Novel! I like it.
Not a good idea to use the same frequency. Find a spot on the dial that's
empty - if you can.
R4 is 95.3 or 94.9 here from distant memory pre RDS.
107.7 seems pretty free, although it may upset any passing motorist
using it to listen to his/her iPod.
50mW with a very short aerial would seem to be good for a few hundred
yards. Driven from XBMC it is very adequate to cover the house and
garden for a party with the music not over loud in any one place and
with local volume controls.
Allegedly.
