More Than Complete Reversal
Since joining the Part15_us Forum 10-years ago Carl has been a total part 15 pusher, always promoting the "most sophisticated hobby in the world".
The Low Power Hour was invented as a vehicle to get the word out and excite interest in hobby broadcasting.
All that has changed. I no longer believe we should share the hobby with outsiders or promote it to people who weren't smart enough to know about low power broadcasting in the first place.
I am now convinced we should keep the hobby all to ourselves and discourage newcomers by every means necessary.
The other day I realized how terrible it would be if all the neighbors put their own transmitters on the air, showing up on my carefully found frequencies and attempting to steal listeners that I don't even have.
It would lead to a lifetime of rivalry and resentment that would spread through cities and result in physical confrontations that would get out of hand.
From now on we should tell new-be's that there's no way they could understand how to broadcast and tell them all the frequencies are taken.
I've got to convince the ALPB to close membership unless very large amounts of admission fees get paid.

Yeah, that's a very good realization you came to.
What if more people on your street did this....a free for all with little frequency choice. Everyone would be on top of each other.
I tell others what I do if I know they're not going to do it, or they will do it out of range of mine....they live somewhere else!
I don't know about discouraging newbe's as long as they are not in your neighborhood. Most of the members of the ALPB are spread out over the country.

Male Caucasian Ham Radio Operators have been doing that for years. |

I've thought about this too, it's kind of an age-old question for our modern media times.
It's kind of like, if we found out that aliens existed in the heavens, out among the other galaxies and planets, would we Earthlings want to let them know about our world?
If you pass along some knowledge, you never know what someone else is going to do with it, much less retain control over it.
I've wished that more independent low power broadcasters were on the air, I've heard so few home stations, campus broadcasters, and a few drive-in theaters in my lifetime. I'd especially love to hear another real Part-15er in my area, doing some local programming, that would be awesome, I've thought! As a small broadcaster, I feel alone in my part of the galaxy.
For the most part, the vast majority of people seem to be happy just to be consumers, rather than creators. Now people have creation tools right there on the pocket device they use every day, so those who are bent towards creation seem to take that approach nowadays, so I'm not expecting anyone on the air soon.
I'd imagine the personality of anyone who would do P-15 radio would be similar to mine, and I'd wait for contact information to be broadcast and make first contact, at least as a listener.
Another thing I thought of with others doing it, yes, there might be feuds. Even just having a concentration of stations in an area would attract more attention than just one station.

As we recall from school, Caucasians are people of the Caucasus, a region consisting of more than 50 ethnic groups. They alone could overwhelm available part 15 dial space.

The only way I tell anyone how to use a transmitter is if I know they're not into rap or top 40. I will not be responsible for polluting the airwaves any more than they already are.
I thought about creating a sort of album Rock preservation Society whereas they would have to answer questions and if they got them wrong they would not know how to get on the air. Maybe that would be the way to get access to the website.

TheLegacy Goes All China
TheLegacy publishes his manifesto: "The only way I tell anyone how to use a transmitter is if I know they're not into rap or top 40"
Cultural oppression.
