I am getting the signal just east of Lincoln Square, but I have to move the receiver around in order to pick up the signal. UnlessI do, the broadcast is drowned out by commercial stations through FM capture effect. Higher antenna or more optimal channel selection would be needed to acheive a better coverage area.
Good to hear the broadcast. Stay cool. |

The broadcast was outstanding! It was so excellent to have an entire day of educational programming about activism against the FTAA.
We need more microradio!!! |
