Hello /diy/nosaurs, Me and my bro would like to start our own

this is an insane idea. you gotta go through your nation's govt, it takes years - if ever, thousands of pages of documentation, and radio is in decline: in Norway they're shutting down all FM stations, and other nations will follow suit.

meanwhile, on the internet, you can get a piece of software and be broadcasting in hours without even asking anyone's permission.

We are in a third world so that wouldnt be as hard in terms of government issues.
Do you have any experience in fm radio broadcasting? If so any tips?

if you're in the badlands, just order an FM transmitter kit from the US: it's essentially one transmitter -- 10 to 100W as you see fit -- and an antenna. hook up a little mixer with MIC and AUX inputs and you're good to go. you need to find a hill for better transmission.

i used to know of a source of FM transmitters but it's been 10 years since i've looked. i'm sure google knows some.

Americans can broadcast up to 4 watts on any frequency except the emergency channel. However, the law does not specify whether this is measured at the outputs or at the antenna. Thus, a pirate radio station could reach dozens of miles legally.
Emergency frequencies are 121.5 MHz, 243.0 MHz, and 406 MHz.

A mistake common to pirate radio stations is insufficient selectivity with their carrier frequency. This causes them to transmit on a much wider bandwidth than they should. This tends to piss people off and complaints to the FCC eventually get them shut down.
So don't scrimp on RF filters.

I think you're confusing CB regulations for regulations for the entire US.

There are strict limits on how powerful a signal can be in different bands, what kind of modulation is used, the ERP, and all sorts of other things.

I assume you are in the USA? Check the FCC regulations at:

I have no experience in the legal world of commercial radio. But I am aware that it's a capital & time intensive process. Transmitter placement, engineering studies, liability insurance.. just to scrape the surface of things.

Your link reminds me.
Anybody in the US looking to do their own radio station should look into LPFMs.
