I operated an unattended 87.9 for ten years in two OK towns and one OK city, 30' mast with distinctive circularly polarized FM element. I think the greatest dangers are to shuffle music you like that happens to be popular, pull political talk crap from the web of uncertain content. Talking yourself is fine if you want and try to maintain a reliable weekly schedule. But be aware of curiosity, a human voice increases the chance you might some day have an FCC CE3k (Close Encounter of the 3rd Kind). Never happened to me. 87.9 is great because it is the default freq of a lot of small plug in transmitters, so tiny signals are ubiquitous and it's the low edge of the band. Never sell anything or rebroadcast Internet sources that sell things (exception is Old Time Radio shows with ancient commercials). Find a playlist of older things that aren't 'hits'. Don't let any broadcast FM salesman conclude, "they're taking listeners from our market." Stay away on the band from Public Radio Stations, they are likely complainers and if there's one at 88.1 then bump to a few slots above it. No 'fake' IDs with letters of course, and I'd suggest no jingles or station cute names. Psychologically this gives some busybody an entity in their mind to oppose. Be nothing but a signal. I did week long marathons of CBS Radio Theater, old Prairie Home Companions from the time before Keilor was savagely MeToo'd, and long form rock like ELP and reggae and classics and whatnot shuffled from a big eclectic list of older everything (but not 'hits'). Once I did a solid week of one long ~40 minute seamless loop of wave after wave of crowd laughter. Nothing but laughter, crowds and individuals with distinctive laughs. As the week progressed I felt the average quality of the FM Band increasing.
