That is what I mean by dual xmitter operation, a station operating on the
same freq with the same power at the same time and overlapping coverage. 
(I told you I didn't think I explained it clearly)  As I posted earlier I

Haverhill to complete their "network" but for some reason never followed
through.  Imagine the hash noise if they had!!!
