<br>
To protect myself and my Ham license I will be at the Tuesday
meeting and resign as "Radio Officer". I didn't want the job in
the first place and now I can leave it. In addition I will need to
change our FCC records to reflect that. A single "station" is
fine. Range about 200 ft., maybe 500 feet. Multiple "meshed"
stations may bring the FCC down around our heads.<br>
<br>
After I resign if you want to put Noisebridge in danger of having
$10,000 fines it will be on your head.<br>

<div>So what if you combined that with a "mesh" aspect, and you
could create pocket stations around the city</div>

<div>Seems like it would make for a fun kit as well, building
mini fm transmitters & receivers.</div>

<div dir="ltr">When I filed I was afraid
that that the physical distance might be
a problem. I filed for channel 215 (90.9
MHz). In the Bay Area there just isn't
much / anything available. The best
candidate frequency 102.5 had 8
different organizations file for it in
San Francisco alone. In many ways the
FCC rules haven't kept up with
technology. The reason for the distance
/ adjacent channel rules have to do with
selectivity and signal rejection. Due to
the nature of FM radio if you have 2
transmitters on the same frequency
(generally) a radio will only pick up
the most powerful signal and you won't
hear the weaker one at all.

<div>It was an interesting experiment.

<div>PS. Is there a place to store paper
records at Noisebridge. I can keep
them however as time goes by they may
get misplaced or forgotten and if
anybody deals with the FCC for any
reason in the future they may be
necessary. It would better if they
were stored up there.</div>
