This article will tell you how to open a pirate radio station. Opening a low frequency radio station with an FCC license takes a lot more work.
Having a radio station is everyone's dream. But opening it is not enough, you must also be good at managing it and presenting programs..
Steps
Step 1. Collect the equipment needed for transmissions
If you don't find any, you can build an FM radio transmitter yourself. There are many helpful websites dedicated to DIY radio transmitter projects.
Step 2. Make a good antenna
Remember that a good antenna is the key to a clear, long-range broadcast signal. An antenna that tunes only one frequency well may not work as well. Make the necessary calculations before buying or building an antenna.
Step 3. Find a name for your radio station
Make it a catchy name, like RADIO ROCKER or something else of your choice.
Step 4. Determine a frequency
The transmitter used must have good frequency stability, otherwise it will interfere with surrounding stations.
Step 5. Calibrate well and do the necessary calculations
You will need to find ways to make sure you are not broadcasting on other bands, especially if you have built the transmitter yourself. Research harmonics and other theories of radio electronics.
Step 6. Prepare the schedules
If your station is dedicated to music, prepare specials on music; if it is dedicated to science it creates interesting science programs.
Step 7. Make programs engaging
