If you invest in a 100mw Part 15 AM transmitter and find yourself a

nice
clear spot on the BCB, you can play announcer to your heart's content.


Part 15 device are never have nor are attended for broadcasting. Part 15
device are short range as a matter of fact part 15 device are suppose to
have the range to cover a person's yard. I know it can be said that a

part
15 device can go farther, however part 15 was not attended for that
purpose.

Funny story: I used to use a Part 15 device on CB channel 14, 27125 kHz,

to
practice CW with my niece. She lived approx. 15 linear miles away and we
were able to copy each other FB through some pretty "CBish" QRM.


Part 15 power range depends o the frequency and band for example on the AM
band it is 100 miliwatts while on the FM broadcast band it's 250 microvolt
per meter at 3 meters. on 13 MHz. the power is 10,000 microvolts per meter
at 30 meters.

BTW, the trick to remaining legal while "getting out" with a Part 15

device
is to get the device itself as high as humanly/safely possible. The power
and key cables were then brough down into the shack. A seperate high
performance rcvr rounded out the package. No coax loss because...no coax.
Just comply with the ERP restrictions and let your height be your might.
Fond memories indeed.


I would have no problem with Part 15 device except I think the one thing
holding part 15 device back is that some community tight restriction on
antenna heights.
