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."

Very funny.
