Re: [IRCA] LAX TIS 530

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Many years ago, the entire LAX TIS operated with leaky coax.  I remember 
listening to it on rental car radios in the mid 80's.  The signal was 
good while you drove along the main street (I forget which one, but it 
was probably one that Mike mentioned).  The signal was fine as long as 
you drove along that street.  If you drove more than a block down a side 
street, the signal disappeared (as would be expected with Radiax cable).

The site is on the south side of the street -- on Century Blvd -- just west of Aviation Blvd.  It is just east of the main LAX terminal.   Part two of the existing system is a 10 watt transmitter that feeds a "leaky Radiax cable" antenna -- inside the Sepulveda Blvd Tunnel -- which is just down the street and around the corner from the main site.
