You could set up a 100 watt station and get the range of WYGG, further if you can get you antenna up higher. You can pick up a 10 or 20 watt transmitter for a few hundred dollars. All you need is a small mixer, a laptop, some DJ software and you are on the air. You can automate it so you never have to be there.
Twenty watts will give you about three good miles depending on the height of the antenna. The FCC doesn't have time to mess with pirate stations as long as you don't interfere with other stations and keep the obscenity down, but in NJ they have their own state law that makes it a felony to operate any sort of radio transmitting equipment without a license. 104.7 looks open. ________________________________ From: Jack Pitzer <hing...@yahoo.com> To: AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, January 23, 2009 9:16:50 AM Subject: [AsburyPark] Re: Save GRock What about a smaller station, like a pirate one, that has a smaller power output and broadcasts to a "micro market". --- In asburyp...@yahoogro ups.com, Mike Hemeon <tvnetdude2000@ ...> wrote: > > Since there are no more frequencies to be had, the only way to create such a > station would be to buy a radio station and change the format OR perhaps take your chances on a pirate station. You might aproach the non-comm stations that are at the college and universities to program at least a few hours a day of GROCK type programming.
