AP, I posted the following on the "Pirate Radio" thread:

I went into research mode and unfortunately, you seem to have some facts confused.

First of all, the Part 15 regulations on unlicensed low power transmitters are referring to devices such as cordless phones, baby monitors, garage door openers, etc. this is not micro-broadcasting.

There are carrier current stations, also known as campus radio stations. In these, the signal is transmitted along a standard electrical wire, will not pass through a transformer, and only have about a 200 foot range. These can ONLY be operated by educational institutions.

The other low-powered stations MUST be licensed by the FCC, and I have yet to find anything saying that they do not have to pay royalties to the PROs.

BTW, my degree is in Broadcast Production Technology and I have over twenty years under my belt working in radio and TV.
