[BC] Part 15 radio station

[RichardBJohnson at comcast.net]

It is my "take" that a "Part 15 transmitter" is one of those things
you use inside a vehicle to get the kids box to play over the
radio.

Use of such a transmitter for broadcasting will always be
found to be a violation of the rules (if you get caught).
Part 73 regulates broadcasting, not Part 15!

BTW, if you are going to violate the rules, you should
not screw around. A frequent contributor to this list
ran a screen-grid modulated, crystal-controlled,
45 watt input unlicensed broadcast-band transmitter
as a youngster --and it sounded good. It didn't get
out too well so he decided to work at a licensed
radio station which also didn't get out too well.
