I bought an FM transmitter off ebay about 10 years ago. Its not 30 watts, but its got a big heat sink. I put an antenna on the roof and use it to broadcast the receivers so I can wonder around and listen while I hit the can, brew some tea, etc.
There are a LOT of FM transmitters on ebay, all sorts of power levels, and I don't think its any less legal to buy a 30 watt FM transmitter then it is to buy a 1000 watt AM broadcast transmitter..... If you was to broadcast 30 watts with a good antenna, the FCC would likely be around before long.

That's up to the FCC if they operate it in an illegal fashion. --- On Tue, 3/16/10, D. Chester <[email protected]> wrote: From: D.

Let the broadcast people take care of the problem, if there is one. The commercial FM and AM bands have degenerated to little more than a vast wasteland anyway. I'm far more concerned about all the consumer crap on the market to-day that dumps buzzies and hash all over the HF spectrum, with apparent impunity .
