Ithinktheyshould have opened up a new radio band exclusively for lpfm
broadcasting.

Then the full-power broadcasters wouldn't be able to use the excuse
they're
using now.

Of course then, they would have used some other excuse.


They would have had to tell the truth.... that they were afraid that
something fresh, new and local would erode their listener base, and therefor
their profits..

Of course the licenses the FCC did issue, for the most part, are a total
waste of spectrum space. Who really listens to garbage like TIS and garbage
dump hours, or more religeous stations (seems to me there are plenty of
those already on the air, including about a thousand satelators for a couple
large Christian stations).

It's too bad the NAB doesn't get their members to back off on the modulation,
so that the signal is cleaner and interferes less with adjacent NAB members. I
can't hardly use the stereo lock and AFC features on my receiver anymore. I
have to detune slightly to keep an undesired station from grabbing control.

As for uBC, here's the URL for a new Microbroadcasters Association (It's still
mostly under construction):

For the new ones in this group, take a look at the uBC equipment available at:
