Because the lowest channel is centered on 87. 9 MHz, the tenths digit ( in MHz ) of the center frequency of any FM station in the United States is always an odd number.

Because of its susceptibility to atmospheric and electrical interference, AM broadcasting now attracts mainly talk radio and news programming, while music radio and public radio mostly shifted to FM broadcasting in the late 1970s.

Because the 42 – 50 MHz FM signals were originally intended to only cover a relatively confined service area, the sporadic long-distance signal propagation was seen as a nuisance, especially by station management.

Because DNL and DNR are non-complementary, meaning they do not require encoded source material, they can be used to remove background noise from any audio signal, including magnetic tape recordings and FM radio broadcasts, reducing noise by as much as 10 dB.

Because of these problems Bates College again applied to the FCC for a 10-watt station on the then relatively new FM band.

Because of its durability and access to the Nikkor lens line, the FM came to dominate its market niche and was rewarded by the introduction of an improved successor, the Nikon FM2, in 1982.

Because of this, the station adjusted their name to 107 Star FM.

Because this mast was under high voltage the aerials for FM and TV on its top were fed via a Goubau line.

Because of the geographic location of Star FM's Transmitter and the positioning of the frequency between 2 other very strong signals ( ABC Classic FM ( 106. 1 ) and Triple J ( 107. 7 )) without co-locating transmitters meant that Star FM's signal didn't reach very far in to Brisbane City ( where the majority of Ipswich residents commute to on a daily basis ).

Because the FM frequency offered better broadcast coverage of the region, the CBC found that it was able to surrender two FM repeater transmitters serving communities outside of the city — thus opening two new frequencies for license applications.

Because Theta Cablevision charged extra for their FM hookups, CABL-FM 108's potential audience was between 4, 700 and approximately 25, 000 ( based on information provided by Brad Sobel in an article in Billboard ), out of Cablevision's approximately 100, 000 subscriber households. CPVR DJs ' from 1972

Because of the nature of the 97. 7 FM sale to First Broadcasting out of Texas, " The Future of Rock & Roll " was able to continue broadcasting from the Oxford, Ohio building until a more touring musician friendly location could be found.

Because the station's transmitter is located near the Minnesota-Iowa border and has difficulty reaching Rochester, which is in a valley, the FM station has an additional translator, K292EM 106. 3, in the city.

Because of deficiencies with the main FM signal which did not exist when the station was on AM, CBME-FM added FM rebroadcasting transmitters with directional antennas in the western part of Montreal ( 98 watts ) and in Cowansville ( 2, 700 watts ).

Because 104. 9 had a noticeably narrower coverage area than 90. 7 FM, many of their listeners lost their ability to listen to XLNC1's programs.

Because of FCC allocation considerations, 88. 3 FM cannot use as much power as most of the other Salt Lake City FM stations.

Because of this, many 4-metre users gain access to the band by using converted " Low band " VHF ex-PMR ( Private Mobile Radio ) transceivers but invariably these only have either AM or FM and those users who prefer to have a multi-mode capability but can't afford a second hand Yaesu FT-847 normally use transverters, either purposely built home builds or sometimes even converted 6-metre or 2-metre versions.

Because the Federal Communications Commission was concerned that the move of WPTS to FM might set an unfavorable precedent for other non-commercial stations seeking to make a similar move, Pitt had to reassure the FCC that WPTS was a unique case.

Because RTTY, using either AFSK or FSK modulation, produces a waveform with constant power, a transmitter does not need to use a linear amplifier, which is required for many digital transmission modes.

Because it uses frequency modulation, SECAM is not linear with respect to the input image ( this is also what protects it against signal distortion ), so electrically mixing two ( synchronized ) SECAM signals does not yield a valid SECAM signal, unlike with analog PAL or NTSC.

Because the MO activity is usually very small, normally less than 1 °, in conventional systems, the monochromator produces quasi-monochromatic light in a narrow wavelength window since the amplitude of modulation is wavelength dependent.

Because the base region is very lightly doped, the additional current ( actually charges in the base region ) causes conductivity modulation which reduces the resistance of the portion of the base between the emitter junction and the B2 terminal.

Because of the accompanying drone or drones, the lack of modulation in bagpipe melody, and stable timbre of the reed sound, in many bagpipe traditions the tones of the chanter are tuned using just intonation, although bagpipe tuning is highly variable across traditions.

Because of the discontinuous operating mode of those converters, a discontinuous sliding mode controller is a natural implementation choice over continuous controllers that may need to be applied by means of pulse-width modulation or a similar technique of applying a continuous signal to an output that can only take discrete states.

Because dbx Type I and Type II are broadband ( single-band ) companders ( unlike Dolby-A's four bands ), they are susceptible to audible noise modulation and other artifacts.

Because of channel-length modulation, the mirror has a finite output ( or Norton ) resistance given by the r < sub > o </ sub > of the output transistor, namely ( see channel length modulation ):

Because Project 25 radios are designed to work in existing two-way radio frequency channels, they cannot use spread spectrum modulation, which is inherently jam-resistant.

Because an electric current flows through such a transistor, it can be used as a light-emitting device, thus integrating current modulation and light emission.

Because of its bright green color when polished, amazonite is sometimes cut and used as a gemstone, although it is easily fractured.

Because the territory of a particular country must be the same color, four colors may not be sufficient.

Because the four color theorem is true, this is always possible ; however, because the person drawing the map is focused on the one large region, he fails to notice that the remaining regions can in fact be colored with three colors.

Because of the softness of pure ( 24k ) gold, it is usually alloyed with base metals for use in jewelry, altering its hardness and ductility, melting point, color and other properties.

Because hemoglobin is a darker red when it is not bound to oxygen ( deoxyhemoglobin ), as opposed to the rich red color that it has when bound to oxygen ( oxyhemoglobin ), when seen through the skin it has an increased tendency to reflect blue light back to the eye.

Because dyes get their color from the interaction of electrons in their molecules, the way the electrons can move is determined by the charge and extent of electron delocalization in other ink ingredients.

Because changing ink color in a mimeograph could be a laborious process, involving extensively cleaning the machine or, on newer models, replacing the drum or rollers, and then running the paper through the machine a second time, some fanzine publishers experimented with techniques for painting several colors on the pad, notably Shelby Vick, who created a kind of plaid " Vicolor.

Because of the metallic gold's bright color, the gold jerseys were considered the " light " jersey in the game, so the Vikings wore their purple home jerseys as the " dark " colored team.

Because his exposures were not simultaneous, unsteady subjects exhibited color " fringes " or, if rapidly moving through the scene, appeared as brightly colored ghosts in the resulting projected or printed images.

Because, through the dithering process, the printer builds a single image pixel out of several printer dots to increase color depth, the printer's DPI setting must be set far higher than the desired PPI to ensure sufficient color depth without sacrificing image resolution.

Because of this compatibility requirement, color standards added a second signal to the basic monochrome signal, which carries the color information.

Because SECAM transmits only one color at a time, it is free of the color artifacts present in NTSC and PAL resulting from the combined transmission of both signals.

Because the color information was designed to be a cheap, backwards compatible addition to the monochrome signal, the color signal has a lower bandwidth than the luminance signal, and hence lower horizontal resolution.

Because it cannot be applied in thick layers as oil paints can, tempera paintings rarely have the deep color saturation that oil paintings can achieve.

Because of their color changing quality, this kind of garnet is often mistaken for Alexandrite.

Because of the deep penetration, more layers of material must lose their color before the fading is apparent.

Because of their sometimes showy flowers of white, pink, scarlet or yellow color and often attractively marked leaves, many species and innumerable hybrids and cultivars are cultivated.

Because remembering individual names would be impossible, everyone was given a color and number for easy identification, thus allowing Coward to direct "# 7 red " to cross downstage and shake hands with "# 15 yellow and black.

Because of its slightly gray color, pollock is often prepared, as in Norway, as fried fish balls, or if juvenile sized, breaded with oatmeal and fried, as in Shetland.
