FCC BUST IN TEXAS
 

Hey Folks,
Kinda down at the moment, our college radio station got busted by the
FCC. Here a list of the stuff that was hauled off:

NRG PLL-PRO 3 20W TRANSMITTER
NRG 220 WATT RF LINEAR AMPLIFIER
NRG PRO III STEREO CODER
NRG PRO III STEREO LIMITER COMPRESSOR
DAIWA CN-101L SWR+POWER METER
COMET CFM-95SL 5/8 WAVE ANTENNA
50 FEET OF LMR 400 COAX
KENWOOD R-1000 SW RECEIVER (my fathers old short-wave radio?)

The really weird part is that we WERE NOT transmitting at the time of
the raid. One of the agents tolds us that they traced us through a
purchase order from Broadcast-Warehouse! It's true that we bought a
150w amp from broadcastwarehouse.com a few weeks ago. How did the FCC
know about that?

Anyways, we will rebuild the station and continue to fight the globle
interests of the MEGA-MACHINE.

DEATH TO THE MEGA-MACHINE!

:( ! Not good. Theres a new pirate radio station here
in north Austin today. plays gen'xer's tunes from time to
time. Some old hank williams one day last week. We
need more low pwer fm stations on! Nice to hear other
stations rather than the typical crap of bla bla ads on reg
fm stations!
In austin, tx its either country or rock-roll! What
about some laid back music from the 70's or 60's, and
no im not getting a xm radio, another rip-off!

Best tunes going around now hr in central TX is TX rebel
radio, out of Fredricksburg, TX.
107.9 on fm dial, laid back type music, old Arlo
Guthrie, some janice joplin at times, good old stuff!

SNIPPED


Was that station licensed? (If so, callsign?)

200 watt amplifier? That isn't a low power FM station.

If you were operating illegally, what is your complaint?

Oh come on, he NEEDS a linear amp so that he can effectively broadcast
splatter when he clips!

An RF amp doesn't NEED to be linear to broadcast FM, but a linear amp of the
proper frequency range will most certainly work for FM broadcast.

Any college supported radio station that's operating illegally deserves to
be shut down. Doesn't say much about the institution's ethics...

Are you implying that FM is AB1

I would think that a Class C transmission would use a linear amplier; but
what do I know?
