FM Free Radio / Has anyone ever been an SCA pirate?

« on: September 30, 2013, 0051 UTC »

Has anybody ever put an FM transmitter in their car, put their recorded program onto an FM subcarrier of either 67 or 92 kHz, put the subcarrier into the FM transmitter, parked outside of a place of business such as a fast food place and heard their program on the loudspeakers in the place of business? I had thought of doing that but never got around to doing it. Now of course it's too late because background music has gone to satellite, cable and internet delivery.

It may have been an old satellite radio add-on that had the too powerful transmitter. Before I retired in March 2008 I would hear them on 87.9 and 88.1 MHz while driving to and from work between my home in Mount Prospect, IL and work, usually in Libertyville IL but sometimes in other offices too. Sometimes during the workday in the company car (phone company) I'd tune to 87.9 & 88.1 and hear a dead carrier from a parked car for at least a city block either side of the car. There was also some a-hole in the Northbrook Illinois area who had a too powerful in-car transmitter on 91.5 which is the NPR station I listen to. If there was an important article I wanted to hear I had to pull over and wait for that jerk to get several blocks ahead of me in traffic.
