We can only have 1 antenna and transmitter. From a cost point of
view co-locating it at Noisebridge is the best.<br>
<br>
It has been a long day. I will investigate on the government
sites tomorrow. Call this an initial heads up. We only have 2
months to get it together.<br>
<br>
As for transmitting a show, it is likely that we could set up an
internet feed and do pre-recorded. I will fimd out.<br>

<div>An auditory riff off of that thing somebody brought to a

talking about getting a part of the Radio Spectrum for
Noisebridge. Well here it is. I can work out the technical
parts but somebody else needs to take care of the filings.
The window of opportunity is October 15-29, 2013 and for
the first time urban stations will be allowed. The license
holder must have been in the community for at least 2
years.<br>
<br>
The range is about 10 miles although given our location at
the bottom of a valley I wouldn't bet on it. With this
power it is line-of-sight. We should be able to hit
Dolores Park and most of the Market Street area from the
Civic Center North. Bayview and Hunter's Point? Forget it
there is a hill in the way. These are just guesses.<br>
<br>
We need to prove that we won't interfere with existing
stations. That starts with just walking around the Mission
and listening to your FM Radio. The more technical details
I will work out with some modeling software later.<br>
<br>
The FCC is giving extra points to stations that will be on
the air at least 20 hours a day and is "publicly
accessible". A good time to reach out to our neighbors. I
am assuming that some of that can be pre-recorded or
streamed in from the net. If it is coming over the net we
will need to be very careful about who has access. There's
that whole no profanity rule.<br>
<br>
So let us get K - - - on the air. KNOS, NBRG, KNOI are all
taken and it must start with a K, West of the Mississippi
and all.<br>
<br>
So here are some of the relevant web sites:<br>
