Re: FM gear and getting started
Well, there are 3 basics you will need. A source, a transmitter, and the antenna.
You already have your source.
A good small FM transmitter can be acquired from the internet, but getting it into your nation could be difficult, so then you could look at hand-building your transmitter. Those plans/parts lists can also be found on the web, and not as hard to get that across the line, just call it a science project.
Antennas can be bought or constructed, just the same as the transmitter.
You don't necessarily have to be a pirate that drowns out another stations frequency, just tune your transmitter to an unused frequency.
An in-line amplifier would boost your power between the source and the transmitter, and might cause your signal to be detected by the watchers. You don't want to be picked up.
Then again, I don't know about the policies surrounding pirate radio up in CAN, I'm only fluent in USA policy.
