it's a 5,000 watt station what do you think lol it's a full time station i can get into the major market well atleast the cars but my problem is penetrating the walls inside the houses . The guy i bought the radio station from told me that the grounding system has about 300 copper cables and that some were messed up when the new tower was put in lets say that 80 of these 300 cables are cut would that be enough to take from my power?? my question is would watter in contact with my ground sytem make a difference

5000 watts - at what distance from the market? That makes a difference with building penetration.

Watering the lawn isn't going to make up for a cut-up ground system.<P ID="signature">______________

Then be happy with what you've got, especially if this station is high up on the AM band. The people you want to reach are probably on the fringe.<P ID="signature">______________
