The Father of Part 15

For the past half hour of so, I have been

doing a search for the HISTORY OF PART 15.

It is now about 6:17 PM EDT here, as I sit

typing this in. 

That is really something.  ESP?

Well, anyway - I found a really

facinating discussion from several years

ago, written mainly by our friend Ermi -

who knows so much.  I don't know where

you are Ermi, but thank you for this.  It's

really good.

Just type into Google, "ëarliest radio, part 15.us."

Part 15 started in 1938, for phono oscillators,

or "wireless phonographs," which is what they said

from my notes here from way back somewhere else. 

It covered 300 kHz to 30 MHz.  And it wasn't called

Part 15.  There was another number designation for

the rules. 

Any, that's it.  Check it out.  Thanks again Ermi.

Several of our other friends are in this

discussion, too, with really great info.

But I think Ermi is the guy who talks

about the early Part 15 regs. 

It's quite a ways down the page.

Bruce

Too busy, too many distractions.  

Sorry guys. 

A BETTER LINK is:

Try Google:  "Part 15 AM History Part 15 us"

I think this info is written in different

places over the years by Ermi, who did

the research, and Neil has a bunch of

comments that add more info.

I'm confused, but it's there somewhere.

Thank you Neil Radio8Z for making that 11-pager available.

The man's history goes into a lot of detail and makes the reader aware of how massive the over-all management of all the spectrum gets to be.

Being unlicensed is wonderful.
