Had a similar request from a large church that I was working Midnight Security for , They knew I was a Ham and They ask if I could set them up a FM Broadcast station , so when they have Plays and Service the Pastor could have someone Translate it to English for the Spanish spacing church members He would get some cheap FM type walkmans .
I said sure Have you already applied for a lic or have one , He stated oh don't worry about that it will be low power and they would have Me find a clear spot . Well I politely told them My Ham Radio Lic would be at risk and I could not do it , So they had someone get on E-Bay and ordered a 25 Watt FM Transmitter and outside ant and have been on the Air for 2 Yrs . They have almost the coverage of My 2 Repeaters Good Luck Don KA9QJG PS Being a nice Person and helping do something illegal Can always come back in bite you in your A*&^ I do not know of many Lic Two Way shops that will risk their Lic to do stuff like This , and Most for some reason Hate Ham Radio Operators for some reason They think We carry ourselves as knowing Everything where in the heck would they get that idea lol From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:repeater-buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of MCH Sent: Tuesday, July 13, 2010 8:38 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] question for commercial radio shops Explain to him that it's not legal, and tell him you would not be comfortable doing something that is not legal, as you could jeopardize your FCC license(s) which you have worked very hard to earn. You can even show him the Part 95 rules where it has the limitations on what equipment you can use - including the part about the antennas being non-removable. Joe M.
