The RF Workbench / Re: Starting out on Pirate

I appreciate the help ff, and after a day of debating I decided to continue with the project.

Pirate radio is more than just listening to it, you can do it yourself and even if the police are behind you from every step of the way; there is an art to it which to me is something I would like to participate.

So I appreciate the help which has let me finally realise that it's difficult to start the hobby, at the end its rewarding.

After checking out the makerf.com site, I decided to find a good spot to set a station up. I live close to the countryside and a national park so it should be easier to put it up. Since its fairly remote, a inverted vee should be easier to put up as there is a higher density of woodland and therefore more difficult to spot. After a little more planning, the setup will be camoflagued and the antenna also camoed to make it more natural.

So are you telling me that I would need a resonant loop antenna focused on the 'magic' frequencies of pirate radio which is connected to the Radio Anarchy Guerrilla transmitter with a audio modulator and that audio modulator connected to the cheap mp3 player?

So far, I understand what you are trying to tell me and I do appreciate the help and because of the need for a resonant loop antenna, do you have any that you suggest? For instance, any pre-made ones or good designs?

It's pretty difficult to get relevant articles on the internet as people who teach how to build these things are rarer than the ones which teach you how to listen to them   - fortunately this forum exists

Well, considering that I live in London; hiding the transmitter in a bush would be easy.

Tbh, I aim to have a 15 watt output if possible and if you got any suggestions for a transmitter; go ahead but I did see that you were talking about Radio Anarchy's Guerilla kit which should be adequate.

Hiding a transmitter in a park would be easy as police NEVER tread in the parks around my area and mostly around the poorer parts of London because of gang crime. That being said, I aim for this to be national and not in the local area as I find it more of a challenge if I do so and likelihood of being found out is low because of the people density and the over abundance on hiding spots therefore hiding a antenna in dense bushes are very likely to work.

Hey guys, it's me Weighted here.

I was considering having a pirate radio station for a while now and I thought I might as well get into it before it dies on SW. I was checking out this transmitter here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/131528950533 but I need to ask if you guys have any recommendations. I do have some experience with soldering things onto a PCB.

I live in a busy city and therefore would be easy to hide it so I was considering having the transmitter, a cheap mp3 player and batteries (24 AA batteries cost around 2 pounds) but I want to know if I would need to get a modulator for it to function as I want it to as I only want it around 10-15 watts.

My second question is if I need anything else except for the batteries, mp3 player and the transmitter.

I think I would be secure email wise as I can always use ProtonMail to receive and check emails as it's very secure.

Anyways, those are my questions for now

I was about to say if you needed the modulator for it to function properly.

Currently, they are sold out but he said that he is building more.

Great Songs, I enjoyed it!

On a side note, I haven't seen you for a while Echo. I did hear about you moving house but that may just be a rumour. Also could I please have details about the Birthday Broadcast tomorrow (Time, etc, etc)
