With today's man made noise levels on AM, it takes a 10 mV/m signal to be listenable in a populated metro area. In fact, the IBU in Europe thinks that you need 15 mV/m to overcome the noise.
So tell us the population inside the 10 mV/m contour is?
1040 WPBS ?

Either he doesn't know that or he failed to realize that there are people here who do ...
How much of the audience is listening on the translator, though?

You tell me.
Presuming Kat is correct about which station it is: Blue line is the daytime 2 mV/m contour of the AM, red is the translator.
this opportunity just fell into his lap, and that doesn't usually happen.
his mom is trying to sell this radio tower that she's got in conyers georgia.
he has no idea how to sell this thing. so if you got a radio tower, or if you buy radio towers, reach out to him. he's got one in conyers.
(and yes, WPBS and translator W256DJ)

Heres info on the land for that comes with it
One comment on the 'supposed' noise levels with AM. Other than when I was working in rooms with multiple computers (both at HFS and ASU), I have had, and still have, few problems receiving AM stations on my portable receivers either at home or in motor vehicles. Now I realize that most people listen online at their work places, but, from my personal experience, the claims about AM being noisy in general are really overblown. And I suspect that many of these claims are coming from groups that are trying their damndest (and possibly succeeding) to stop people from listening to free over-the-air radio in favor of radio that comes with a monthly service fee.
As long as there is free over-the-air radio, I will advocate for it/listen to it, over payed over-the-internet radio. Don't get me wrong, I do listen to some stations online, but there's still nothing like over-the-air and free local, regional, etc, broadcast radio.
With the crappy AM radios in today’s vehicles, I don’t think it’s overblown. It’s almost impossible to find a decent AM receiver today.
