I've heard that recent legislation has made it legal to set up your own
low power television station without requiring a license or technical
degree in the operation of transmitters. Does anyone know the details
like:
- what's the max power allowed and what range can be reached with that power?
- what frequencies can be used-VHF, UHF?
- what does a minimal transmitter cost? Anyone sell kits or plans for
constructing your own?
- are there any restrictions? e.g., can the transmitter be mobile? Is
broadcast limited to one frequency or one locality? Are there any
restrictions on programming material (sexual for example)? Are
regular daily broadcast times or 24 hour operation required?
Can it be used for personal communication (like a video CB radio)?
- If there are rules & regulations where do I call to get a copy of them?
