“When JRoute is off the air, 99% of the time I hear ONLY STATIC, so they are not cutting into the LI station’s business.”
It is when they ARE transmitting that they will be cutting into the coverage area of the LI station.
“I was asking regarding Charlie’s false (according to two anonymous posters on ywn)”
What experience do you have with radio broadcast technology? I happen to have once been the chief engineer of an FCC-licensed FM station. I also post under my real name.
“Operating a station without a license is Genevah.
It’s illegal, and I am not trying to advocate for it, but you throw around terminology very carelessly. Suddenly, you’re a big machmir.”
Ok, then please explain why reducing the audience of another station *isn’t* genevah.
“the FCC doesn’t decide which radio waves interfere with others. They didn’t make up the laws of physics.”
The FCC has engineers who can determine using the laws of physics how far to transmitters need to be apart in order to avoid reducing the coverage area of either. JRoot needs to hire an engineer and apply to the FCC for a license — which they won’t get if they are interfering with the Long Island station. In fact, they probably would not get one anyway because they now have a chazakah of lawbreaking. And this claims to be a “frum” station?
