/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>812197
Why don't you just stream shit on the web?
It's even legal.

>>812198

I do already, but want to go on air.

>inb4 hur FCC

The FCC only has duresdiction in The united states.

>>812207

& DTI/Ofcom whoever tf in Bongoland, etc. - whats your point here exactly, caller?

Its pirate, its illegal, buy a transmitter, pick a frequency (unused is alyways good) and high vantage point to setup - move around often, or get a portable setup - get caught, get fined, dont, give up, go legal, buy a big house, found a Media Empire, takeover Clearchannel and Murdoch, etc.

>>812207
Unlicensed broadcasting on the FM and AM radio bands at significant power is illegal pretty much everywhere. Laws for very low power stations vary.
Besides, if it was legal in OP's country, his station wouldn't be a pirate station.

An audio doco.

Not in some countries.

>>812218
>Non-illegal in nz..

- shame you'd need to disguise yourself as a sheep to get into the place. Prob pretty nice country, by all accounts - but their door policy always reminds of the latest trenidest club on the block - PiA to get in, and when you (finally..) do, the drinks are overpriced, and the only available females have wool between the ears.

>tldr - its probably non-illegal there, because theres no one to hear it for about 200 miles in any direction anyway.

>>812220
And then there is Italy:

Thanks for this, great stuff.

>>812218

As an Aussie, fuck you Kiwi pricks.

>>812215

I'm going to grab one of these pic related off ebay and have a crack.

>>812244
They are spectrily dirty. Most are based around the Rohm BH series chips.

>>812244
And yeah I wouldn't mind being a kiwi in that regard.

>As an Aussie
If your in the country you may be able to get an lpon license. Most of the suberban ones are horded or too expencive.

There is always lipds if you want to try the /jp/ fm band with 100mW

>>812247

LPON station less than 2kms from me. Vision. I'm in Brisneyland.

Stupid Christians fucking everything up.

>>812244
yo.. bear in mind, thats like 0.5W tho, be lucky to make it to the end the block, just saying - would work to try it out, in favor of it, your unlikely to get busted with it (that power level may even be legal, AUS, dunno..), but, you gonna get frustrated with the lack of range quick. We used to use a 50W from the top of a hill, with a good arial - that setup was good for miles.

nowadays, you can seperate/remote mount the transmitter, broadcast to that via internet or whatever, only thing that can get busted then is the transmitter site itself - see:

http://freemedia.blogspot.de/2012/09/how-to-set-up-pirate-radio-station-in.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KBFR_%28pirate_radio%29

(both KBFR) - etc. for setup info/ideas.

dude in ebay got the model you looking at ready-mounted in a waterproof box:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Radio-Transmitter-CZH-CZH-05B-/151678011045

- throw in a Pi as streambox, done - as said, transmitter power is way too low but.

Wanna step it up a gear? anything 10-70W should cover a good area - good transmitter cost you maybe 10 times as much tho.

- remember, keep moving it around (or keep everything 12V/mobile) if you start with bigger transmitters - otherwise, you will get busted, eventually, srsly.

>>812251
>Brisneyland
There was some dude up there with a facebook page but the acma took an interest and everyone vaporised. If you get on make sure you are on a clear frequency. Some dick got busted a wile back for transmitting with an overlapping sideband over a commercial station.

>>812252
>even be legal, AUS, dunno.

10 microwatts is legal here :(

>>812197
>pirate radio
You don't, and you sure as fuck don't ask about doing illegal shit on /diy/, please fuck off.

I want to know how to hack into a TV station in the states and start broadcasting my own images in their station.

>>812336
>this faget again

>>812336
>Christ, we got a live one 'ere..

<- heres a Gold Badge for your Sterling Efforts, Sir - now fuck off yourself.

Dudes talking about a 0.5W FM transmitter, FFS - as opposed to the usual 'legal' /diy/ lunatics, attempting to harness their neighborhood telephone lines to the nearest 750,000 volt power mast and shit. As such, he's also (relatively..) fucking harmless, now, STFU already.

>>812349
>>812351
Get fucked.

>>812354
no u

The problem with pirate radio isn't legality, it's that no one under the age of 45 listens to the radio anymore.

>>812349
Man that cat looks prime for rubbing again my face

>>812365
Sadly, he is dead. rip in pieces, colonel meow

>>812217
Does anyone know the track that they play around 51:00?

>>812349
>>812355
>>812367

Rest in RIP, Colonel. Know that your awesomeness turned a cat-hater into a FORMER cat hater.

What breed is that? Persian + Neighbourhood mix + Mop + WD40?

>>812383
>+ Mop + WD40?

Before Industry Canada shut me down I was broadcasting about 30km in a hilly area. I was using a 30 watt AAREFF transmitter with a J-pole antenna.

>>812336

Thanks dudebro, you've saved me from a life of criminal activity and rag rets, now be a good little fuckstick and fuck off and annoy some other cunts.

>>812419
>>+ Mop + WD40?

top kek, seriously nice cat tho.

>>812356
This is a concern, Spotify killed the radio star.

>>812270

Shannon is his name.

10 Micro wots?? LOL I'm gunna go with the 5 or 15 watt, depends on the available dollerydoos.

>>812490

Got any stories, especially about getting raided?

Look into an ametour radio licence. In general you are not allowed to broadcast to anyone and everyone (other than CQ calls) but if you are not anoying anyone then nothing will happen.

Also in a lot of places with a full licence you can transmit at pretty decent power

>>812773

I wouldn't be a pirate then, so what's the point?

>>812843
Study amateur radio for the tech, then build your own pirate radio equipment.

No one will care. That hobby was obsolete when I was young, and that was a very long time ago. You could skip the actual electronics and speak into a dead microphone if you want to save money.

DJs are being wiped out by technology even in legal radio. Nobody listens to radio any more unless they are extremely old and cannot into Compact Discs.

>Does anyone know the track that they play around 51:00?

Answer at 49:19

>>812356
Hey buddy I'll have you know I'm 27 and I always tune in to Coast To Coast AM when I need background noise.

>>813671
It's not the white rabbit

Still don't understand the point. With pirate radio, you'll be geographically limited to 1% of your potential Internet audience. And you'll have no feedback to know how many listeners you really have; you might get fined for broadcasting to two listeners, which would be really pathetic.

>>813695
But you can't stick it to the man with an internet radio station, and you won't be broadcasting from the DANGER ZONE

>>813698
And there is a lot of the world that doesn't have mobile internet covarage.

>>813694
oh my dog thanks

>>812490
A black SUV showed up at my door, he identified himself and asked to see my equipment. He said he was quite impressed with my setup, took a couple pictures and then was on his way. He didn't confiscate anything and was really decent about it. He also forwarded me info on building a community radio and the fees to do so.
