[cma-l] Region 10 Licensing

[Ian Hickling]

I think we're confusing the requirement for an optimal transmitter location - with business and operational preferences.It's very unusual for any radio station to transmit from its studio/office location because the essential requirements differ so widely.Sure, you need a high point and a clear take-off with a good "view" of the audience for the transmit antenna, but you want the studio to be easily accessible for staff and presenters with adequate parking and public transport.
Just about everyone uses a link these days so there's no need for a compromise.

What is the ideal location for setting up a community station – any ideas?
I had a few;A large hill or tall building in the centre as 25W doesn’t go very farAn area that has a lot of green space (or water) around it so the listener's stay put Minimal competition from commercial radio An area that has a high enough population to make it interesting enough to advertisersA large pool volunteers  Feel free to add your own and suggested locations.       AlanPS Just realised by the above criteria this may qualify http://www.letstalkbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/Ideal-Community-Radio-Location.jpg
