WiFi Alternative

Here is a way to use WiFi and stick it to the NAB and run a LONG RANGE part 15 station (WiFi is part 15). It involves running a Router (you don't even need to have it connected to the Internet more on that later). Next you run an Icecast or Shoutcast server and set the port to 800. Set the server to allow any ip address including local IP 127.0.0.1. Now set the wireless netowrk name to your station's name. Leave the Wifi to open so anyone can log into it. You could even use your android phone to set up a personal network and have your shoutcast or Icecast server configured to send and receive internet streams through it. Now put up a sign and advertise everywhere to have listeners log into the open network your Radio station's name. They will need to Download Xiia which is a FREE app for Android and in favorites type in this address and port like this: 127.0.0.1:800/listen.pls or 127.0.0.1:800 and press save. It should see your station and the listener could listen to your Radio. Now set up repeater stations for your station. You could buy Android phones which don't even need to be activated and set them up as repeaters for the Wifi signal. You could have every house down your street have a repeater plugged into their home and set to your network's name thus having a wireless station going several miles and not even using a paid Internet service. This makes it next to impossible for the RIAA to track you down as there is no IP address to track. Since its part 15 the FCC won't get involved as long as your Wifi don't interfere with anything. Potentially you could have a station that could go several miles so long as you keep repeating the signal. Even getting permission to put some Android phones in a weather proof enclosure is possible just keep each phone every few feet. As soon as the bar would drop you put in another repeater. Hobby Radio could even be in places like the Bronx and there would be nothing the NAB could do about lost listeners whatsoever except sit and cry because we beat the man legally and to boot have CD quality audio. Since you don't have to worry about bandwidth you could have your stream at 320K 44.1 Khz sampling rate and you'd have a signal better than HD Radio, Satellite or anything the NAB could possibly compete with which would put your station at the forefront of the town. You could even get listeners to be repeater stations. So you have FREE Wifi Radio that is untouchable by greedy corporate mongers. It would be hard to do, but its a possibility. Not quite as fun as FM or AM but if you had some listeners it only starts from there. I think even those Logitech Squeezebox Internet Radio's could connect to your FREE Wifi Radio service too. I'm just proving a point that there is more than one 2 ways to compete with the NAB and have a hobby station. 1 being AM or FM while they chase you and try and shut you down. 2 is the better way which is Wifi with no ISP. That way there is truly no way to shut you down unless your router is modified over the part 15 field strength. If they keep picking on part 15 stations this is the way to tackle them where it would really hurt because car Radio's even have WiFi Internet on some of them.

Listen2myradio.com has a free player that you can copy/paste the html code into a browser page. You could use Komposer to do this and that is FREE. The only thing I am not sure of is how to route your router to a main page. There is a Shoutcast D.N.A.S 1.9.8 which I believe MRAM had on his site to Download. You can set that up and have the player automatically run when the listener comes into range of the wifi. I could have the WiFi's network ID as The Legacy. And this way people could look for my network. Trouble would be for the Android. Now the paid version of Listen2myradio.com has where their web player will work on an Android but not sure about the web player that will work on other servers so I'd have to experiment with that. If it does work it could be a part of this WiFi Radio Network. And since the FREE player works on any server you simply use your server instead. Trying to see other ways to do this too. You can use WiFi repeaters all over the place and if you could trust your neighbors you could have the repeaters in other's houses so you have it going over a mile. It would have better use in a motel/resort type setting too.
