Our church is doing something similar, but staying at home.  You can support up 
to 100 attendees on Zoom.  Suggest getting folks warmed up on this, as it will 
take us a good week or more to get people informed on how to download and use.

One alternative might be to use the Facebook "Live" feature, with both
audio and video, to broadcast from one mobile device live to other mobile
devices via Facebook, instead of FM vehicle radios or using PA speakers.

Okay, maybe they aren’t “turning the dial” quite like the old days, but if you 
want your display to be heard, you need an FM transmitter.. Even though setting 
up some large PA speakers might seem like a good idea, you’ll quickly lose the 
friendship of your neighbors!

Marty,

I've read the same thing - somewhere - but I can't find anything permitting it 
in the regs, so I don't know if it's true.  If it is, I imagine it would be for 
things like bluetooth devices that are designed to pump spotify from your phone 
through your car's radio.  If so, I'd suspect that "100 feet" is a dreamy 
maximum, and that it would sound terrible in the real-life scenario you 
describe.

But as always, FleaBay to the rescue: a 6-watt FM transmitter!  For just a 
hundred bucks, you can start your very own pirate radio station anywhere on the 
commercial FM dial.  This thing should provide nice, punchy audio to your 
entire church's congregation.  Very, very illegal, though.

How about just setting up a PA system?
