Very nice too. Which transmitters are you using for both AM and FM?
What's the regulatory situation in the US? In the UK we are allowed to use ultra low power FM transmitters that are type approved. AM transmiters are not allowed. In practice there is little enforcement activity. Mostly complaints driven, so if you squat close to a BBC station and use too much power somebody might get unhappy. Be sensible, check your coverage with a portable set and keep out of trouble.
Some years ago "Radio Free Dulwich" used to broadcast our kind of music on AM around the Vintage Wireless Museum. It may still operate though I don't know how often. I somehow dont think it would have generated any complaints. It would have been pretty inconspicuous compared to the usual south London pirates blasting out non-music. Often overmodulated and squatting too close to BBC stations.
