More studies from me tonight as I've bookmarked the total list of field NOUO's. I can see more clearly why even asking for 1,000 uV/M @ 3 meters may get shot down the first second the petition is created. Maryland didn't even publish the field strength but lots of activity in NY around the Brooklyn and Bronx areas. All well below 1,000 uV/M at 3 meters. This message seems to ring in my head loud and clear that soon the only place to play Radio will be AM. I don't even think we can get 87.9 temporarily out of the gray areas. Field strengths in the 600's will get you busted I'm sure even 300-400 would as well. I'm sure it was not a Whole House FM Transmitter at the secret power level. At this rate more like a Belkin with a wire soldered to the PC board as an antenna or C. Crane with a lead wire clipped to the antenna without turning up the put. Some of the 700 and above may have been a certified transmitter like the Whole House FM Transmitter modified or at secret power. Question too is what about the Ramsey transmitters we know are just a little higher than 250 uV/m? I could not understand why folks were dead set against the PRO FM movement or initiative and now that I had a chance to calm down, Study, Look, Listen and meditate on what the information should be saying to me is that trying to get more field strength for every user in all cities of the USA will NEVER work. I'm sure only if we had 87.9 Mhz it may have been possible or petition the FCC to allow 1,000 uV/M on a city by city basis. How would anyone do this? I'm just thinking of soon giving up FM I'm sorry but it might not be a good idea and it really seems like it could be a waste no matter how bad we really want this and believe me I WANT THIS. But studies show me little chance with all the translators and more AM stations wanting to be on FM. I'm going to continue to see what the Talking House AM transmitter will do. So far my FM signals are not gaining me any extra listeners in my local area as no one locally contacted me by the Rockline and NO Elizabeth City NC IP's are showing up in the stats of Icecast V2. It tells me that the range I am getting on FM isn't enough to get people to hear me to try my Internet station which was my intent in the first place. And I'm not jacking up my FM power. If anything I'll lower the FM power to the -48dbm setting on the SainSonic AX-05B and use the 87.9 Mhz only as a link to the AM transmitter or better yet try and use my own Wifi trick to link it to a smartphone that is not active and plug it into the AM Transmitter and put the AM transmitter on the second floor as Station8 suggested. I'll still try with the petition if you guys want but as Tim says Music and just because we want to be heard won't work and now that I published the WiFi trick the FCC may simply tell us to try Wifi Radio or AM or Internet Radio instead. Again it hurts me to have to admit defeat here. I'm not one to give up easily. But if I thought I'd win i'd keep pushing ra ra ra but really I'd go down as an insane maniac who wants Power over the airwaves. I don't condone this jamming of other stations and wars either. If we increase the strength for FM without the forcing the manufacturers to have the scan before transmitting done we'll really mess up FM worse than it is already for many of the US citizens living in metro areas. That too is something I can't live with either. I had to fight myself as I write this. Its against every bone in my body to admit this fact but guys its true. Its not the fault of NAB, SBE, whatever whatever its a fact of science 101. More people means more stations, more inter mod, more possible RF interference. We'd have a better chance at forcing the manufacturers of receivers to start filtering the Radio's better and be more sensitive for AM and FM. This will help some. Even that stands a chance of getting shot down but its less insane that the making High Power part 15 FM for everyone. Secondary service well we learned about LP-10. Heck even LPFM is in jeopardy. Lets try and work with AM and come up with ways to improve it. Album Rockers will just have to deal with the laws that be and science. They want Stereo buy an AM stereo receiver. They could start donating to my station not just one company that has been giving $100-200 a pop for the equipment I use to run my station. That one company has done a lot just wish others would help and not complain when my Internet acts up and some skipping happens. I know Progressive Rock is picky but if they don't pay the bills I say they should not complain about Mono till I can figure out AM Stereo. Like I said if you want to push on we'll see where it goes but I'm getting Emails from people who don't want to lose what they have and really don't want to have me push so hard. So with that from what I've learned it just won't get us more power on FM. Now if I got it wrong tell me and we'll try a strategy. But how do you deal with these facts?
