We already have our FM transmitter up and running on 106.5 FM. Check out our page for some details: http://www.mikeandheather.net/lights/

That's right it is just your first year Mike. You read about the Power Distribution and it said "display can draw over 38 000 watts of power at peak periods which is equivalent to 317 amps at 120 volts" Wow that's a lot of power.
He hee if you do the same over the years then you started out with to small of a back board to hook it all up too.

Wish I could drive by and see and listed to your setup Milk. Will have to wait for your video.

Can't do Utube well due to dial-up. Cuts in and out. Saw a bit, and it is great.

Awwwwwww...
What a fantastic display! You and Heather have done a tremendious job, (and your Mom and Dad too ). All of the utube videos were great, but I espically liked the "Wizzards of Winter" one!! Thanks for sharing it with us here!

ps..I liked the effect that it gave, with whatever camera you used, as the lights had a nice soft look to them!
