Audaciously Oberlin Radio Transmission Assholes

FCC Transmitter limitations

I know we were talking about this two weeks ago.  The manual for this kit
is here:
which described the FCC limits in appendices A and B pretty well.  It is tldr but worth a skim, sounds like you can broadcast a house sized signal or a city block on a good day. Also the kit is pretty excellent because you can run it off of battery power... though it's not really cheap.

... history

Been thinking about the history of radio, gathering resources, glancing over them. I've OhioLinked the Ken Burns documentary Empire of the Air. Not sure it's what I'm looking for. But might be. Let me know if you're up for a 120 minute history lesson. Otherwise, the PBS site has some good shit connected to it:

Also, something our "weird things to do with sound" discussions keep reminding me about - The Voicemail Project:
