For this year the scope is just to cover the parking lot with the Whole House FM Transmitter.
Management inquired if we could cover the rest of the campus next year, preferably with the kit that was donated.

Expand Campus
The campus is much larger than I expected. A good situation for carrier current AM though, from what I've read about LPB installs at schools over the years, everything is in a tight area, lots of wiring to carry the signal around, and out a little way from the buildings, it should be heard in the surrounding parking lots.
On FM, I don't know, maybe several transmitters spread out and running the same audio? Perhaps folks like End80 and Mark with more FM experience might have some ideas there.
Not trying to drive you away from an STA, just make it easier.
Boom

Forgot to mention, being on Marconi Road, you're in good company for radio experimentation! If you ever decide of build and sell hobby radios from Marconi Road, that's instant prestige right there!

Especially if you are at one end where the marker is. A scale of distance measurement to get the actual area needed to cover would be helpful. If you have no more than the area of half a soccer field the whole house with high quality receivers would do it. I see several parking lots there. If the parking lot you want to cover is where the marker is and/or the small area to the right(toward monmouth blvd.) then the wholehouse should be good. Take a test drive with the transmitter in a good location and a good portable/car radio and see.
