Cartoon Powers Rich Powers, your cartoons are so much fun.
I have the “Tilting at Windmills” cartoon you made on the part 15 page on my website.
Of course you made the little blue graphic image that shows up over on the right side.
Maybe part15.us should have a regular cartoon series by Rich Powers.

Here’s One! Which is greater? The length of a Part 15 FM station’s antenna, or the distance to its’ city-grade signal contour?
The answer is a joke!
RichPowerssays
I’m a little slow..
Guess I I’m a little slow..
Guess I gotta understand the question before getting to the punchline.
However, I did do a google to find out that a “city-grade signal contour” references an FM signal.
If it were an AM joke, I would have already got it and chuckled.
Here’s my part 15 joke:
um..
Something about this thread made me look up this old thread: Part 15 was NEVER INTENDED as a means to publicly broadcast radio to a listening audience.. http://www.part15.us/node/3214
I ended up reading the entire thread again.

Sorry, I forgot what my part15 joke was.

Old Thread Me too. This was interesting: The intent of Part 15 is to provide the radio enthusiast with an opportunity to experiment with radio, and to entertain friends or neighbors within a very limited communication range. The Commission never intended that Part 15 be used to establish a low power broadcast facility to service an entire community. but further comments should be placed in that thread so I’ll attempt to stay on topic:
“It has been observed for part 15 operators that prolonged exposure to RF is associated with their children being born naked.”

Guy walks over, whispers to donkey, donkey cries. Guy gets free drink.
Bar tender has to ask, “Wha’d you tell the donkey?”
Guy says “First time I told him my vertical was bigger than his, he laughed. Second time I showed him a picture, he cried.”
mram1500says
Oh, I’m On A Roll Here… Did you hear the one about the vertical that got buried?
He was up to his NEC.
mram1500says

Intercepting MRAM Mr. MRAM, we are putting you in this strait jacket for your own good.
You seem to think you are a comedy act on a radio website. This is a common thing, and it happens to many.
But for the time being you will be placed in a sealed room with only one radio station to keep you company. It will be a station called MRAM 1500.
If you agree, blink forty-two times.
mram1500says
Encore – Encore=clap clap clap clap…. Ok,time for one more before they put me in a jacket.
Did you hear about the Part 15 station doing AM stereo tests?
It’s just a KROK!

I’m Getting Back Into the Hobby This afternoon I suddenly needed to get back into part 15 broadcasting. I miss it far more than I thought I would, and this time I may not give it up again.
Something’s a little bit off here, because my two AM transmitters have been running since early this morning.
I know what it is. I never got out of the hobby. You can’t get back in unless you quit. I’m not going to quit.

A radio station is smart if it doesn’t have IBOC.

Legal Secrets Why are you so secretive with your radio activities, are you breaking the law?
NO! Everything I do is perfectly legal under Part 15.
Then why the sneaking around?
I don’t want people to think I’m doing anything illegal.
Carl Blaresays
Light Bulb How many part 15 operators does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Any number, as this is not regulated by part 15.

About Joke Telling Let me tell you something about joke telling that I learned in school.
A guy named Roy had a thing where he’d gather a bunch of his friends and they would select a dupe, and they would tell a fake joke.
Roy would tell about the bear that fell off a a floating log, and as it went underwater it would say, “Television.”
And all of Roy’s buddies would laugh.
Usually the poor sap they were talking to would laugh also, pretending he understood the joke.
Yet Another
Other part 15 jokes have been posted, but on some unknown thread.
I was just reading a free newspaper and spotted a joke opportunity.
