Part 15 of the FCC rules permits you to transmit up to 100 milliwatts (0.1 Watt) without a license as long as you do not cause interference to licensed stations. I believe there is a restriction on the size of the antenna you can use. AM transmitter kits are available from Ramsey Electronics and also from Pan-Axis Productions in California: (916) 534-0417 Art ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 2 Jul 1994 21:00:04 MDT From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!library.ucla.edu!europa.eng.gtefsd.com!newsxfer.itd.umich.edu!nntp.cs.ubc.ca!alberta!ve6mgs!rec-radio-info@network.ucsd.edu Subject: Periodic Announcement - ARRL Email Information Server (info@arrl.org) To: ham-homebrew@ucsd.edu Periodic Announcement - ARRL Email Information Server (info@arrl.org) The services that the ARRL provides via the internet include the Email Information Server and the Technical Information Service. The Information Server is an automated mail server that gives you access to many of information files relating to various facets of Amateur Radio. You can retrieve any or all of these files by sending an email message to info@arrl.org here at ARRL HQ. Each file you request is then mailed to you automatically. To use it, mail messages to: info@arrl.org Each line of the message body should contain a command as shown below. The subject of your message is not processed and may be omitted. You may place as many commands in a message as you want. The files you request will be sent to you in separate messages. Only ASCII text files are supported. Valid INFO commands: reply
(may be needed - see below for explanation) help index send FILENAME (example: send prospect.txt) quit In the above message example, "help" retrieves a brief set of instructions for info, "index" retrieves a list of available files and "send prospect.txt" retrieves a text file containing information on becoming a radio amateur. Note to users with FTP capability: All of these files are also available by anonymous ftp to oak.oakland.edu in the pub/hamradio/arrl/infoserver area. Retrieve the file index.txt in the /league sub-directory for a complete listing of available files. If you want to retrieve several text files with one message, use a separate line for each "send filename" request. Your From: field or Reply-to: field in your header should contain a valid Internet address, including full domain name. If your From: field does not contain a valid Internet address, the answer will not reach you. If this is the case, then use the reply command as shown above. When needed, this command should always be the first command in your message. IMPORTANT: Please use the quit command in your message. This will prevent processing errors from message signatures. PLEASE NOTE!: This is an automated system not capable of handling written requests. Any questions on the info-server or the content of any of its files should be directed to mtracy@arrl.org. ALSO NOTE!: Do *NOT* reply to messages sent from info@arrl.org - the reply address is redirected to keep bounced messages from endlessly looping. Write a new message to info@arrl.org instead. The Technical Information Service gives League members on the internet better access to the knowledgeable technical staff here at ARRL HQ. Questions relating to Amateur Radio and related technical topics are welcome. To use this service, send a normal e-mail message to tis@arrl.org with your question spelled out in plain english. For best service, be as specific as possible and keep your line length in messages to a maximum of 80 characters. Due to personnel limitations, priority will be given to questions from League members. Best Regards, Michael Tracy, KC1SX, ARRL Technical Information Services Coordinator (e-mail mtracy@arrl.org) Sample of files available from INFO: (There are lots more!) Note - If you are not yet an Amateur Radio operator retrieve the file prospect (send prospect) for information on how to easily get started in this fun hobby.
