I am soliciting advice and comments on the following.  I live in a fringe
area for most of the good FM stations that broadcast from Chicago.  I can
receive these broadcasts easily on my radio that connects to my TV antenna,
but clock radios and walkmans get little or nothing.

I think what I need is a limited area FM transmitter so that I can use my
walkman while out on the tractor.  It's a two hour job to mow and I sure
would like to listen to the radio (note: radio, not tapes!).  I'd also like
my other radios playing my choice of music which includes other FM stations,
discs, or reel tapes from the stereo.  Here is my wish-list:

	*) stereo hi-Z audio inputs
	*) range of about 500' radius (is this legal?)
	*) signalling input; i.e. maybe I can detect a phone ringing
	   or some other signal and 'beep' my remote radio.

I sure would appreciate any pointers on available equipment, legal req's,
similar experience, how-would-you-do-its, and any other comments.  Please
try to mail to me, even if you post a followup.
