Be very careful - keep your FM transmitters under the Part 15 limits or you
might get busted! Putting a big antenna on even a low power unit will
exceed
the allowed limits
I won't worry about it as long as the signal is not audible beyond the
boundaries of my property. I live on 100 acres, and it's not anyone's damn
business what rf environment I generate within the confines. In order to
get coverage from the house to the ham shack, I need about 100 feet of solid
range. The nearest house nextdoor to me is about 1000 ft. away.
Even here, a relatively rural part of the country, the FM band is pretty
well loaded. There are only a handful of open channels in the entire band.
I suspect if a weak signal did leak across my property line, it would be
totally swamped out because of the capture effect of FM.
I'm not interested in transmitting on cell phone frequencies or SHF ham
bands. I just want to extend the range of streaming audio to all the
existing FM radios in my house and hamshack. This is not an amateur radio
type of project. I'd rather concentrate my experimenting and building to my
actual ham station. I am just looking for a high quality, low power
transmitter than can be made to work with a minimum of effort and hassle.
