#1 Just for the folks who were wondering...

A small FM transmitter of about 100 watts is about the size of your combination dvd/vcr player. And weighs about as much. Transmitting in the middle of the dial, around 98.1, the antenna--which would be 3-bay--would be mounted on a 30' section of water pipe. Using 3-10' sections of 2-1/2" pipe, you could screw it together and mount the antenna sections in about 15 minutes with three guys. Get a gain of about 1.5. Pulleys and ropes, given the mountains and trees, and you could easily cover an area with a radius of 40-50 miles, line of sight. Connect 100 feet of coax cable to your transmitter, and time spent rigging to completion? About 30 minutes. A good engineer could manufacture the antenna sections easily enough, so even if the antenna took a hit, with another couple of pieces of water pipe and some more cable and you're back in business.
