A Legal Unlicensed Broadcasting "Activist Group"?

There is little difference between a Two Way Radio license and a Broadcast License. Let me explain myself in depth. On Two way Radio you cannot use offensive language neither can a Broadcaster (Radio Station). This includes offensive music.



Ham and GMRS your supposed to ID yourself every 10 minutes. Your issued a Call Sign in the same way as Broadcast Radio station is except that a Broadcaster (Radio Station) has to ID on top of the hour Example : C-Quam AM Stereo 1640 WAQM The Legacy Deltaville, VA. If I were a legal station that would be required. So if they can issue a license for GMRS they can also issue a license in the same way for a Hobby Radio Station (Oh I forgot you don’t like that word) so we will say General User Radio Station which could be individually owned, Community, Church group, Club, Public safety announcements.



What are you trying to do PUT A MONKEY WRENCH IN THE WORKS? I ask this because it seems as though certain folks no matter what we do or say wants to put an end to our efforts some don’t even own a transmitter itself. Are you an NAB spokesperson hired to do just that discourage a Radio operator from a Real Audience (Range)? All we have on you is a Handle on the net. No way to verify who you are. You could be the president of the NAB for all we know.



We are working on a NEW LAW which the FCC recommended we do to make a New section (Separate from part 15) for Hobby Broadcasters. Remember New Zealand has a General User Radio service. Canada has BETS-1 which has rules no swearing, no political talk but this service we have been proposing would insist a call sign or License Number. The FCC would know who you are in the same way. Some rules are not written but common sense rules for Radio. Technically even CB though unlicensed does have rules. Technically your not supposed to not cause interference and not use bad language and only use 4 Watts AM and 12 PEP SSB. As many Cbers received a NOUO for using illegal RF amplifiers because the CB itself under certification IS their GENERAL RADIO USER LICENSE. Breaking those rules means your operating without a license see how simple that is?



What is Broadcasting? Simple answer is sending a signal receivable to a non discriminating audience. This means anyone with a receiver within Range can pick you up. A Radio Station has to follow the PICN (Public Interest Convenience and necessity). An individual running a station can do this. An EAS can be built for cheap. Hell some new bluetooth and Car Radios today have a built in EAS that goes off no matter what. A ghetto rig way to make your station comply with EAS is to simply use a converted car stereo with Ding Ding Ding Bluetooth. Now when an emergency comes up the built in EAS will break into your programming. See how simple we just added an EAS to The Legacy for CHEAP!!!!!



Our proposed Easy To Get Licensed Service would have checks and balances to assure our little 10 Watt stations (Or even 1 Watt with no or little antenna ground restrictions) would achieve a Full Quieting signal for 2-3 miles enough to cover a small village. This “It can’t Happen approach only allows big corporations to continue their monopoly business model. However what we propose is fair for everyone. Think High School stations and Collage stations who can no longer or could not afford a full fledged LPFM (or LPAM clone of the LPFM) set up. Our proposal makes an even playing field for these situations.



Some folks who work for the very entities who are trying to put a hard core damper on our proposal refuse to see the writing on the wall in BIG BOLD PRINT. So I’ll say this in laymen terms. Suppose GM, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, all decided Nope no more AM recceivers in their cars as AM is just not worth anything. You can operate your mega watt Radio station covering all 50 states on AM but if you have NO RECEIVERS and the FCC doesn’t allow you to put up a translator you have what? ZERO LISTENERS unless they figure how to make their brains into an AM Radio to receive a signal. So make all the Radio Stations you want for AM you get the same zero+zero equals Zero. AM is Dying because there are fewer and fewer automobiles with receivers to demodulate your signal into something a human can hear. Yes a hobbyist can buy an AM receiver and install it in the car. But most folks Today if the car does not have a Radio its off to their smartphone. This is where Hobby Radio on AM will flourish because hobbyists have a brain to buy a Good AM Receiver. Even know how to convert a car Radio to a house Radio with a CB power supply, a cabinet to put the Radio in and an antenna and Vala instant High Sensitive Radio. This is where AM listening will become only for the Hobby Radio Geek and the rest of the millennial generation you know the ones Big Radio wants to attract with Top40 and Rap will cease to exist for they don’t have a receiver to hear you unless you give them Good Reason to buy such equipment.



Now put some good programming on AM, attract Radio geeks, Dxers, niche formats on AM you’ll have some listeners. AM Radio already has a death sentence by more and more cars with no AM receiver. This is laymen enough that all should understand the scenario I just painted for you.



Lets talk about Gain. You are allowed a 10 Ft antenna. Some really good antenna designs require NO GROUND as the shape of the antenna is part of the counterpoise. You really need to look at the Red Horse 1620 antenna he made. Its High Gain.



Explaining Gain the simple Cber way. A “Legal CB Radio has 4 Watts AM to the final. 3 db gain equals 8 watts to the antenna in Effective Radiated Power (ERP). Even part 15 can have ERP. 6 db Gain wou will multibly 4 times two for 3 db and then another 2 for 6 db. Every 3 db gain doubles your ERP. So if you make a good antenna with loading coils that conduct electricity such as 10 gauge copper house wire works better than 1 10th inch stranded copper see what I mean. Use inductance and your pushing that signal up the top of the antenna. This is what some try and achieve with a Top Hat. Red horse figured the right spacing to ADD GAIN to the antenna. Beam Antennas work very well too.



Be careful how your ATU is constructed as well. I’ve seen some folks use Way Too Much Jumper Wire between the tuning capacitor and coils. I won’t go into this any further. Watch your loss you’ll get more Range. The FCC does not go after operators for Range alone Watch how your covverage effects the stations around you. If you pick an unclear frequency its your own fault. You can also choose to go off air at night to avoid your stations ability to Skyware, Skip causing interference and a complaint from a licensed station or listener. There are Web SDR’s check them don’t get lazy.

Here is an example Chart that may explain what we're trying to accomplish at New Radio Revolution!!
Please look carefully and you'll see what we are trying to achieve on our vision of LPAM (Low Power AM service).

"AM Radio already has a death sentence by more and more cars with no AM receiver. This is laymen enough that all should understand the scenario I just painted for you".

Legacy, can you pinpoint which cars for example don't have am AM/FM radio? I think you may be mistaken.
