Looking to Start a camus radio station

Post by robflyz »

I go to college in a small town in Kansas. I would like to bradcast no more than 4-5 miles. I would like to make a cheap and effecient set up. What sort of set up would some of you reccomend for my needs. I am planning on running the station via a computer, all the music will be digital yet i would like also to be able to speak over the airwaves. I am sorry if this has been disscussed in another thread, I am just to busy right now to go through the whole sit. I would appreciate any help you could lend. rob

I would like to recommend the music automation software that I use on http://www.fmgodzilla.com for you to use on your future college station. I have been using OtsDJ for a few years, and absolutely love it. You can download a fully functional demo version by going to http://www.otsdj.com

You know...I may just do that! At the moment I am seriously thinking about buying the PCI-MAX 2005 transmitter. It seems that the one that I purchased from Ramsey Electronics is on the way to room temperature. I have a friend in the states that bought the previous years model, and he loves it. So, maybe in a few days I will make my decision, and then will be more than happy to post a link on my front page, and on my Links page too. I will spend a little time reading the forums to see what others have experienced with the PCI MAX card. My only concern is with possible noise from the computer power supply. Have a good day, or night!

UPDATE!!! Okay, your logos are now posted on 2 locations on my website. I hope that I can help generate some traffic for your company.
I am looking forward to hearing what the PCI-MAX 2005 sounds like on the air here in Japan.

transmitting over the power lines

Post by revspalding »

Years ago I found an old tube transmitter which had no antenna jack... It did have a couple of high voltage, low capacitance capacitors, which were connected from the low pass filter on the output tank circuit of the power amplifier back to the ac line input.... I had never seen anything like that, and my old mentor from college said that many colleges and schools used similar transmitters which basically used the existing power lines for an antenna. The signal would be fed in series back to the first power transformer on a telephone pole... The signal wouldn't get past that on the power line, but would get outside the building and around the campus with enough signal strength to cover the campus.... Any ideas on how we could modify any of your transmitters to accomplish this? Or would you recommend against anything like that... Seems to me that it would be playing with fire...
