Fixed frequency transmitter and disposable receiver system for use in sporting events

A method for transmitting a fixed frequency radio signal to an earpiece unit to provide audio information of an event to a user, comprising the steps of:

• 1) receiving an airwave broadcast signal by a transmitter;
• 2) conditioning the airwave broadcast signal to a single low frequency MHz signal that is not used in transmitting by commercial television, radio, or microwave;
• 3) transmitting said conditioned single low frequency MHz fixed signal by said transmitter over a range having a radius of about 1 mile or less;
• 4) receiving said conditioned single low frequency fixed MHz signal by a receiver in said earpiece unit;
• and
• 5) amplifying said conditioned single low frequency fixed MHz signal by said receiver for audio output through a speaker in said earpiece unit.
