Thank you
I really wanted to put it in service sending feeds to battery powered
speakers
I set up large outdoor car shows , some times going 1/2 mile from the
annoucer location
I buit the transmitter to avoid having to drop several 600 foot speaker
cables
I thought a radio link to speakers running off a car radios,and car
battries
would be just the ticket
I may exlore that further now

These things are legal and are sold as consumer products so the FCC
doesn't expect you to be a licensed broadcast engineer to operate one.
If you do stupid stuff like operate on another station's frequency,
turn the power up all the way, attach a stronger antenna and broadcast
24/7 you will probably get the FCC's attention. As long as you find a
channel where there is nothing on frequency or on either side (ideally
nothing on 2 ch's to either side) and operate the way the device is
intended to, there should not be a problem. Yes, you should be
concerned about interfering with ch6 TV too if there is one in your
area and you are in the 90 - 91 MHz band.
The rules are written strongly so as to be able to prosecute pirates,
not responsible consumers. The use you describe is a good example of
exactly why the FCC allows these devices to be manufactured.
Have fun!
