It's a NEW YEAR! And the first ALPB Meeting of the New Year, January 4, 2013.
The ball is rolling regardless of what neysayers might have you believe. License Free, Low Power Broadcasting exists around the world. Our ALPB purpose is to help Member Stations make it the best it can be.
Working on content, Radio Talk Show Host Dan Delgado of The Radio Dan Show will be interviewed by Carl Blare of KDX World Round Radio. Radio Dan has hosted an internet based talk show on TalkRadioX for several years. It should be interesting to see what makes him tick and why. The interview will be featured on The ALPB website.
Keep those "Brag Page" items coming in. Showing off our Member Stations lets the world see just who these low power, license free operators are.
Have any ideas for the website? Please send them along to be included. I'm looking for items to further expand our site. If you'd like to write a column on a regular basis, let me know.
Be All You Can Be With The ALPB.
When I say "spirit of part 15" I mean it as more than just a slogan, I am talking about the creative opportunities that open up for part 15 radio station operators.
The "spirit" goes way beyond the printed part 15 rules. The printed part 15 rules are only half of the true rules..... the printed portion apply simply to the technical descriptions of how to be part 15 compliant.
But rules have spaces between the lines that contain meanings of their own. In those blank spaces we are allowed program freedom!
Yes, what isn't ruled against is allowed!
All that blank space is there for us to fill in with great programming and fabulous ideas!
It is a "freedom" or an "allowance" that we have.
Those few people who hover around reciting rules are very military.
A military mind limits itself strictly to its "orders" as printed. They are unable to think inventively or creatively because to them the blank portion of a page means nothing.
In a sense whole portions of their brains are blank.
The ALPB is for creative inventive minds that are never blank.
Yes, rules are just the technical restriction placed upon the emission of radio waves. The only item in this country's rules that limit content are regarding profanity.
Of course, profanity is also subjective, left to the Court system to decide.
And while low power, license free broadcasters are world wide, rules are different from one country to the next. For that reason, the ALPB does not refer to our endeavors as "Part 15" operations. Rather, we are LICENSE FREE, LOW POWER BROADCASTERS the world over.
Each Member Station has there own "rules" to satisfy regardless of their location. Like wise, content must be acceptable to their region. So it is up to the individual to be creative within the social constraints.
The ALPB is working hard to develop a network of license free, low power broadcasters. There is strength in numbers and as we grow, our purpose to aid member stations will grow as well.
The ALPB - a network of LICENSE FREE, LOW POWER BROADCASTERS BRINGING RADIO BACK TO THE PEOPLE.
