Republic Broadcasting Network (RBN) is a satellite, shortwave, and Internet radio operation based in the state of Texas. It is run by John Stadtmiller, who advertises it as a "truth radio station". In 2010, it received publicity in the news after one of its broadcasters was revealed to be a leader in the Guardians of the Free Republics, a Sovereign Citizen-affiliated group that had sent threatening letters to all 50 United States governors.

1. I don't begrudge the Right the freedom to broadcast over the airwaves.

Provided the Left enjoys the same freedom.

2. For anyone who's interested

you can buy very high quality FM transmitters on the internet for about $50 that will cover a few miles with a decent antenna. Even the included rubber duckie antenna is good for a mile or better depending on terrain. If you care to apply for a LPFM (Low Power FM) license you can get a higher power transmitter for under $200 that could cover 15-20mi.
Search for "CZH-05B" to find your basic transmitter.
