It was (guessing) 2005 when I ordered and built the first AMT3000, using a glue stick to paste the enclosed white wire up the wall which gave a good indoor signal. It would be several years before I woke up about the advantage of good grounding.
In March 2007 I broke through the digital wall and began experimental test streaming by Shoutcast, the last stunbling block having been "port forwarding."
KDX Worldround Radio was formally dedicated on June 1, 2007 and has been making noise ever since.
My station serves me with hand-selected programming that I'd enjoy hearing if anyone else broadcast it, but they're not, so I am. Two transmitters are in use now, but only one at a time.
While indoors it's the AMT3000 which blankets the house with a solid signal, and when outdoors or driving in the area it's the AMT5000 which screams out farther than I would be comfortable with at all times. It gets shut-down unless I'm outside.
Carrier current and shortwave are side-tracked awaiting touch-up engineering, and long wave is still a schematic on paper.
As far as "the community" is concerned, I don't know them and would feel silly providing unsolicited programs on the assumption they'd have any interest. As far as I can tell they gather for superbowl, baseball and other sports viewing on their home theaters, make cell-phone calls while driving SUVs, or export dog feces and urine up and down the street during dog walks.
The licensed stations continue spewing their bottomless sports talk and recycled gospel stories but I do scan them as a way of re-discovering how wonderful my personal radio station is.
The Part 15 and low power stations of the world have become the talent sanctuaries in preservation of radio art, elderly disk jockies and inventive engineering.
