Currently RHZ runs on
several AM transmitters whose boundaries have not fully met
yet. The broadcast ranges have varied from about 1/8mile to
1 mile in radius. Because the areas have not started to intersect,
there has been little concern to our listeners about sharing
space.
When broadcast ranges do meet up, reception will be fuzzier
where the the boundries cross. The audio signal is syncronized
within a few milli-seconds, the content will match up but
not the exact broadcast waves. Getting transmission signals
"in phase" exactly is tricky, the transmitter must
be an advanced model with this feature. In a car you would
just drive through this area, and if your house rests in this
area, you will have to adjust your antenna to try to focus
on one transmitter over another.
We are developing ways to syncronize the transmission signals
in phase, meaning where the actual broadcast waves line up
exactly and will not cause interferance. We are experimenting
with using both GPS and atomic clock systems as ways to syncronize
the signals completly.
