Drizzly night

altivoFortunately, it is supposed to stay well above freezing. Otherwise, this would make nasty ice conditions. We are supposed to finally see winter by about Sunday, with a 60% chance of snow.
Nothing to report on the library rebellion front. There was a significant meeting this morning, but I wasn't there and since I don't work on Thursday afternoon I haven't yet heard a report. However, an e-mail from a colleague at the institution where the meeting took place suggests it went well. Plans are going forward for budgeting, network equipment, and such.
Got the FM transmitter to work with my Zen Nano, so I can listen to digital audio in the car again. This transmitter is borrowed from the library, where it is rarely used, but I'll have to return it eventually. I'll be looking for a better quality one to buy. It is indeed hard to find a vacant frequency to use here. I started at 88.1 MHz and had to go all the way to 105.7 before I found a channel quiet enough to work. Between that and listening while cleaning stalls, though, I'm more than halfway through Redwall.
Tomorrow is payday and then (I hope) a fairly quiet weekend. I need some down time.

Date: 2007-01-13 01:55 am (UTC)Just what ARE the FCC rules about unlicensed transmitters in the FM band? I know you can do it in the AM band subject to restrictions on the power and antenna used. Looking at these Ramsey things, the point at which you break over into needing an actual broadcast license is pretty fuzzy, and while I adore fuzzy, in this context it makes me nervous. All I have is a ham license and a GMRS license, but still, I'd like to keep those too.
