Hi everyone! I need your help
I'm looking for:
- RFSpace Vivaldi directional antenna
- BladeRF xA4 'Micro’

Can you suggest some websites where I can buy radio equipment secondhand? It's too much expensive for me to buy it brand-new

Thank you very much

I just got into pirate radio and I just wanna know what y’all do like to play on your stations (ps: does anyone know what I tag this post as)

I was u/octoboy4040 and u/stainsofcolor, but i got banned for accidental ban evasion from r/teenagers. To see more about my pirate station, look into those accounts.

Hi

i am a complete beginner in the area of pirate radio and would like to get started. I would like to start with just a cheap 5 watt setup but am unsure of what FM transmitter to start with and what to pair it with? does anyone have any recommendations on what to get and how to start?

Thanks in advance

If anybody here is from europe, do you have a list of the active satcom frequencies cuz i managed to catch only 1

I'm new to pirate radio, would it be easier to a web radio then move to an actual antenna?

Whenever I see stuff like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/megalophobia/comments/1fuc653/2000_feet_from_the_top/

I can't be the only one thinking if I give you a 6 pack of Redbull, do you think you could install some kit while you are up there mate ;-)

Hello, analog TV is before my time but I found a Sony Watchman from 1985 at a yard sale yesterday, and proceeded to make a few stops driving along a 35-mile stretch checking for signals. There were some points of different static, and I thought I mightve heard a faint voice in one area, but it couldve been my hopeful imagination. I came home and read that analog was outlawed in 2009 (???)

So is there any chance of finding some independent hobbyist's channel or do you seriously get arrested for trying? I find it hard to believe there arent underground channels for modern analog systems.

Hey, I’m trying to figure out what linear amplifier to get. Frequency of operation is in the 6000 - 6980 pirate band. Input power of the TX is 0.1 to 5W (carrier) and 20 - 30W PEP. Power I want to achieve will likely sit around 100 to 300W at best. Broadcast quality and long duration operation is needed. Good quality signal is a must for my needs since I don’t plan on a cheap setup for high quality operation. Any tips or recommendations are appreciated. 73.

greetings. i'm looking to get a shortwave transmitter. something that can do 5k watts or so. or - i'm open to suggestions. where would i start looking?

Update for my whole house digital TV channel I got another DTV modulator from China

Edit

it seems this one don't do 5.1 though. my other one does

Hi! How are you? I'm writing to you because I would like to buy a power and SWR meter for my FM station on Aliexpress, but I'm not sure which one to choose. The ones I've seen only go up to 50/60 MHz (like the CQV-SWR 120), which if I'm not mistaken doesn't reach the commercial FM range. I searched quite a bit but didn't find any in the 88 to 108 MHz range, am I missing something? I'm from South America, so it's not that easy for me to buy from Amazon, Ebay, and other international sellers.
Thanks a lot!

My coworker always has control of the radio in the work truck and I want to mess with him. He listened to the same 3 fm stations. I’m wondering if there is a portable small fm transmitter so I can play the worst music overtop of the stations he picks. Battery powered.

The title says all

Can I use a dmr radio without a license?

So i will get a new handheld and i will give my friend my old one and we just want to have a secure way of taking cuz we both dont have a license and there are a lot of sad hams in the area so if you guys have any ideas for encrypting other than using radios on 0.5 watts i will be more than glad to hear them

Looking for recommendations for a cheap solution for a low range fm transmitter, needs to be 5ft ish from source for a homemade silent disco set up for a campsite, ideally powered by a car cigarette lighter or portable power bank.

Any advice very much appreciated, J

Anyone wanting to produce their own program and have it broadcast on shortwave, drop me a line. You can advertise it in advance and I will help you with I.D.s if you want. $25 get you 30 min hi-power broadcast time, mostly coast to coast. Might be fun to get your feet wet before jumping in with your own station.

I've started a podcast that I'd love to eventually grow into a colab type project. If anyone wants to contribute ideas, I'm all ears. Here's the latest episode for you to see what it's all about: https://sites.libsyn.com/538847/11-garth-brooks-cant-escape-the-cream

I have a mic but not an amp therefore I can’t use the mic, does anyone know any ways you could hook a mic up with phono without an amp?

I posted yesterday about doing a transmitter with a car adapter and here’s the update, so I’ve got a CD player running into the aux jack on the adapter and then I’ve DC modded the adapter and added an external antenna wire which goes into a fm amp and then to a DIY dipole 1/4 wavelength so I have about 1.5 kilometres of great signal and an extra kilometre of noisy signal so not bad for a car adapter
