How much for Part 15, FCC Certified Low Power Station?

Lets say I wanted to buy a transmitter and antenna and set up one of those Part 15 FCC lower power stations. How much is the equipment going to cost me? I'm not talking about programming, only equipment. Thanks! The most expensive part will be a decent antenna that complies (loosely) to the FCC regulations of no more than 10' of antenna total.. this if you're discussing Part 15 AM. My mistake. I'm talking about AM station. I was told several miles in the day and maybe a mile at night. How much for the equipment? Very good. AM Part 15 stations are capable of going a lot farther. As for equipment, you can get a Talking House transmitter for between $40-100 that will do very well. I have a couple guaranteed to work for $60 each, but you can find them on ebay as well. Go for the latest models to make them most compatible. If you want something really good, look for a North Country AM88 or similar (ask around on the rec.antiques.radio+phono NG). Again, the most expenditure would be a decent, compliant antenna. These can be purchased in kit form and are easy to assemble, but do cost between $200-300 in some cases. They are MUCH better than your standard 10' wire, though. I talked with a guy a few days ago who is thinking about creating one of these stations near me. I told him I have a degree in communications and was wanting to know if he needed any "help." We talked about his station and he asked me for opinions on what he should broadcast. He wants to broadcast classic music and talk/news/weather. I did not tell him this, but I assumed his station would have employees and I would be one and be paid. I sure would not do this just to make him money. In our talk and emails there has been not mention of me being paid. Do people who set up these stations employ dj's and such? Do a web stream. www.icecast.org |
