FCC Wants to Bolster Amateur Radio
FCC Wants to Bolster Amateur Radio
FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel says the FCC plans to “incentivize innovation and experimentation in the amateur radio bands.”
There's some good background and explanation in this comment.
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm a community radio volunteer, and am wondering if this is something that applies to us or if this is a ham radio thing or something else entirely? I'm definitely not an engineer.
What is community radio? Is that like public access TV?
Community radio is volunteer non-profit radio that is community run, so like college radio without the college. It's commercial free and the programming is generally done by the DJs, rather than corporate radio deciding what to play.
Ham radio is amateur radio. It's not the same thing as a community broadcast station (and not at all comparable to Twitch).
Thanks! I wasn't sure.
