Hello

Id like to relate some information about a local low power station
in the Stockton,Ca area.

This low power station is run by a car dealer !

relating to the Kits, Modules & Parts department, use:

transmitter and 9 ft whip antenna on top between the $1000/month signs

It's a low power am transmitter in a box with a 10 foot whip antenna high atop a billboard
sign along the local freeway ( hi-way 99 ) the station runs on AM 1610 Khz

hidden transmitter in billboard near 'The Bedroom'

that tells you to tune into 1610 AM for road info !

Cassette Tape ? NO ! MP3-CASSETTE ! !

hitec DUO MP3 player works with headphones or plugs into any cassette decks

This mp3 player works with headphones OR slap it into any tape deck even your CAR !

When you tune into 1610 there is no road info from caltrans , no Local Wx ,,,

Low Power FM Info *

only a 10 minute endless loop tape playing advertisements for a local car lot.

[click here to see the crime in progress/full size]

Over and over the broadcast tells you to "pull off the highway at the next exit
and drive into the car lot.
( Much like 25% of the programming on on our local AMFM staions car spots , YUCK!!!)

The FCC was made aware of this commercial pirate station operating
on the traveler information frequency of ( 1610 AM ) , the FCC tried
to take RF readings and apparently decided that this station is legit !

It's Obvious that if you have $2000 a month to spend on billboard space with

'3M' says it's okay to broadcast your commercial message ,

$1000 bill board sign 1.6 miles north from transmitter sign

But if your trying to
run a community orientated low power station with out corporate backing
the FCC will run you off the band.

I have documented this bill board station on my web page...

the billboard station pics are on the sub-page...

Please add a LINK to this page , low power broadcasters need to know about this loophole !

Maybe some one can use this loophole to run a community orientated low power station ?

volume with out static or noise ( except for powerlines)

12:03pm One Mile South of Pirate transmitter Billboard 610 uv (microvolt) = 0.61 miliVolt...
