[BC] STL question

[Gary Glaenzer]

Ron;

I take it that you want to use an AM off-air signal as the source for your
FM ?

Receive it at the FM studio and dump it into the STL ?

IF you have sufficient AM signal day and night you could probably get by
with this.

BUT what happens if the AM drops off the air and you end up rebroadcasting
some other station on your FM ?

Just something to consider.............

Gary
