Radio World Buyer’s Guide articles are intended to help readers understand why their colleagues chose particular products to solve various technical situations. This month’s articles focus on transmitters.
Several years ago WJMJ(FM) in Hartford, Conn., approached contract engineer and consultant Tom Ray about taking the station HD for improved outreach to the Hispanic community.
“At the station’s existing site, HD operation would’ve been problematic,” Ray said.
“We applied for a location change and were able to move the transmitter site from Burlington to Farmington. With an antenna 950 feet up the ‘Channel 61 television tower,’ we were able to upgrade from a Class B1 to a full Class B and, the best part, the HD signal could be operated at –10 dBc. Win-win!”
