  1. #Radio #FCC #Part15 #HFUnderground
    HF Underground's Fediverse bot just posted a link to a new thread about proposing a Part 15 arrangement for community radio, something about 1 watt. Of course I wanted more information--clicked on the link, found the thread was started by ThaDood, who also had a signature line worth repeating. I quote as follows:
    """""""""""""""""""
    “I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
    is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
    meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
    exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”
    -Attributed to Albert Einstein, but I ripped it from the latest Splatter .PDF March 2025 issue.

    How can this be legal?
    #FCC #Part15 explicitly prohibits the jamming and interference of other Part 15 devices.

    Can someone that knows more about this stuff chime in and ELI5?

  8. Last night I dreamt that April 1 was a day for #Part15 low-power TV broadcasts, and I was walking around Washington DC with a specially designed analog TV to tune them in.

    It felt so real (and exciting) that I had to search online when I woke up to convince myself it isn't a thing. But maybe it should be?

  12. Looks like the #FCC is going after major retailers selling low-powered FM transmitters that are not actually #Part15 compliant for unlicensed operation. They put out too much power, work outside of 88 - 108MHz or have detachable antennas. The Tx come from otherwise legit brands like Rolls & Decade. So far the FCC has notified B&H and Broadcast Supply Warehouse to stop selling them. First time I've heard of such actions in at least a decade.
