Radio Survivor to hit up LPAM.
« on: August 08, 2017, 1044 UTC »
Boomer alerted me to this,   http://www.radiosurvivor.com/2017/08/07/low-power-lpam/     At the very least, we should still keep the topic alive.

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.

Its a nice idea, but getting LPFM into reality was a 20 year battle with a lot of small groups working behind the scenes to grease all the appropriate orifices of the leviathan that is the commission.  If it was to succeed, I suppose the commission could, in the interest of their AM revitalization policy, incentivize stations to go dark, particularly rimshots into large metros with complex DA's.  Once they have cleaned up the band, then and only then would it be possible to bring something like this to reality.

...And as usual, the places where the licenses would be needed most, in large cities with diverse populations, there would probably be next to no available frequencies...just like LPFM.
