This thread is for the discussion and planning of setting up low power radio stations to propagate right wing opinions.
Small, low powered FM stations are already being operated by commie freaks and weirdos throughout the country, sharing their marginal opinions. There’s nothing stopping us from creating LPFM and AM stations throughout the country. Alt right radio stations would be a good way to redpill the masses, and spread our message to people currently completely unreached by the internet, Sup Forums, and our memes.
>Who can set up an LPFM station? The licenses are inexpensive, but only available to "non-profit organization, association or entities with an educational purpose", but it wouldn't be too difficult to form some 501c nonprofits to run and manage these out of members' houses. I forsee alt right broadcasters covering every metro area in the country.
>What could we broadcast? Thousands and thousands of hours of audio content in the way of right wing podcasts, broadcasts, speeches, etc is already available for free and more is produced on a weekly basis. Optionally, local interest news and shows could be covered as well to enhance the community aspect.
>What equipment is needed? A transmitter, some audio processing equipment, and a broadcast antenna. Equipment could be setup in the attic of a residence to start.
>How much would it cost? From the reading I’ve done, the license is around $1,000, and equipment around $5,000. With legal fees and everything expect to be around $10,000 to launch a site. Ongoing expenses would be minimal and be mostly electricity and time keeping the equipment operational.
>How big of an area would it cover? LPFM stations can cover a radius of 3 to 5 miles, which in populous areas can reach tens of thousands of people.
>I have a small group that wants to start a station, but we don’t have the money. Right wing nonprofit educational organizations can be setup to accept tax free donations to setup and maintain. Tools like goyfundme could be used to help raise startup capital from sympathetic groups and individuals.

We don't have the same freedom here but this a good idea. The problem is that, like other platforms, they will just shut it down. Any platform that requires a ((( license ))) is going to be susceptible to being taken down.
Jonathan Bailey
THIS THIS FUCKIN THIS THIS. You don't have any freedom, subject. You really need to get back to work and stop posting on Sup Forums More to your point, however, PajeetPai is /ourguy/ the licenses will not be infringed.
Asher Hughes
Aint got a lot of time right now, but the systems required to get this shit up and running are pretty easy to assemble. I highly suggest we get to work on a kit and some schematics. Shitposting to the airwaves is the next great leap.
Hunter Young
Don't bother with LPFM, the coverage area is literally nonexistent. Buy airtime on commercial shortwave stations, more folks listen out there than you think.
Gabriel Richardson
Shortwave is also a great idea, same feed separate transmitters. BTW Max coverage isnt what I'd want to accomplish with LPFM, it would be to provide an alternative to (((Clearchannel))) transmitters. AM may also be an option. Software defined radio operating in unlicensed spectrum would be the final form of this idea.
Thomas Collins
Unlike private platforms like Facebook and Twitter, barring violating very specific profanity standards, the FCC would be unable to revoke your license for legally protected political speech under the first amendment. This is one of the biggest advantages of public airwaves.
Chase Fisher
Shortwave would also have tremendously high startup costs, like in the 6-7 figures if I understand correctly? We could rent airtime on existing stations, but we'd be to the mercy of station owners not pulling the plug when liberals started complaining, and ongoing expense would be very high.
>Software defined radio operating in unlicensed spectrum would be the final form of this idea.
Is this something normies could tap into? Sounds like you'd need very specialized equipment to receive these broadcasts, no?

LPFMfag reporting in:
Not a difficult system to set up at all! Would highly recommend you all try as I've run a station out of my apartment on and off for years.
As far as automation software goes. Radiodj.ro is free and has an active forum supporting it.
The cost of getting into lpfm is pretty low if you're willing to put in some work and assemble components yourself.
UK is famous for pirate radio. I'd recommend you use the model I've heard described before: have a central server that handles all the audio playback. Have multiple client PCs that can play that audio set up around the city. Ideally all within the maximum broadcast range of your transmitter so your reach is consistent enough. One person takes the transmitter and sets it up at their location. You run it from that location for as long as you can until the government comes knocking at your door. Tell them to fuck off and come back with a warrant. The transmitter then moves to the next location. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Zachary Scott
Nevermind I missed your flag. I'd guess you'd be a lot more limited with usable content? Maybe more in the dog whistle spectrum? This is outside of my area of knowledge.
Juan Sanders
A beginners set up to go from Virgin podcaster to Chad shortwave broadcaster is about a thousand illuminati bux, not bad. Boosting that signal world-wide could be done for another couple grand of parts. Normies spend more on two servings avocado toast than they would for a serviceable software radio. digikey.com/catalog/en/partgroup/software-defined-radio-receiver-usb-stick-rtl2832-with-r820t/67291

Bump this. Guess what I'm buying today.
Ryder Wood
It would be difficult for a single person to effectively operate a low-powered FM station that had an impact on local opinion. What we need is a network of right wing commentary that an individual can stream from the internet onto local FM airwaves.
Camden Ward
>right wing I meant alt-right. Fuck neo-conservativism.
NOTICE: THE FCC IS NOT ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR NEW LOW POWER FM NONCOMMERCIAL EDUCATIONAL BROADCAST STATIONS AT THE PRESENT TIME.
Jonathan Nelson
There's tons of content already, like 50 weekly TRS podcasts, plus massive archives of everything from Dr Pierce to GLR to Duke. We could make new content specifically for this project, but it's not a prerequisite.
They have windows that open in various states from time to time. You have to be ready to apply when the window opens with little to no notice.
Easton Scott
Low energy.
Sebastian Morris
>PajeetPai Pai sold us out to the ISPs. He has clearly demonstrated that he can never be trusted in the matters of the people. You have been conned.
Justin Rodriguez
I have a building located near two major freeways. I've thought about broadcasting the Mein Kampf audiobook on low power FM while people are stuck in traffic.
Nathaniel Diaz
Look into microwave transmitters if shortwave goes tits up.
Alexander Garcia
Does anyone still own an FM receiver? If so how often do you turn it on and scan for random-ass frequencies?
There's a reason commies and weirdos do this, it's because they're fucking retards.
Cameron Powell
3 or 4 years ago, S.W.I.M. created a small transmitter with a microcontroller, a cheapo MP3 module and an old LiPo battery. Put all in a inconspicuous box and attached it with a magnet on a pole. It was close to a road with high traffic and the frequency was trimmed to overlap with a popular radio station. It had like a radius of 1-2 miles. The microcontroller turned the transmission on and off, based on outside light.
Few days later it was gone and the pole was fingerprinted by LE. So it was heard and the gooberment with all his forces, quickly solved this heinous crime.
But these days, radio is going digital (DAB), at least here in Europe. Not sure if it is 'easy' to create digital pirate stations, but I don't think so.
