This might be news to some of you folks,but a gentleman in Phoeni
x,Arizona won his case in court over broadcasting on FM.
The court said the FCC has no jurisdiction over him since his sig
nal does not cross international,state, or marine borders.
He is called in legal terms an INTRASTATE,or inside of one state,
roadcaster.He is free to do as he wishes as long as it is noncomm
ercial.
For any of you in the north Phoenix area,he is on 88.9 with 1.5 w
atts.He is located on 5th street near Union Hills.Broadcasts are
in the evenings between 6 and 11 PM.
I would do it myself,but I live in Cleveland,Ohio,so I have both an international border and a large marine border(Lake Erie).
You must also be careful if you are operating near any major rive
rs.Therte have been people busted because of being monitored by b
oats on the Ohio river.

But,by all means,those of you in Arizona,It is perfectly leagal no
w to be on FM.Of course it always was,but we now have court decisi
on on the matter.

Those of you in Phoenix,if you have been watching the TV news in 
the past year,alredy know about this.I know for a fact there was
a big story on channel 10.Dont know for sure about any of the oth
er ones though.
