, do you? We didn't have methods then,
and troubleshooting is an American concept that has no counterpart in
Ecuadorian culture."
