The only reason that Canada is 1000uV/M@3 meters is because of a classification the FCC doesn't have....anouncement transmitters, which was designed to get a signal to a small neigbourhood, not just a wireless signal a few feet to a car radio.
Fortunately for us the CRTC which regulates programming doesn't say you can't play music or have regular programming as long as it's nothing political or religous, no racism or related stuff like that, all programming originates with you and no swearing.
Mark
yes Mark I think I have discussed this before. What we need to do is petition for that classification of service on FM. Then have enough strength for 500 meters with a stock antenna like a rubber duck. We need to come together for construction of the petition. Maybe start an Album Rock preservation act of 2015 and tie it to Micro broadcasting and the absolute need for it.
On WXTZ during the Bruce Edwards show, which was the only live show we had, ran from 8:00PM to 6:00AM and we played the entire album from the beginning of side one to the end of side two.
Often, we'd jump over to another album on turntable #2 while the first was being turned over.
That list I posted above is updated every day, we just added 3 Pat Benatar albums today. In fact we just got a shipment in of 21 new additions to our vinyl album library.
Here is another quick copy and paste from the ever growing VINYL record list. (Please note: This list is not the whole list, I AM SIMPLY JUMPING INTO THE LIST AT VARIOUS POINTS AND COPY AND PASTING EXAMPLES, SO IF IT JUMPS FROM E to H THAT MEANS I JUMPED DOWN THE LIST TO H

All our music was played on LPs unless a song was only released as a single.
Like I said, we played the whole album not just the charted songs from those albums.
We did use cassette tapes, but rarely did we ever use CDs, I HATED the feel of those things, but we did use them when an album was not released on VINYL or CASSETTE.
