With the regularity of packages arriving at my doorstep, it is almost like everyday is Christmas! Yesterday, two packages arrived. The first from Ron's Home & Hardware containing 350 Light Stakes for the perimeter of my yard. Including shipping costs, I got them for a dime each.
The second package came from my sister, Julie. She had told me that they had an FM Transmitter laying around from when they sold their previous house. It was just collecting dust, so she would give it to me. It turns out it is an AM transmitter, not FM. Oh well - I'll still get an FM transmitter and then I can simulcast the show on both AM & FM! I played with it for a while last night - it works. It seems that a line level signal fed into the line input needs more attenuation and EQ adjustments though because the audio at the receiver sounded over modulated especially in the lower audio frequencies. Another issue I'm not certain yet how to overcome is that there is a low frequency hum that is heard in the reception. It does get drowned out fairly well when audio is present, but when all is quiet, the hum is rather obnoxious. If anyone has ideas, I'm open to suggestions.
