[HCDX] Slovakia - time to upgrade to ALLISS ???

["mhev" <mhev@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

===============
It is my view that Slovakia should upgrade its SW transmitters to the ALLISS
system (a rotatable HRS 4/4/1 antenna system), but using cheaper RIZ
(riz.hr) transmitters.

Telefunken or Thales transmitters are probably too costly (and perhaps
complex) for the nation's needs.

Because each ALLISS module operates at 500 kW, one ALLISS module per
province is probably the best approach to take with respect to EM
compatibility. I must add that it is not a requirement to operate at 500 kW
all the time, power can be modified to best fit target areas and those
^%^&%&*^%!!! geomagnetic storms...

I would assume that only 4 ALLISS modules would be needed to meet current or
future broadcasting requirements.

This upgrade probably needs to be done over a 7 to 10 year timeframe.
