The one thing you forget in the battle of tiny broadcasters vs. large stations is that the larger station will have much power in the signal. Its like a whisper versus a bullhorn. If you are close you will hear the whisper, but the bullhorn will be there. I work for a LPFM station that was closed due to "interferance" with a 100Kw station. The fact was that our station which was 1 station away became a whisper at the same wattage when the big boy came on. We had a FCC license but it seemed that our rights were less than the big company. The larger stations will always win unless it is over 10 watts and in line of sight with the antenna up to 1 mile. even then that is if the antennna is prpoerly tuned and conditions are perfect.
I agree that the FM band is crowded but the FCC could also regulate the stations that are out there to make sure they are not going beyond their allowed range. Many stations are over broadcasting and little stations like ours are hurt.
