Re: Interference issue

[Jibguy@aol.com]

Hello Folks-
    I forgot to mention in my last post about the interference issue, that 
stations must correct any problems in the first year IF such problems fall 
within the station's 1000 mv/m (one thousand millivolt-per-meter) signal 
range.   In which case, I'm sure Sean's parents' home is not within.
    The 1000 mv/m (a.k.a  1v/m) signal range for 1510 is about a mile or more 
in each direction.  Lower-powered stations such as WJIB-740 have a shorter 
distance. WJIB's goes about 3 city blocks.
    BTW,  740 has never rec'd a complaint of such in the 10 years I've had 
it.  And no wonder, since the daytime power here is the equivalent of the 
bursting and billowing forth of 250,000 simulataneous butterfly sneezes.
    1510 IS the most well-known interference-causer in the Boston area.   
Much of WBZ's 1v/m range is over water.   WRKO & WEEI come in second and 
third for interference.

<< You mention 1510...When I lived in Watertown near the Cushing Sq/Belmont 
area, 1510 came through on my phone fairly strong (I think this was during 
their WMRE period), and I think I was at least 5 miles from the tower site. 
Was/is 1510 the worst culprit  in the Boston area?
