Group,
I got this email from Bill Harris, Director of Engineering for Citadel
Broadcasting Albuquerque and Operations Manager for 96.3 KBZU-FM..

Hello Paul,
Thanks for the forward of the message regarding
the 770 signal in Santa Fe. The booster transmitter
is not actually synchronized with the main in
Albuquerque. Rather, each transmitter is using a
GPS frequency locked standard. When this system
was installed, the two signals were intentionally
slightly offset in frequency to place the worst
of the interference zone in the least 'damaging'
areas. If the frequency shifts slightly, the
interference zone 'wanders', and you will experience
increased interference.
The booster generally does a pretty good job
in the area immediately around Santa Fe, but
not very far out of town. The route Mr. Callarman
took kept him in a pretty weak signal area
from the main transmitter, where even the relatively
low power of the booster continued to cause quite
a bit of interference.
Bill Harris CSRE, CBNT, KE5EFG
