[BC] Syncronized transmitters

[Craig Bowman]

One of (if not the) original phase locked FM booster systems was by a 
California company called Omega International.  Omega used an external 
reference signal to phase lock the exciter of the main and booster 
transmitter.  No attempt to sync the pilot was made.  Using GPS is a 
much better idea but, in1985, was not realistic.  They had interesting 
names for their products.  The reference signal was transmitter by the 
ORG Original Reference Generator and was received (and re-coded) by the 
ASM which I cannot remember but the ORG and the ASM stick in my mind.  
Every time a new device had to be created it carried the frequency of 
the station for which it was developed.  I was responsible for the FFH 
1025.  Filter From Hell and the station was on 102.5.  I would like to 
see some of the stuff Al Kirchner (sorry for the spelling AL...it has 
been too long) is doing.  I have it under good authority it is impressive.
