. One thing the FCC would never do (and it pains me to give them ANY credit whatsoever) is to put two stations on the same frequency with overlapping coverage areas (nighttime AM propagation notwithstanding). Try 101.1 FM in New York vs. 101.1 FM in Philadelphia. If one is off the air and you slightly adjust your antenna, you can pick up the other. In certain areas of central New Jersey, they jam each other. Same with 98.3 in New Brunswick, NJ and 98.3 in Hempstead, NY. I remember as a kid slightly adjusting the power cord on what passed for my "hi fi" (a Yorx all-in one record changer thing from the 1980s) and being able to switch between either station. So yeah, the FCC is very guilty of shortspacing frequencies, especially in crowded areas like the North East. Stephanie Weil New York City, USA |
