A four day DIY workshop session sponsored by Free Radio Berkeley in which you learn how to build either a 10, 40 or 150 watt FM broadcast (88-108 MHz, standard FM band) transmitter (and other related items such as antennas) and set up a low power community radio station capable of covering a broadcast radius up to 10-15 miles depending on terrain and antenna height.

With an emphasis on direct, hands-on learning, you will learn how to solder, identify electronic components, assemble an FM broadcast transmitter from a kit of parts, build and tune an antenna, properly setup and test broadcast equipment and much more. Further, you will be given an overview of basic electronics and broadcast engineering.

A workshop fee of $200 to $300 sliding scale is charged. At the end of the radio camp session you may purchase the 40 watt transmitter for $450 or the 10 watt transmitter for $300 or the 150 watt transmitter for $650 - the cost of the kit, power supply and enclosure.

The camp is open to anyone 16 years and older. The Radio Camp session runs Friday through Monday (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.). It will be held at FRB’s shop in Rodeo,CA September 1 - 4, 2017
