> It's must almost be time to start writing those submissions of to MED and mine will say exactly the same as last time no multiple tx's, no linking and no owner or operator of spectrum should be in LPFM
I agree except for the no linking. I use a link because it would not be feesible for me to transmit on LPFM from my home location. It is mostly surrounded by a ridge. I would be disadvantaged compared to someone else who lives on the ridge, so that would be unfair. I would prefer the following restrictions:
- No commercial spectrum licence owners or operators
- A maximum distance from the studio/source programme to the transmitter of 50km.
- A minimum distance of 12.5km between transmitters broadcasting the same programme.
I think it's fair enough for an LPFM broadcaster to cover his town or suburb with additonal transmitters, as long as the source material is local. It's basically the same as increasing the legal power limit above 0.5mW and who would not want to do that?
