    There's a local radio station near here thats low power. I could hear
    it when driving home from work.

    San Francisco had a couple of pirate stations. Pirate Cat radio was one I listened to when I was in the Mission District. Good times.

    Years ago I used to play an automated stream into Shoutcast that did
    very well 24/7! My competition was WOLF-FM who seemed to have multiple servers at various datacenters so he could host a lot more listeners. After a while I put on a very small FM transmitter meant for car usage
    on the feed server. Being that it was high up in the attic however I
    had some decent "ERP" and often caught cars driving by with their
    windows down jamming my station :)

    We need more terrestrial pirate stations. I want to be able to put a station in a Pelikan case with a solar cell and a Pi and be able to transmit to it remotely.

    They have legal licenses for LPFM (Low Power FM) stations. I don't know what exactly is involved with them. My TX was a small in-car usage only TX but because of how high I had it, the ERP was raised. I would say I had about a block radius coverage area... not much but enough for me to enjoy my stuff
    with a pair of FM headphones while I did yard work. This was before the bluetooth days.

    The fact that others did enjoy it from time to time was kinda cool.

    I'm always pleased when I see someone listening to my shoutcast stream.

    I tried to pull it up but got an SSL error, even if I tried to force non-ssl.

    Strange -- I can pull it up and the cert looks valid. Could you netmail me
    the certificate info?

    You should have the info.

    You should have the info.

    I can see it from my end, was curious to see if there was something in
    between me and the listener and wanted to compare cert info from the client.

    On a side note, I understand the need for SSL packet inspection, but posing
    as a man in the middle to do network security just feels wrong.

    One thing I just noticed, why is SSL/TLS being enforced when it's NOT httpS? That may be my end, not sure. It should have come up via XMMS but it did not. In fact, I didn't even get a connect attempt for some reason.
