I have not been able to get on the ALPB site - -
I like it a lot though. I read it as much as
I can.
But this is home for me for now.
There's not much to report anyway.
I'm just working on my Gates control
board and an old reel to reel deck.
Best Wishes,
Brooce, Part 15 Hartford CT
There are other reasons, which I'm not going to go into here, why Rich is stirring the pot.

ArtisanRadio: If you believe and can prove that the "other reasons" you refer to above are valid, then why would you not post them here?
Not to get too off topic but FM is allowed on the mediumwave band. Part 15 does not specify what modulation method you can use, except spark gap which I believe is outright banned by the FCC.
Broadcasting FM on the AM band as the reciever isn't set up to be able to get the audio...don't think you would hear anything without mods to the radio's detector stage.
As for not much activity here this thread seems to be getting a lot of hits.

Doesn't according to the article eliminate the noise as the amplitude component isn't rejected which would be the reason for doing this.

@thelegacy.. I don't think there has ever been any sense of "too much dictatorship and censorship" here. But what I think you refer to is when heavy objection is expressed in response to post which emphasize or promote an illegal and/or pirate methods of operation..
Thing like that as far as I am comcerned in a direct slap in the face of part 15, which by it's very definition is a legal unlicensed method of broadcasting. This is the specific name and purpose of this site, so to suggest, advise, and promote something that clearly opposes this purpose is extremely counterproductive to the purpose of this site. It's like preaching atheistic beliefs in a Christian church -- it has no place there and is a direct insult. So it's not a matter of censorship, it a matter of being disrespected.
"To sum it up you can't have it both ways you either have a censored website with few users and keeping everything down to the book or you become a little more relaxed and have things that are not so by-the-book and have your users."
I'm sorry, it's nicely put, but that is total nonsense. (it's actually the same thing I had said previously in a sacastic manner) In other scenirios that may apply, but can not possibly apply in this case... The epitome of part 15; it's very existing essence is "the book", so if your stray from "by-the-book", then it's outside the terrioty entirely - this is the point you seem to be oblivious too.
Ingore this - somehow posted twice.. this is edit to delete.
I think I missed what you were trying to say. My point of the post was with an analog (non-digital) tuning capability it would be possible to extract audio from a FM signal by tuning slightly off of center if I have my facts straight. I know I have done it in the past. Quality was not great but it can be done.
.. I got confused there for a moment Mighty, now I realize you were replying to Marks comment.
Double confused was that was WDCX.
That said, WDCX IIRC an FM signal does have just enough AM to demodulate albeit very poorly. The easiest way to test the idea is with a radio scanner that can switch modes.
This forum has never been really active with 250+ post a week. You want to talk about a dead forum Hobbybroadcaster it only got like 3 to 5 post a week.
I notice that there are so many members....hundreds....take a look at the member list and who's new is changing all the time so more people are registering ongoing but only a handful actually post, mostly the same people all the time. Wonder why that is?
There would be a whole lot of activity, more than we could keep up with if maybe 10% of registered people contributed.

Not quite--on a typical day Hobby Broadcaster has 25 to 30 posts --NOT 3-5 a week.
