There will be a lot of headaches with FCC regs. We will be perfectly by the 
book and I have a broadcast engineer on staff with 20 years experiance. 
She's having kittens. If I had told her I was planning on giving birth to a 
water buffalo I think she would have taken it better than when she was asked 
to come on to help with the Avalon project.....lol

Tuneing will be a BIG part here. There will be transmitted energy, we only 
have to get it in a reasonable amount and freq. If I can notch it into a 
freq noone uses (good luck) than the FCC will be kind. They are not known 
for their sence of humour.

As far as radiated energy levels, we have to do computer modeling before we 
will have any idea.

Depending on range, yes.

1M Radius, a lake, woods, and a highway.
5M Radius and airport (big one), and a city.




>What will your liabilities for damages be?

Ungodly. I am thinking at LEAST $1,000,000 for damages and liability, though 
probably MUCH more, like 400% more.

Maybe I'll get it UL listed.....lol

Whatever the FCC requires us to have. The problem is that that alone can 
easily double the budget requirements. Having government assistance for this 
will be a great help. Guys like the NSF, NEA, and others will LOVE to have a 
toy like this built and have the power to "bend" the rules for us.

These are great questions that I want to know the answers to myself. But 
there are 500 listees out there with call signs that know much mroe than I 
do about these ones so I'll let them answer them. I have no idea, I'm just 
the idiot in charge, so I'm not allowed to know everything that's going 
on....lol
