Seize the Airwaves!

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. An entry level 10-15 transmitter kit made in China is
available as a low cost option for $60 without power supply or 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.
