Raspberry Pirate Radio (Raspberry Pi)
« on: March 11, 2014, 1308 UTC »
"This simple hack turns your Raspberry Pi into a powerful FM transmitter! It has enough range to cover your home, DIY drive-in movie, a high school ball game, or even a bike parade (depending on the stragglers)."

Perhaps one of the more intriguing aspects of this is: "The Raspberry Pi’s broadcast frequency can range between 1Mhz and 250Mhz, which may interfere with government bands."
