well my big thing is that i used to give a poo poo about other people and I hated seeing nice shop gear go idle, so I vowed that when I got a good job i'd find some buddies and they could use my lathe just for the principle of keeping precision machine tools busy because they create a lot of value

but then i got old and burnt up and now i'll just buy some stuff for myself and you can buy the finished product

Yes sir it is.



You are correct, SSTV is a big and respected slice of the pie, but there's also full fast-scan NTSC. And repeaters that will rebroadcast your goony neckbearded rear end.

i think it would have been cool if when the analog tv spectrum went up for sale, the fcc turned it over to experimenters and we got things like micro-level community tv stations that only broadcast in one neighborhood or apartment building. ultra-local progamming, build community, etc.

i mostly think about this because i remember being a little kid and going to my grandparents' house in middle of nowhere ohio and the local radio station was super super local. like "alright, that was jimmy with his fiddle, thanks a lot jimmy. now mrs. bronson wants to let everyone know that someone left her fence gate open and her chickens got out, so if you happen to see one walking around, pick it up and see that it gets back to her, wouldya? and now here's officer mike walsh to tell you about the policeman's ball this saturday. mike --"

neat stuff

If I had the urge or drive to go into politics or bureaucracy I would become FCC chairman and reallocate the spectrum such that any station that is not independent or independently owned would be stuck in the 102-108 ghetto. Suck it, Clear Channel. 88-92 would go religious just to keep them happy, and then 92-102 would become a 10 megahertz swath of community, LP and unlicensed FM.

Nothing; Clear Channel just doesn't deserve the amount of spectrum they currently ruin. Also it'd be less financial hit for them to reband to the high side than for a bunch of community/college stations.
