There is a station operating with satellite talk from the Liberty Radio Network with a couple of local availabilities (Keene centered). In checking the FCC database, I see no 105.1 station in the State of New Hampshire. It's operating with a Stereo pilot though all programming is in mono. Me thinks a boot is in the midst. The local breaks mention about an "LRN-FM". Even the talk show host from the 402 area code mentioned about "105.1 down in Manchester". Any thoughts?

105.1 Manchester, NH ?
- Thread starter pqgeorge
- Start date
There is a 105.1 WTOS in Maine but I think it's a Rock station http://www.wtosfm.com
I heard the 105.1 in Manchester too. Looks like they also have a 107.5 in Keene: http://lrn.fm/listen/radio/
They also have instructions on how to build your own pirate right on the website.

I thought it was a pirate!I have money that says it is the "free staters" are behind it. They don't believe in Government so the FCC rules mean nothing to them.
There is a huge contingent of them in Keene, always finding new and interesting ways to screw with the cops

I know some of the people involved in that movement, they are somewhat past Libertarian, way way past.
The guy who does FTL ( Free Talk Live) isn't a bad guy, and I support many of their positions, just not always the tactics they use.
They are a unique bunch of people, google "Ridley Report"

Yup saw that webpage--what kind of range are these stations doing? No doubt more
than a couple blocks! 100 watts maybe? I don't know if the FCC will get complaints
(far enough away from legit stations?* but still illegal)
Radio Free Brattleboro in VT got shut down a few yrs back.
*--one major problem with "Dats Hits" was it was on a first adjacent: 99.7 next to WCRB 99.5

You mentioned on facebook that the signal was pretty powerful in Manch and affecting 105.5?; Ooh maybe JYY's owners can complain and get 'em shut off. There's a chance I may head to Manch/Concord/Keene tomorrow or Monday and can check out...

Scary? A gang with a monopoly on violence (the government) doesn't scare you, but a group of individuals dedicated to non-violence (free staters) does? What the hell is wrong with you?

I assumed on a forum for people who love radio there would be some appreciation of those who desire to be free to use the air waves. Instead, all I see is blind obedience to and worship of bureaucrats and whatever stupid words on papers were written down by stupid politicians from decades ago. Disgusting.
OK I am a Libertarian leaning Republican, I believe in SMALL government. The FSP and I share some opinions. I actually post on one of the NH Liberty forums.
First of all the FSP folks are not violent. I have never ever ever seen them be violent.
They will be passive resistant, they will not co-operate, but NEVER have I known them to be violent. I can't say that about the cops they have interacted with. The FSP folk are very principled and will go to jail before they compromise their position.
But here is where FSP and I differ in opinion.
Radio is very technical, and everyone thinks they should be able to toss up an antenna and enjoy the freedom of speech that is every persons right, BUT when you have an instance like the Brockton pirate, who was screwing up the radio frequencies to control planes at Boston's Logan International Airport, there has to be some sort of system in place to prevent endangering the public, and in the case of radio it is the FCC.
If you remember the 70's CB craze and everyone keying up over each other, running linear amps, etc, and making huge parts of the service unusable, that is what would happen to broadcast radio without controls in place.
How do we make frequencies available? Stop places like U Mass and Boston University from having multiple Non Comm licenses. U Mass Radio is a small time version of Clear Channel. Time Share frequencies is another option. There are lots more if you sat down and thought about it.

No one has the right to have a radio station. No one has the right to hear what they want on the radio. Radio is a business that many of us here work in. No one has a right to just fire up an unlicensed business and start interfering and competing with the licensed ones. Without any of the costs, regulations or restrictions that the rest of us have to work with everyday.
Would it also be for okay for these same folks to open up unlicensed bars. What about TV can we all just start powering up are own TV stations? Maybe jamb Cell sites for fun. Lets just get a fishing boat and join in there's plenty of fish in the sea.
Radio is regulated industry like many others. There are rules and real costs of doing business. A radio station license has no real value without the protections that are supposed to come with it. This idea that a free for all is now okay is just amazing. The FCC needs the full support of other federal agencies perhaps even state and local to help crush this epidemic. Instead they get little or no support because of the recent trend to hate large corporations. I think if folks turned on their TV and found they couldn't get channel 5 due to a TV pirate attitudes might change? But radio on a whole is in so much more trouble that they turn a blind eye or actually support pirates. This is a crazy attitude and it needs to change. There is nothing romantic or special of today's radio pirates. They are illegal small business skirting many regulations, fees and taxes yet competing for the same advertising dollars without any of the costs. You wouldn't support this in any other regulated environment and you shouldn't here. They are criminals running an illegal enterprise plain and simple with no respect of the law.

P.S. Peter I subscribe to the Bill Cosby " Be profound not profane" school of thought.
I'd be thrilled if the Pacifica decision was overturned on First Amendment grounds.
At this point with everyone just saying Eff instead of the F word does Pacifica really do anything anymore? There are enough words out there to use that are not any of THE 7 you can't say on the radio, to render the whole "you can't say" it argument moot.
Do you think for a moment the cRAP stuff that gets airplay, heavily edited, doesn't get the meaning of the unedited version out? Do we really need to censor/edit Kid Rock & Sheryl Crow's duet "Picture" because it has the word Cocaine in it, while playing Clapton's Cocaine without even thinking about it.
Nickleback's " Rockstar" ( great song, schitty band) same thing. Lots of spins, and everyone knows the lyrics, are they really offensive or going to cause the fall of western civilization?

there is more bad engineering than good Ian, Today I wanted to listen to the NASCAR race on WGIR 101.1, but I was in Boston so all I got was splash from 101.3 a pirate.
So then I want to listen to 106.3 out of Nashua, oops pirate on 106.1 blew that idea out of the water.
The Boston area radio market is fully saturated. Using good engineering practices and principles there isn't a vacant spot on the FM dial.
If someone wants to do legit Part 15 broadcasting and not interfere with an existing station, have at it, I'm in favor of it.
But when someone throws up a radio station that interferes with public safety, and tramples on the rights of others, I tend to object.
If and when Internet based car audio ever comes to be, and at some point it will, everyone can be on the radio.
As a pilot, and holder of a First Class FCC ticket, I don't want to be the guy who has the name victim in front of his name because some unlicensed station screwed up my communications with the tower.

... but there isn't anything in Manchester near 105.1, is there? It looks like this station is respecting other people's space and offering programing that you otherwise couldn't get in Manchester. I'm trying to figure out how that harms anyone.
It is all about what is first second, and even 3rd adjacent and not interfering with them
105.5 WJYY is 2nd adjacent and would fall into an interference situation IMHO
104.9 Wolfboro is first adjacent and MIGHT be interfered with depending on power and pattern.
