[cma-l] Future thoughts for CMA

[Office - ccr-fm]

Cheers Steve

I'll have a peep ........... concerns though that the 'chucking it
capability' would be enough for (the man from del monte) <> Mr Ofcom to say
''he say no''

As I've said, it's not particularly the coverage, it is basically to stop
Key 103 coming over the top of us on the Moss Rose estate in Macclesfield
which is about 1 mile outside our 5km ...... which by the way DOES !  exist.

Regards

Nick

"Something as simple as putting the power up by 20 watts WOULD make a 
difference. We don't need height, we do not want to chuck our signal all 
over the North West, we simply want to defend our Castle."

Nick,

Why are you dismissive of increasing aerial height? I know from personal 
experience that it can make a drastic improvement to reception. Indeed, 
it may be more effective than increasing transmitter power. Take a look 
at this web page:
http://www.mf2fm.com/blog/comments.php?y=10&m=08&entry=entry100809-221736
it shows a computer simulation of coverage. Doubling height is more 
effective than quadrupling transmitter power.
