[MRCA] 42.8 Broadcast

[Al Klase]

Hi Ray,

I was directly involved with this operation. (http://www.wa2xmn.ar88.net/)

We had e-mail QSL's from about a 60-mile radius of NYC.  Alpine is a few 
miles north of the George Washington bridge.  I listened all the way 
back from Alpine to Jersey City on a PRC-77 equivalent (Collins 628K1).  
Bandwidth is too narrow to do well on the 75 KHz deviation.  The TX 
sounded great on the IC-R9000 at home.

As I recall, the all time record is something like 110 miles.

If people think it's appropriate, I'll ping this list the next time 
WA2XMN is on the air.

Regards,
Al

It's a special event station operated under an experimental license that is commemorating Armstrong's first FM broadcast station in New Jersey. The wide band and low operating frequency makes it a natural for reception on old tactical FM sets. May be too wide band for modern radios but would work great with things like PRC-25, 77, 10 or the old vacuum tube RT stuff.
