The thread kinda derailed onto straight airwave broadcast only discussion, but I'm thinking FIRST and foremost to start "broadcasting" online, and then, MAYBE move onto actual airwave broadcasting.
I'm from Argentina (thought you might figure that out, since my nickname heh..), and here we have a law that anyone boradcasting on commercial FM band, that doesn't interfere bother other radio stations can go on for at least 6 months straight without even filing a single paper for a permit, so that you have time to try out and see if your operation is feasible with the hardware you have.
So, by the least, I'd have 6 months of broadcast bonanza ahead, before having to legally respond by filing for a permit.
But hte main thing still will be online "broadcasting".
Thank you and everyone who gave good advices!!
