[hackerspaces] Make your own FM radio station transmitter at HOPE #9!

[Mitch Altman]

The Prometheus Radio Project will host a hands-on electronics workshop for HOPE #9 attendees to build their own low-power FM radio transmitter!

 

HOPE #9
July 13-15
New York City

The simple FM transmitter design by Tetsuo Kogawa uses only 14 components and can be built in just a couple of hours. The final transmitter is small enough to carry in your pocket and has a broadcast range of about 10 m under the best conditions. You can plug in your mp3 player and broadcast your own signal with this DIY FM transmitter!

 

This is a great introduction to RF circuits. Come learn about capacitors and resistors - beginners welcome!

 

Following the workshop, Prometheans will be available to talk about how you can get involved in the upcoming opportunity to apply for community radio stations.
