I'm not very knowledgeable about radio antennas, but I know some of you are. Here goes:
We're building a new BMW dealership right next to the KNX-AM (as in major powerful)radio antenna.
The antenna currently has conductors just under the surface of the ground, in a radial array, 1 every 1-1/2 degrees (240 in all).
Our specs include an underground ring of bare 2/0 around the building, with exothermic welds to the rebar every 4', and about 30 ground rods. It will involve about 2700' of conductor, and maybe 400 cadwelds. This is then to be connected to the underground array of the antenna.
I've been told that the portion of the antenna that we see is only 1/2 the antenna, and that since we're building on top of the old underground array, we've got to replace what we're disturbing.
Anybody have ideas? I don't...S
