As of Sept. 1, 2010, the FCC reports about 200 silent stations and plans a crackdown

Upon hearing about the advanced superiority of HE-AAC on TWiRT (This Week in Radio Tech) and in a conversation with RFBurns, who streams AAC+, I am exploring this interesting streaming format.

Upon hearing about the advanced superiority of HE-AAC on TWiRT (This Week in Radio Tech) and in a conversation with RFBurns, who streams AAC+, I am exploring this interesting streaming format.

Presently KDX streams using SAM Plugin for Winamp, which offers mp3 and mp3-PRO, with a mention that mp3-PRO is almost as good as AAC+, but none of my stuff actually achieves AAC+ streaming.

The only package I know of that offers AAC+ streaming is SAM Broadcaster, so I’ll probably get one.

But let me get to some questions.

EVERYBODY releases their radio programs and podcasts in mp3 format at the present time. So what would happen is that a lot of mp3 files would get sent over AAC+ stream. Is that good enough? Or, should we put as many shows as possible into AAC+ file format.

Will most listeners be able to hear an AAC+ stream, or will it remain necessary to keep an mp3 stream for some listeners?

What else would make a good question?

Hello SCWIS or MadMage:

The past few days I’ve noticed that while I’m connected to part15.us the download spinner keeps spinning and the download gauge never finished loading. At one time I noticed that the browser was transferring r.openx.net, which I know has to do with an ad banner.

Is this normal experience?

On the same day, Friday March 4, two members from part15.us appeared as guests on two editions of The Low Power Hour, No. 6 and No. 7.

Both shows are available for download at

And today, Monday March 7, a new page has been dedicated to The Low Power Hour, and will be improved bit by bit in the coming months.

Thank you for the welcome response.

There are only two FCC rules that apply to Part 15 transmitter users: 15.209 and 15.219. If you comply with one or the other, you are legal.

Well, so during the day we use 15.219.

Then, after sundown, we use 15.209.

See what I’m saying?

This morning I interviewed one of the favorite members of this site and the time went by so fast it was scary.

Tonight I’m already interviewing another member for No.7, which might come out already on Saturday or Sunday.
