What do you call the radios in cars to talk to others who have the same radio?

I’m talking about those devices that you see some people have in their cars where they can talk to each other over a frequency similar to cops with their radios and truckers.

Citizens Band radio

How to make cleaning your room fun?

I need to clean my room cause we got company coming tomorrow. I just got home from school and I REALLY Don’t feel like it. I put on the radio, but I’m still not in the cleaning spirit. How do you make cleaning fun?

Make it a game. If you have someone that is willing to help you clean, divide the room evenly and make it a race. First one to finish their section has to do something embarrassing or make the other one a treat like cookies or something. If you are not getting help, turn the songs on the radio into instructions. For example, most of the mess in my room is laundry. So I could make fast songs laundry only songs, and slow song everything else. If you have a lot of trash, get a big bag and see how many shots you can make in a row.

I heard the end of it on the radio today, talking about you’ll find yourself in a junkyard and in the hospital because of a Ford truck. I thought it was absolutely hilarious, and I’d love to know what the song is!

Why do some radio stations speed up songs and play them at a higher pitch?

So I’ve noticed that some radio stations tend to speed up their songs and make them higher pitched. like some radio stations speed them up by 3, 4, 5%. some even speed it up by 6 or 7%. i mean, i don’t have a problem with it but i was just wondering why.

do any of your local radio stations do that?

that’s dumb. and probay just to fit in more songs in a time slot, or so people find the tune more catchy

Why do mexican radio stations come in so clear, and the other stations come in fuzzy?

Nothing against any style of music, but where I live few people listen to mexican music radio stations, but they come in really clear, where as all the other music channels, that most people listen too, are in and out of reception constantly. Can radio stations only boost the range on mexican music?

Yeah! Why is that??? Good Question!

Is it legal to play old Mercury Radio Theater show recordings on a college internet radio station?

I would like to start a weekly radio show on my college’s internet radio station with old recordings of the Mercury Theater shows. Does anyone know if that would violate copyright laws (or other applicable law relating to radio broadcast)?

Thanks for your help!

Several issues to slice at: whether you need a copyright license for non-profit use in an educational institution, whether it would be a different answer if the "channel" were only accessible to students at the college, whether the original works are copyrighted, and (if so) when do they expire.

The US Copyright law grants a limited exemption for certain educational uses. Read 17 USC s. 110 to see if your proposed use falls under one of them. If not, you may be able to obtain an inexpensive license from the copyright owners (typically the producers and their successor owners).

The Mercury Theater recordings were originally recorded prior to 1973, so they are not covered by any federal copyright. However, state laws prohibit unauthorized publication of sound recordings, so could still find yourself sued for copyright infringement in, say, Massachusetts. They would have to prove, among other things, that you "copied" the recording "without consent" and for the purpose of "profit" from a public performance, or to "sell, rent or transport" any unauthorized copy.

Under many state copyright laws, the copyright NEVER expires. These laws will remain in effect until they are preempted by the federal copyright law in 2067, making all such works "public domain", i.e., no longer covered by any copyright in the USA.

How can I become an Internet Radio host?

I would like to host a internet radio programme, without starting my own station.

Use 1000MIKES – Radio 2.0.. to start you off and tell your friends to listen or post it on facebook or twitter. Don’t use illegal music because they can end up blocking you. Its quick and easy to set up and you can see how many people are listening to you at the time. hope that helped

How does an internet radio work and what equipment do I need in the house to support it ?

I get very bad reception in a small house in France surrounded by hills. So if I buy an ‘internet radio’ of which many are now on sale, what wires, electricity supply, aerial(?) do I need and where do I have to be in relation to the p.c. on the ground floor ????? Any help appreciated. I know I can get reception on the p.c. but I want to listen upstairs.

You could try internet tuners by Grace, Sangean, Coby, Aluratek, etc. I have an Aluratek AIREC01F that I like for the most part. I use it wirelessly with a wireless router connected to my modem. Believe me, internet streams sound better through a decent stereo system than computer speakers.
