[BC] Poor Reception Areas

[Dippel, Don]

Hello All,

Speaking of reception, has anyone done a study of what Dbu relates to reception? I mean is 60dbu good enough to penetrate the average home? How about 50Dbu? Is 40dbu too weak for inside the home without an amplified antenna? I am speaking ONLY of FM.

If anyone has a link, let me know.

Thanks.

Just listen to 80 meters any given night and you'll see what he means.  :-)
