Shortwave Pirate Radio In North America And Around The World, And Other Signals That Go Bump In The Night
We seek to understand and document all radio transmissions, legal and otherwise, as part of the radio listening hobby. We do not encourage any radio operations contrary to regulations.
Always consult with the appropriate authorities if you have questions concerning what is permissible in your locale.
There are many pirates on FM in the US that do operate 24/7 and sell commercials to local businesses at a much lower rate than Licensed stations. The ones that run a tight ship have operated for years Until there were enough complaints from Licenced Broadcasters to send in the Marshalls to take their equipment and take them off the air. Others get the Knock much sooner if they run Splatter Boxes.

It would be so fun to be able to pirate 24/7 and maybe even have commercials to make money

The RF Workbench / Re: Stretchyman “40W TX” Failure Investigation and Remediation
« on: June 02, 2020, 0330 UTC »
Interesting failure analysis.. Nicely done.. But.. the design is basically a hobbyist kit and well... you know how that can go... Now that you know the shortfalls I'm sure you can fix it yourself and improve the basic design and share your findings with other who also bought this Tx so they can also benefit from it. Now if you want Broadcast Quality... I know a guy..

I use two different Outros Pink Floyd Marooned also an Air check and a Synth Outro.. I have changed them over the years.. I have used the same interval signal now for 6+ years Elton Johns Bitter Fingers just the intro repeated and I always close with the National Anthem.
