Global Tuners -A Great Website to DX Radio in real time

[MusicRadioUSA]

Global Tuners offers you the ability to listen to radio receivers of distance AM-FM bands from the USA, Canada, UK, etc in real time.I currently run my New York City receiver there part time. All you need to you to tune a radio receiver is sign up for a free account at Global Tuners. You can find out more info about that at the Global Tuner forum. This is not Internet streaming this is tuning radio receivers in real time like you were there locally. If you have a PCR-1500 or other radio receiver you can put your radio online worldwide as well. Find out more info. about Global Tuners at the link below.

I signed up under my callsign (KB0OXD).  However I doubt I'd be running my own receiver there.  If I did, it would be RX only & even then, it'd be limited to the broadcast bands until I can upgrade my antenna to receive Ham HF & Shortwave.  And even under those circumstances, I'd have to make sure it was an cheaper & older more sensitive rig which can receive better than a more expensive modern one which can be hampered by a plethora of other things (This is because I live in a high rise apartment building).

Cheers & 73

I was told by support at Global Tuners that its not technically possible to transmit over GT. so this is comply with your ham licence.

I signed up as Neutrodyne. 
This was where I was listening when I checked WWV on Halloween and heard what sounded like normal dead air from no signal,
but then I could tell it was a blank  carrier, then audio of some local FM feed for 15 seconds, then back into normal WWV.

This is what I had envisioned internet radio would be, where the user first picks a location and remotely operates the receiver.
I honestly thought some business would create the network of recievers across the country and stream audio back
to wherever requested and make it into a profitable venture simply by providing ad space on screen along with the audio
desired. 

But that's 'cause I see this as what I'd like from a listeners viewpoint.
None of that makes any sense from an advertising/commercial/radio station perspective because it gives every other
station in any market equal access.  So this hasn't happened until enough listeners assembled a network.

You can't intentionally relay a signal legally, nor selling advertisement for this kind of service.

Well even so, I still have other things as outlined below

Neither can you "legally", "intentionally" operate or leave running the engine in your vehicle without your immediatel physical presence.
But guess what, the remote starter was invented, and became ubiquitous in total disregard for such laws.

And the lamp dimmers everywhere, and the switching power supply in your computer are supposed to cause no more radio interference than simply operating another radio next to the first, if they were truly and meaningfully part 15 compliant.
So what good are FCC laws, or what good are they if technology ignores the REAL reason they were written?

Yes, in FCC law you cannot legally relay over the air except in specifically designed and applied situations.
But as far as sending it over wire/internet, why would an ad supported service be any different than say, me reading a copy of a
San Francisco newspaper story online? What if I'm sightless? Info is info.  There's ads on-screen.

Or is there a real specific reason why radio should be specifically prevented from going beyond its "market"?

Just looking for some kind of logic for what seems to me such a specific repression of a certain technology or information set.

I have been hesitant about joining up, mainly because there just aren't enough spots around the world in which to experiment.  Frankly, I want somebody in the Caribbean to put up a page.  Or also remote spots like Greenland & Antarctica....that oughta be fun.
