Hey, nothing wrong with a grass-roots ad campaign like that. It's targeted, that's for sure. You may want to do it once a month and vary the campaign with some kind of promotional.
My plan is to record live local bands and air the recordings the following week and was thinking of having a banner made to put up in the club with the station logo, name, frequency and something to indicate that we're in the house. Then follow that up with an ad in the local paper indicating that we will be playing the concert on such and such a date. Maybe offer the recordings for sale as well as promotional give-aways.
Visibility is a key to attracting listeners (yeah I know, the FCC too. But there won't be anything in my set up that will be illegal).

I think that is the key of how not to be worried. Everything is legal they wont bother you. I have comfort in using a certified transmitter. I put it on all my ads. Truth is the odds of having a problem with the output that we have is remote. Add on to that of having a certifed transmitter, one can feel confident that they are a good path.

But there is more to being legal than having a certified transmitter. The transmitter also has to be used in a legal way, by connecting it to an antenna system whose radiating structure does not exceed 3 meters (including the total length of the conducting path from the tx chassis to physical earth).

So you believe that we both are in the same city running a part15 compliant transmitter, ie. 100mw, 3 meter antenna, and similar grounding system, except you are running a 'certified' transmitter and I'm running the SStran, that the FCC will stop by both our sites and review the equipment we have and you will be dismissed while I'll have a NAL or be told to stop transmitting or face fines? Is this the stance that you take? I can asssure you, you couldn't be more wrong, without starting another rant here about this issue as it's a dead horse being beaten again!

Using an elevated 3-meter antenna with a long ground path to physical earth for "Part 15" AM is nothing close to the broken wiper analogy. The greater radiation from an elevated antenna system can produce the same field strength as using a tx with 10X the power of a "certified" tx on a antenna that IS 3-meters long (including the path to physical earth).
To carry on with the stolen car analogy, the cops would see a car doing 100mph in a 35mph zone.

Re: FCC is not hunting for certified transmitters
Well first of all if I was using my sstran and carl's antenna with the hose clamps I would not go more then two blocks. So I would not have that problem. In reference to certified and not certified I did not say not certified is illegal. The frame of our conversation here in reference to the law in
Florida that has many nervous. The idea of committing a felony via part 15. The point I was bringing out that if one accidentally crossed over the line of some other broadcast and was visted by the fcc, I think in that case where they were using a certified fcc unit they will be treated in a lighter fashion.

I cannot tell you if is indeed the truth what you are saying, however I have conducted investigations for over 20 years as a PI. I do understand law enforcement and I also understand what is bothering the fcc here in florida. The are really upset at the pirates and I am sure they are getting alot of pressure from the radio stations in the area. Most stations in florida are priced in the millions of dollars and they dont want some dance club killing their signal every sat night. This is the priority.

I would challenge anyone here if they went into South Florida with the Rangemaster, set up a part15 station there, broadcast for less than 1-2 weeks and see if you are not arrested or fines imposed on you, not by the FCC but by law enforcement officers who don't understand the FCC regulations regarding part15 certified equipment, and who is going to wait to go to trial to show them evidence that it's 'part15 type certified'!
Simple... no transmitting a broadcast message or music that is contrary to the views of the licensed broadcasters, that view is no broadcasting, pirate or legal... period!

I think you are not professional at all. You belittle the fact a customer spent over a week of their time trusting your overbaked claims on your website. You sent the antenna with no hole for the wire to connect to the metal pipe...you told me to do it myself! The wire from the coil didnt reach the bottom of the copper pipe to install it to it...you told me i should i fix that as well. So i did those things and i did all the things you told me to do in the emails and I did all the things that sstran told me to do on the emails. I really wanted it to work and you kept up you encouragement and i kept at it until i spent so many days on it ..i felt like a fool for dealing with this thing. I did buy paypal insurance for satisfaction guarantee, and i invoked it after i tried to talk to you about it. To make it look like i am doing this to get something for free is plain old stupid! I have given over 50 thousand dollars for broadcasting in the past three years, I would not stoop to such things and you should be ashamed of such a statement.
