Jamming someone else's frequency is more likely to get you shut down quicker anon-kun. Pretty sure the fines are stiffer too.

>>59467541
yeah this, I don't want to bother anyone either

>>59467497

fuck off frequencypleb

>>59467541
There's practically a limitless number of frequencies available.He never specified a wavelength.

>>59467497
Use wifi and everyone listening has to act as an access point

>>59467497
What the would be the point of you running a pirate numbers station? You have a network of spies you need to send messages too?

All my peers are bored as fuck with life; they try to full the void with partying and drugs but nothing changes. Our underground music scene is dead and every race is sick of left/right politics. I think having a pirate radio station would at least add some culture to the city and maybe people would tune in while they're studying.

>>59467618
Fair, but assuming he wants listeners, it's probably going to be bog standard AM medium wave in the 800+MHz range, or FM in 87.5-108KHz.

Hey OP, there's also shortwave, which is actually easy to get legal on, assuming you don't want to deal with the FCC. Can give you global reach with not much power.

>>59467497
Just make an internet one :^)

Run that shit through the internet, man, broadcast though a moving transmitter every day. Hams are everywhere and love an excuse to practice their RDF techniques.

The FCC does not fuck around.

Godspeed, anon. Doing that has always been a dream of mine.

>>59467497
Whats yiur handle gonna be?

>>59467721
This. What? Were you thinking people were sit in there cars all day to listen to your station? Nobody carries radios anymore.

>>59467733
>not wanting the aspie audience

>>59467497
pick one with the worst signal strength.
Unless you live right next to 200 radio towers, there should be something available.
How far do you plan to reach anyway?

>>59467733
the local yikyak is on board and I'm planning on spreading fliers around the city/campus

>>59467712
>>59467826
>there's also shortwave, which is actually easy to get legal on
gonna look into this thanks anon
>Can give you global reach with not much power.
5 mile radius would be more than enough and if I wanted it to be global I could always stream online

>>59467761
dunno, dubs decide?

>>59467865
Oh yeah, be really fucking careful on or around any military/airport/maritime frequencies. Any shenanigans there could upgrade your penalties from scary slap on the wrist to PMITA prison.

>>59467910
>military/airport/maritime frequencies
You mean like those found at Logan Airport and Boston Harbor?

This is beyond the scope of 4chan. Interference is a tough thing to predict.You may be transmitting at a given frequency, but there's shit like harmonics that can be a real issue.You wouldn't even know you're doing anything wrong until the FCC arrives to put it's boot up your ass. This is generally why a license is required to do these things.

>>59468238
Sad but true. Radio licensing is only partly a (((federal))) money extraction scheme, it's mostly to ensure that something pretty complicated can be used by the greatest amount of people possible.

That said, what I'd do if I were you is find a radio station somewhere that doesn't broadcast 24x7 and hop on that frequency on their downtime.

>>59467497
Don't do it man. Ham radio fucks are guaranteed to fucking triangulate your position and put you in jail for violating their fucking god given right to the radio spectrum.
Start an internet radio better.

>>59468369
I mean, the worst that can happen is they give me a warning first right?

Nope. Here's the usual sequence of events:

1. You annoy someone, probably a ham or another licensed user.

2. You get reported to the FCC

3. They send out a couple guys from the closest field office to RDF your ass and locate where you're transmitting from. You won't know when this happens.

4. One day you'll get a letter in the mail saying you owe $15,000+

5. If you ignore this, bad things happen.

6. Oh yeah, good luck ever getting a license in the future.

>>59468507
Nope.You'd be at the mercy of whoever runs the show locally.If things have been slow at your local branch of the FCC, they may choose to create some drama.They have the authority to do some pretty ridiculous things.

>underground music scene
617fag here, pirate radio is asking to die would suggest internet, onionland is barren af so anything new gets on a spider within 90 seconds, i have actually measured this and am half writing a paper on the topic.

>>59467676
That's the rationale for a pirate radio station you have yet to explain why you want it to be a numbers station.

>>59468567
It's roughly equal odds whether they first give you a NOUO (you're unlicensed, we know, cut it out or else) or a NAL (you fucked up, you owe us money)

Example of the first:

Example of the second:

>>59468628
Explain more!

>>59468622
It would be *REALLY* nice if Trump were to defund these assholes.

Hell, nobody can even GET legal right now because the fuckers won't even take applications for broadcast stations.

>>59468634
From what I've read it seems like they're harder to track? Anyway, I don't know what I'm going to do if >>59468567 >>59468622 these are true.

I'm still reading about it

>>59468628
>>59468668
yeah if you guys have any more info that'd be great. I'd really love to get this off the ground

>>59468683
The only thing that makes a "numbers station" hard to track is that they broadcast at very random times.

>>59468668
explanation is as follows

> make tor hidden service with http server
> link new hidden service on high traffic hidden service that is constantly spidered
> wait 90 seconds max
> ohay a spider is indexing this
there is so much nothing on tor it is scary. the place is tiny but monitored like crazy, good for anyone seeking to make information spread fast.

>have a bunch of rando onions i host
for what purpose?

>>59468704
2nd guy you tagged

Go to infinity chan 4+4chan
( beware: It is not indexed by Google)

Go to tech and on the index pinned thread, there exists links to other related boards

Go to /ham/ or /hamradio/ ??

There are lots of field manuals from the U.S. Army that contain guides on broadcasting behind enemy lines

There are many other PDFs hosted too , this is just one example

Best of luck lad

I read a story about guy from CCC that was analyzing Tor for child p0rno stuff (to see how much is out there).
While he was on one of sites he started seeing his facebook pictures amongst the CP

that's the stuff of nightmares m8

You should create a station on fm that does nothing but fart noises on loop

>>59467497
Create an online radio station and shill it to death on Twitter. It's easier and the feds won't get up your ass if you interfere with someone's spectrum.

>inb4 fuck the system
The FCC will jail your ass on the second infraction sometimes (since it's easy as fuck to unintentionally transmit over large spectrum chunks at once, which might also include military bands).

>>59467497
Bostonfag here, we actually debated doing this.
Find some MIT kids, the problem is the FCC will shut you down. Have two or more transmitters and switch them frequently.
Funny side story, I originally went to Wentworth for electromechanical engineering, and part of why I went was they had a radio station. Turns out, engineering school, so the transmitter meant to transmit the two block campus radius got tweaked and transmitted as far as Providence until the FCC shut it down. No radio station for me.

Those Brown snob cunts probably got triggered and made the call
