FCC Low-Power Radio, Time to Apply 1 Week Now!

This will be the first Low-Power FM (LPFM) filing window to apply for a legitimate broadcasting license since 2013.

This is significant because it allows for a small enough transmitter to broadcast over the regular FM airwaves, that the purchase cost of the transmitter as well as the energy needs are small enough to be affordable to an individual, even though only organizations not individuals can qualify for this type license.

Looks like there is also no application fee, very uncommon.

This is the hobbyist size of transmitter no bigger than a shortwave Ham radio operator would have, that is otherwise forbidden or rarely licensed for use on your regular local FM radio airwaves.

Outstanding rare opportunity for educational nonprofit or Native American organizations.

Anyone eligible should really jump on this before it's too late.

The application appears especially bureaucratic, but Prometheus seems like they are there to help.
