![]() "WCRV WCRV" wrote in message ... The Low-Power AM station hobby has become more popular over the past 2 years. In the U.S, it is legal to broadcast over the AM band 540kHz-1700kHz using a 3 meter antenna and a 100mW transmitter. Until recently, building a small AM radio station was very complicated and very expensive, until now. Using a SSTRAN AMT-3000 transmitter, which comes as a kit for under $100.00US, or a built version which comes assembled and tested for under $200.00 US, and a 3 meter, coil loaded and tunable antenna for around $225.00 US, anyone can get on the air right now! I get questions about range: the system I am describing has had reports from 1/2 mile to over 4 miles! Range totally depends on these factors: location, scope of the land, conductivity, choice of frequency/adjacencies, and use of this antenna. If the transmitter and antenna are installed correctly in a proper area, several miles are possible. Many people are interested in a good, solid local signal and this system does it for a fraction of the amount of money you will spend for a comparable system. If you are interested in low power AM Broadcasting, I invite you to visit this site: http://antenna18431.tripod.com/antenna.htm In this site you will find information on the 3 meter antenna, pictures of it, information and pictures of the transmitter and a link to email questions, comments and inquiries to. If you would like to be on the air, this is an excellent choice to do it well, and at a very affordable price! Boy what a rip off. 160 bux of hardware worth...MAYBE 5 bux. Gawd there sure are a lot of fools out there. Dan/W4NTI |

Well duh "Mr. Ham radio operator". I built my own for $15 using spare
parts and a few hardware store items. He's hawking something for the lazy bones who can't or don't want to roll their own. Compare his setup to a Hamilton Rangemaster for $995 which uses a 102" CB whip. If you are an Appliance Operator then his pitch may appeal to you. Dan/W4NTI wrote: "WCRV WCRV" wrote in message ...
