Contemplations On Radio
Posted on August 11, 2012
Small chunks of memory float around in the brain for years, then suddenly meet other chunks of memory and a new thought is born.
Small chunks of memory float around in the brain for years, then suddenly meet other chunks of memory and a new thought is born.
The new thought of the moment is the realization that part 15 broadcasting is the “top of the line”, the “ultimate in quality”, the “mecca of excellence”.
The small memory chunks that bring this new thought into mind include something a radio engineer said in the 1960s.
The engineer explained that the reason radio stations broadcast with such high power is to allow the radio manufacturing industry to produce inferior, cheap, insensitive radios. He said that if high quality radios were the norm, much lower radiated powers would do the job.
The second memory chunk recalls what we talk about now here at part15.us…. the milliWatt signals are best received on very high quality, sensitive radios.
Therefore part 15 broadcasting represents the green, efficient, non-polluting world of our dreams. No drain on the power grid.
Full power licensed stations are brute-force frackers; electronic oil-spillers; energy squanderers.
Unplug them. Unplug them all.
