How To Create A Pirate Radio Station
It's really simple, but it took a few years to figure out.First, I'll go over the list of gear I use for easy setup and tear down. Obviously, get a transmitter. Plenty of power for a small town. Here's the full list of ones they make:use the 6th one down from the top- 150W power. They go up to 1000 watts and down to 1watt. UK based company, excellent products.Next you need an antenna.
I prefer one of two antenna's. The first one is an old pirate radio standby called a Comet.
Cheap, easy to set up, easy to tune.http://www.progressive-co. Now this is a big deal for the radio world. Maybe, just maybe, we'll get some decent radio stations on the air again.Start your own low power FM station!March 19, 2012We did it! Today the FCC announced the biggest victory for community radio since we led the fight to pass the Local Community Radio Act more than a year ago. The FCC will dismiss thousands of applications for translators (repeater stations) to clear the airwaves for community radio.
Across the country, hundreds of channels that would have gone to giant networks will now be preserved for our communities to use. This victory would not have happened without years of effective advocacy from Prometheus and grassroots activists. And we couldn't have done it without you. (Scroll down to read our full press release.)Today's announcement will help hundreds of local groups to build their own community radio stations for the first time.
But our work isn't over. We still have another fight ahead at the.
Before we get started, we need to get some things. Here are the parts:. A Raspberry Pi. A SD card With no less than 4 GB (mine was a Micro SD with an adapter). Wire Strippers. About 1' 12 AWG wire (I used 14 AWG, but 12 is better).
A Female pin. Network cable.
Soldering Iron and Solder. Heat Shrink Tubing (But you can use Electrical Tape). Optional: Helping HandsYou will also need a computer, a radio, and a few programs. But I'll get back to those.WARNING. If you want to use any of the images from NOOB's or ever want to use the raspberry pi for anyting other than a radio station, USE A DIFFERENT SD CARD. Don't use the one you've put all your time into because it will replace all data on the sd card.DISCLAIMER.IT IS NOT MY FAULT IF YOU GET IN TROUBLE WITH THE FCC. I TRUST YOU WOULD USE THIS WITH DISCRETION.
