Using Unlicensed Radio Transmitters Could Lead to Fines

Radio transmitters are readily available for purchase via the internet. When the COVID-19 pandemic started, some churches turned to these devices to broadcast socially-distanced worship services in their parking lots. Beware that using an unlicensed transmitter could lead to your church being fined by the Federal Communications Commission. Unlicensed broadcast is permitted only for signals using less than one watt of power with a maximum range of 200 feet. Fines begin at $10,000 per violation.
