Somewhere between DC and Daylight..
All of you folks with general-coverage receivers may wish to park them on 13.556 LSB and give a listen for 'Omega One Radio'.

The station - which is sitting smack-dab in the middle of the Part 15 segment of the 22M ISM band - is being heard across the U.S. Format is 24/7 music with an occasional ID announcement.

One website I've run across lists its power output at 50w, yet the radiated field strength is purported - by the operator - to be ~1000uV at 17.5 M from the antenna. (Max allowable field strength by a Part 15 station in that frequency range is on the order of 15,000 uV; someone 'did the math' and found that works out to 7.5 milliwatts into an isotropic radiator.)

Some things with the station operator's math just don't add up...it'll be interesting to see how long the outfit remains on the air. Catch it while you can, folks.
