Title: D. Develop a Part 15 “Unlicensed AM” category for community broadcast use? CF pr

Boomer, linked me to another RW rip from the Common Frequency group. https://www.radioworld.com/news-and-business/news-makers/common-frequency-is-a-fierce-radio-activist   I wrote to them and ask about their opinion on an LPAM proposal. Well, they have one. https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/10429808002397/1    (Scroll down to,   "D. Develop a Part 15 “Unlicensed AM” category for community broadcast use")  located at the very bottom of the proposal. I congratulate them, but doubt they'll get it with The NAB to fight that tooth & nail. Then again, you just never know.

Wow.. that's interesting. I dont particuarly like the non-commercial aspect, but yeah 1 watt would be cool  - hadn't this been tried a few times already? - the 1 watt part 15 AM petitions I mean.

It doesn't seem likely, but you never know, especially when you consider the current state of the AM band and the push to keep it in cars in spite.. Maybe some liberties could arise.
