Flea PowerLW/AM/FM/SW/CC RADIO PART 15

Start Your Own Radio Station
Revised 1/23/12

Little known to the general public is the right to legally operate an unlicensed LW (longwave), AM, FM, SW (shortwave) or CC (carrier current) radio station as allowed under Part 15 of the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) Rules using low-power micro-transmitters. The small devices which enable this kind of operation are available from several suppliers.

A personal home radio station is ideal for listening to streaming radio from your computer on radios located upstairs, downstairs, even outdoors in the yard. It's time this technology becomes better known. Here at KDX1 we operate a streaming radio station which circles the worldround web while inside the Internet Building here in North America we enjoy KDX1 on AM, FM or SW radios tuned to our house frequencies. Long wave and carrier current stations are under construction. At your location it would be possible to link KDX1 from computer to radios throughout your living quarters!

As this web page evolves, we'll post links to equipment suppliers as well as other websites devoted to Part 15 AM radio.

Also, we plan to post information regarding basic, high quality radios.

    Further Low Power Radio Discussion

    Since micro-transmitting is legal under Part 15, what is so-called "pirate radio?" Simple. Broadcasting with more power or larger antennas than allowed under Part 15 Rules requires an FCC license, otherwise it is illegal. This LW/AM/FM/SW/CC Radio Part 15 web page and KDX Internet Radio support ONLY legal operation of Part 15 micro-transmitters and in no way promote or encourage unauthorized broadcasting. Apart from that proviso, the history of pirate radio is interesting in itself, and this link tells the story: Wikipedia Pirate Radio . Also, KDX1 brings you "Pirates Week," a journalistic report on pirate radio activity, heard weekly.

    About KDX1 LW/AM/FM/SW/CC
    From Transmitter Ranch

    Public transmission of KDX1 programming takes place on the internet, whereas LW, AM, FM, SW & CC broadcast of KDX1 programming is done within our home campus. Unlike most Part 15 radio stations KDX1 is not reaching for a public audience on the radio bands. Our transmitters provide utility to our internal operation enabling us to receive the signal by radios inside our building and outdoors on the grounds.
