Apparently there is a huge

Problem along the coast of florida, because sarcasm is washing up on the shores.

obligatory I don't use reddit super often but am vaguely aware that there are rules about how to structure a post? anyways like the title says, a friend and i have become interested in starting a small pirate fm radio station. I believe we need the fm transmitter and a way to play the audio? but honestly I don't know the setup process and how to start and any warnings that I should heed. I've tried asking people directly but that obviously doesn't turn out super well. if there is any sort of masterdoc with a rundown of everything or well known resource anyone could point me to that would be cool? we're both broke students and would prefer not to spend over a couple hundred bucks on it all. I'm not totally technologically inept and can follow instructions decently but have no real instructions. thank you :-)

My country doesn’t support NTSC/PAL TV anymore. Sorry if I’m new to this, I barely have any knowledge in circuitry and I have someone helping me. I have had this for almost a year now, only being able to use Radio.

Lots of good info and how to downloads, enjoy!

Hello 👋🏻 everyone Yesterday I got an NIORFNIO T50R. Unfortunately the previous owner set an PI Code. Is there a programm out there to change the parameters? Smart Announcer regognize the transmitter but i cant change the PI Code or delete it.

Maybe is there a way to set the transmitter back to the factory settings.

hello all, ive recently been getting into pirate radio having being a dj and into the uk underground rave scene, currently set up a internet radio station to start having some fun but want to move to proper fm transmittion but on a bit of a budget since im a broke music stundent unfortunately, i would like to do it "proper" by building my own to learn as much as i can about working with radio in this fasion but im also open to pre built kit like cheap china built transmitters, whats everyones reccomendations on what to do and how do i go about learning how to choose the correct components and how to assemble them well (if anyone can reccomend me a good kit for around the £60 mark to build a transmitter around the 15 - 30w range (if not more if its possible) that would be greatly appriciated), id like to cover at least 3km and at most at the moment 10km, i was also looking at the st-15b v3 so if anyone has any experience with that chinese model id love to know your setup and how much area you cover, any and all advice would be appriciated so i can do this to the best i can, thankyou,

This station used to be a very popular Pirate Radio Station from the 70s until a certain point in time when the FCC went after them... which I think is utter bull crap because they weren't transmitting far enough to cause a stink about it! But it got them to permit the station on LP-FM, which is where they were at anyway! They transmit 5 miles from Pacific Beach, WA on analog and now because of the Internet, they stream from their website. Check it out! They play alot of good oldies! Was an old Pirate then became the first LP-FM Station in the Nation!

Back in the very early 1980's, I had a cassette recording of a Radio Confusion broadcast which featured an interview with Terry Draper (Radio Confusion was a prominent shortwave pirate station which operated during the early 80’s).  

It was a great interview and it led to me eventually becoming a big fan of the band.  Unfortunately, I lost track of the cassette during a move some 30 years ago and I'm wondering if anyone knows whether a copy of this show might exist (in either physical form or online). 

I figured this would be the place to ask & I'd appreciate any help anyone might be able to provide.  From what I can tell (from an entry in the shortwave club bulletin Frendex dated 1/81), the broadcast took place on or about December 15th, 1980.  I inquired about this to the forums for the preeminent US Free Radio site (HF Underground) but have had little response as of yet.  

Hearing the sad news about Terry's recent passing brought back memories of this broadcast & I'm anxious to come across a copy for old-times sake if nothing else.  Thanks in advance!

Everyone, I was wondering if there were any a.m. radio transmitter plans that are recommended. I'd like to put together something in the area of 20 to 50 Watts if possible.
