This article is about how to open a pirate radio station. It takes a lot more work to open an FCC FM licensed low power radio station.

Everyone dreams of opening their own radio station. But for this it is necessary not only to launch it, but also to be able to prepare and broadcast programs.

Steps

1. 1 Collect all necessary transmission equipment. If you can't find it, you can make an FM transmitter yourself. There are many websites dedicated to this.
2. 2 Make a good antenna. Remember that a good antenna is imperative for clear and long transmissions. An antenna that performs well at one frequency may not work at another. Make the necessary calculations before making the antenna.
3. 3 Come up with a name for the radio station. Pick a catchy one like Radio Rocker or whatever you like.
4. 4 Determine the frequency. The transmitter used must hold the frequency stably, otherwise it may interfere with other radios.
5. 5 Make all the necessary settings and calculations. Especially if you made the transmitter yourself, as you need to make sure it doesn't transmit on other bands. Explore harmonics and other theories of radio electronics.
6. 6 Prepare programs. If the station is dedicated to music, prepare musical releases, if it is a science radio station, focus specifically on science-related programs.
7. 7 Make programs attractive.

Tips

• Don't make your listeners bored.
• Limit your transmitters to approximately 500 meters.
• Learn the basics of the theory of radio electronics. This will help you improve the transmission of the station.

Warnings

• Do this at your own risk.
• Respect local laws.
• It is illegal to transmit signals without a license, so please obtain an FCC license.
• Make sure your antenna is not pointing towards anyone. RF radiation can be harmful, especially with higher power.
