and yes, Ham radio has crossed my mind, except the sound quality sucks and i want to spin live music mixes (and talk if something is urgent of course) but you are right Ham radio may be used if some kind of electronic collapse happened.

thanks for the inputs

But you are right about how an everyday person can't just buy their own FM station.  Not happening.   It's a conspiracy methinks.

As far as broadcasting on commercial FM frequencies, you can -- sort of.  You are allowed to broadcast using extremely low-power transmissions on frequencies that are unused in your area.  Kits are available that let you do this.  Since the power is limited, it will be most effective if you're in a densely populated area and the transmitter is at the highest altitude possible.

If you're interested in the subject, though, ham radio is an excellent place to start.  We may all be addicted to our cellphones and internet, but if the systems go down, ham radio is one technology -- probably the only one -- that will empower people to communicate over long distances.  If you're interested check out http://www.arrl.org.

the Broadcasting Conspiracy.

i dont know how many of you are into music, i know a few of you are- but i love music. i like to share beats or listen to others talents, share music etc. i curently broadcast an internet radio stream via the internet. that is fun.

but i wish i could broadcast an FM station in my area. that is the idea that struck my mind. that would be awesome because people flipping thru channels in their car would land upon my station, and its local so its people in my area- bla bla it goes on and on but u get the point- it would be cool.

so, why can't i do this? because the government is ALL OVER AM/FM Broadcasting. they slapped all sorts of laws and requirements and runarounds and paperworks that make it, well NEAR IMPOSSIBLE for a single person to get an FM station up & running.

so i began thinking how ABSURD THIS IS. then i really landed on an IDEA:

imagine if we were allowed to broadcast on radio without all these stupid restrictions... wouldnt our communities be able to communicate much easier? wouldnt we be able to help each other out much easier this way? we all have radios, imagine you could broadcast anything u want (as long as its content is not R or X rated) you could send a signal for help if u needed, you could broadcast what products you have at your store, you could promote your business or whatever.

basically my main realization is that we could broadcast information to each other so much better if we were allowed to use FM radio technology.

the conspiracy is

they dont let us use FM radio technology because if they did we would communicate much better, people would hear ALL SIDES of the STORY, not just the government controlled hogwash.

society would be much better i think if we could communicate using all the technology that we have discovered... why cant we appreciate these wonderful technolgies for the better of mankind??
