actually, trivandrum is one of the worst state capitals in india...so cant really blame anyone for not starting their company there...even many of friends frm tvm share this view!!!

I too agree. Trivandrum is just a capital city for name sake

Jishnu, thanks again for the update.You can try for used Car Antennas, which you can easily get from any car workshops, or for the new one it will cost around Rs.110. Fix it in some tree or buliding terrace. I suggest coconut tree (not joke), try you will get all 4 FM stations easily. I wish to come to Kerala now..to enjoy all these....bye...

They claim to transmit at a radius of 50kms, yet these stations are not available on the radios. Why do they do that?

 

[Smile]

This is happening everywhere. I think good transmission depends on the nature of the land. Means, things like hills and trees etc can block the waves. Even here in Dubai FM radio's which claim 100 KM's are not reaching more than 80 KM's in some areas.

Hmm thanks. I though FM is designed so that it bypasses the obstacles without loss in signal quality.
