It is what is known as hobby radio,
and is a legal unlicensed
station under FCC Part 15 and not pirate radio. I transmit on
1610 KHZ AM and the signal has a usable reception area of about 400
feet in diameter (a very small coverage footprint in our neighborhood).
The station format is Old-Time Radio. We play old
dramas,
comedies, mysteries, adventure programs that have long since expired
their copyrights and are now generally accepted to be in the public
domain. Most of these programs are from the 1930's and 1940's,
but perhaps you might recognize some of them.
The micropower broadcast location is in Everett, WA near
the corner
of Colby Ave. and 37th St.
We also have an internet stream of the broadcast running
simultaneously with the AM broadcast. If you are not close enough
to receive the AM broadcast, you can get a stream of the station from
anywhere in the world on the internet.
The station was inspired by my wife, who really enjoys the
old time
radio programming. We wanted to be able to be able to listen to
the old programs on an old wood replica radio that we have. Well,
transmitting over the air legally was the answer to making that
work. As we thought others might enjoy the programs as much as we
do, I used my computer networking and web skills to also broadcast over
the web.
