The battle was eventually won and the phone company agreed to erect a smaller transmitter in its place. |
They'll be radioing with this transmitter before their most recent message gets to the Bruton Corridor. |
The transmitter mixes the signal with some strong radio signals called carrier waves. |
Contour feathers lapped over the transmitter, concealing its presence and preserving the bird's hydrodynamic profile as much as possible. |
The reflection of radio waves means that AM radio reception is possible at great distances from the transmitter. |
Generally, it is of no value for the transmitter to outdistance the receiver. |
