Variety 1560 AM is back on the air 1560 AM, 90.7 FM, soon to be 1470 am (i hope) when I work the bugs out of our carrier current system.
of course on the WWW as well via a private unpublished stream for friends and family to listen.

Great, look forward to hearing about your adventures! I've had my eyes on 1470 for a while too, in between some out of town stations.
One time I had a old cordless phone base that I was able to tune down to 1470 to get a feel for it.

Congrats on being back on terrestrial. I'd like to check out that stream if that's a possibility.
Any chance that you're using MB ReCaster? I'm real curious about that software but have to wait till I get a real computer to try it out. Can't do nothing with this tablet I'm using.

Great to see you're back in action, and lots of work went into that, I can see why you haven't been posting here for a while! I like the original Trek Enterprise on the monitors, and it does have a starship command look, you just need a swiveling captain's chair. The FM dipole looks like exactly the same type as a church in my area was using for their Christmas lights display. It was up on a framework behind LED bars that displayed animations that you could park and watch, like a drive-in, and the sound was on FM radio.  I was thinking it must be a pro antenna, and a great use for Part-15 in action. The antenna was up maybe 15 feet, and the pipe on each side was adjustable it looked like, because there were marks of cleaner metal, like it had been on a higher frequency at one time, then the pipes were slid out on each side to make it work on the lower part of the band.

We have one of those just a little bit from where I live it's about three tenths of a mile and I can pick it up from where I live. They just took it off the air a few days ago. I know that's well over 300 ft.

It was a great sounding station, and it even seemed like they were running audio compression, whether on the transmitter or something they added when it was recorded in their AV department. It sounded better than pro broadcast.
The program had the pastor and some others playing Santa, Missus Claus, Rudolph and elves that was animated by the lights, with holiday music, and the program was about a half hour long, and excellent for the kiddos most of all.
I didn't check what the full range was, but it at least covered the church's parking lot where we were. Part-15 in action!
I also compared antennas with Part15 Engineer's, and they are slightly different, wider extensions.
