I saw your post on RI against Savage's, Eduardo!

Itīs not against Savage.... it'against people who build unviable AM
stations
and the fact that AM is dying anyway. News talk is moving to FM, with
stations in Detroit and Indianapolis doing it just this week.

Maybe down in the flatlands. FM don't work in the mountains.


Funny, I owned FMs in Ecuador in the Sierra, and they worked just fine
except for small pockets that did not warrant boosters. Of course, you may
think the hills you live among are more significant that the Andes, where
some of my transmitters were at heights approaching 4000 meters, but that's
your problem.

There are no mountains that high around here. Mount Wilson is
slightly below 2,000m.


From Wikipedia
San Gorgonio Mountain (or Mount San Gorgonio, or Old Greyback) is the
highest peak in Southern California. It is located in the San Bernardino
Mountains, 27 mi (42 km) east of the city of San Bernardino and 12 miles
(19 km) north-northeast of San Gorgonio Pass. It lies in the San
Gorgonio Wilderness, part of the San Bernardino National Forest. Spanish
missionaries in the area during the early 1800s named the peak after
Saint Gorgonius.
