D. Develop a Part 15 “Unlicensed AM” category for community broadcast use? CF pr
« on: May 14, 2025, 1719 UTC »
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.

“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”
-Attributed to Albert Einstein, but I ripped it from the latest Splatter .PDF March 2025 issue.

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.
