This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

Tin Foil Hats Back In Fashion

Post by Zak Tyler »

maybe some of you engineerin' types can figger this out.

[quote="R&R E-mail"]
New Yorkers are experiencing their own crazy version of the
Bermuda Triangle: a five-block area around the Empire State
Building where cars inexplicably die ... apparently, there’s some
kind of dead zone where cars can be parked, but they won’t start
back up! [SFX: Dramatic music stab.] Crazy conspiracy theorists
are blaming radio — specifically, to the huge friggin’ antenna on
top of the building that’s home to around 20 New York FM
transmitters. Apparently, it’s throwing off so much RF radiation
that it’s screwing with cars’ keyless entry systems and
immobilizer chips, blocking the unlock signals. “We get about 10
to 15 cars stuck near there every day,â€
I'm not an idiot, but I play one on the radio.

Keyless entry = 315mHz.

Here's one senario from the Empire:

107.5+102.7+105.1

There looks to be about ten mixes that would land the math on the keyless entry frequencies.

Yeah, well I changed my first post because I was working from memory.
Unfortunately, the bandplan I first figured was CATV not OTA.
