I am located in a very old black neighborhood. This area needs a station! It would be used for community information and for collection and distribution of donations and services to inspire and help those in need. Love your channel! I hope whoever wins, forwards this blessing to help others.
wanting to help people in need is why we need to communicate more. So many people only think of themselves and not others. Don't hate on someone who wants to reach out and help the community.

I used to run a station out of my basement. Strictly music and community announcements. My neighbors would listen. I ran two turntables, two cd players, a couple of cassette decks processed through an Alto 2.0 compressor/limiter. It sounded superb! I had a small 2 watt FM stereo generator. I worked in radio in my 20's and 30's during the 1980's and 90's. I am retired now and this would be an awesome, at home hobby that could serve my rural neighborhood. This is so cool!
It would be used for our neighborhood in a small town in the mountains. We don't get many stations at all up here. We have a large population of older shut in's that would really appreciate being in the loop. Thank you for all you do.
I don’t really deserve anything. There are some great comments. I do plan to buy one. What a great way to disseminate information during an emergency. Thank you for your time and energy in doing these videos.
Id like to have one to legitimately have a community radio station. We have a lot of elderly in our area and also a few bad apples it would be good to help with the neighborhood watch and help us work together to weed out local thieves. I think it would be awesome! Keep up the good work Man, love the content especially the CB radio reviews. 🤙
If I won this transmitter I would use it to amplify local voices, including local bands and local independent journalists who have a youtube channels. I live in Seattle in the heart of the area formerly known as CHOP/CHAZ during the George Floyd protests a few years ago, and if we ever find ourselves in a similar situation I would be ready to offer radio broadcast information and updates to anybody with a radio, amplifying POC voices the best way I know of.
I live in a 55+ community outside of Palm Springs, CA. Several years ago the Smooth Jazz station out here flipped to Classic Rock. This has left no radio station in the area that plays their favorite music. A few years ago I setup a transmitter here at my house. I was able to transmit my online Smooth Jazz Station that covered many of the mobile home communities here. They played the station at the pool. People commented all the time how much they enjoyed the music. When the pandemic hit the pool was closed, and we needed money. So if I win this transmitter it will put a smile on everyone's face who live out here. Also we are behind the transmitter site for the stations out here that picking up the stations are very hard. Especially the translator stations. There are no Smooth Jazz radio stations here in the desert. Thanks
What a great little thing to have.. I am to old to really use it.. But you could do a great neighborhood thing. Have fun giving that away.. make them keep you posted so we can know how it goes..
Since finding your channel I have dug out my old CB radio, stated setting up a base station, bought a used shortwave radio, and a handheld emergency radio. I would love to set up a station to help out my community by keeping them informed during emergency situations and when someone in our area is in need. It would also be a backup for our Church for outdoor services. Thanks for the opportunity!
Hey there Eric, in 1991 I discovered Rush Limbaugh, I am talk radio junkie. In a world of pod-casting, I prefer terrestrial radio and antenna TV. I used to say the best part of my job was that I get to listen to Glenn Beck and Rush everyday. Naturally Rush is now with the Lord, but because of him, I developed my love for radio. Although I do not have a great radio voice, I am a street preacher. With the world going crazy and censorship increasing, I think having a local station for my small town would be really cool, I could also use it at church, as I am the audio video guy and yes I do everything on Linux, I am a nerd. God Bless Eric and thanks for your videos.
I've been wanting to start a neighborhood radio station for a few years. I've had people pester me all my life to go into radio because of my voice. We live in the country among a group of about 60 one acre lots. Our community is in the middle of farmland in southern Arizona off old Historic Highway 80. My thoughts are to air my podcasts daily and fill in with old Art Bell episodes that I have collected over the years. I currently have an AM transmitter, along with several mics and two mixing boards that I have used to voice-over sailing vids for my TH-cam channel. This would give me exposure on FM that would boost my ability to reach others. Thanks for your consideration.
I live in a very rural community of retired to elderly. We watch for each other and have a private social media group to stay in touch. I've been thinking about talking to the group about radio for cell/data outages. That radio may be just what we need.
Welp, I can't say my reason is any better or worse than the rest of the comments here, but I can say that my inner radio dork would *LOVE* to have one of these! I live near a fairly small rural town and the rest of "local" radio pretty much sucks. Thanks for the opportunity Eric(k?)!
I don't want to win this. I'm just glad you have done another video on a portable radio transmitter. The reason I currently don't own a CB, Shortwave, GRMS or FM transmitter is I don't know what to say if I did own one. I really don't have anything to add to the conversations which are already taking place out there. I once did own a CB but the only people I ever talked to were my friends. I really felt self conscious interrupting other peoples conversations. Anyway, thank you for making this video. More radio receiver/transmitter videos please. As a quick side note your shed really turned out good.
Thank you for the honest comments and continued support. It can be weird just joining in on a conversation, growing up I was taught to wait until people were done speaking before asking something
I would use it to broadcast alternative news shows, podcasts, and of course episodes of the Midnight Cafe. I would also use it to pass along weather information during hurricane and storm season as I live on the Gulf coast. It would be the perfect addition to the (in progress) shack. Thank you.
I'm taking my amateur radio certification, here in my new community. We just had our power out for the last three days. There are several kids here that I could help learn some new things. I'm retired and always finding ways to help the kids
Straight up fun. To give the people an unregulated voice. To tell the real news without financial gain. Local American citizen to inform the public of real situations not explained or told by the media, in a friendly neighborhood dad approach.
Been a radio broadcasting enthusiast since I was a kid. Worked at a local FM station back in 1997 and currently operate an online station Power97. 97 represents the year 1997 when I began my radio journey. I live right outside of Dunedin FL and would love to help all the small businesses (restaurants and art shops, museums, churches and art vendors) advertise their ongoing events bi-weekly as I have direct contact with many of them. There is much to offer and advertise for this growing small town and would love to share my passion along with helping others in the community!
If I had that FM transmitter I would share this information on the air: There is no IRS Code requiring employees to pay "income taxes" from their pay wages. There is no United States law requiring employees to pay "income taxes" ! I have not been paying "income taxes" for over 2 years. There are only 4 easy steps. So many employees volunteer to pay "income taxes" because they are willfully ignorant and mentally lazy... therefore they will remain slaves. Filling out a IRS W-4 Form for Tax Exempt status is not illegal and is not entrapment. People employees here in the USA are allowed to legally choose the 'EXEMPT' option on their IRS W-4 Form. Here is the proper and honest way to not volunteer to pay "income taxes" as an employee. The first step is to go to your boss or manager and ask for another IRS W-4 Form paper. Print your name, address and Social Security number at the top part of the W-4 From then ignore everything else on W-4 Form and do NOT write anything on it until you get near the bottom of the IRS W-4 Form. Near the bottom of W-4 Form at STEP 4, write the word EXEMPT below the (c) Extra withholding line. Then at STEP 5 of the W-4 Form write the words All Rights Reserved on the signature line and enter the month, date and year. Make sure you DO NOT sign your name ! Give your boss or manager your new updated IRS W-4 Form. Go to your office supply store to have them make you a rubber ink stamp that says the words, Lawful money demanded as per 12 USC sub section 411. Then below this have the words, By ___________________________ Authorized Agent Before you cash or deposit your paychecks ink stamp the back of your paychecks then sign your name on the signature line of the ink stamped paycheck. You will never need to fill out a IRS 1040 Form each year. There is no need to because you are now TAX EXEMPT.
I would love to get the local community and youth in our very small town interested in this type of technology. In addition I pastor a small church which is mostly older folks. This would be an excellent method of including those who can’t drive anymore and hopefully it may interest some of the younger folks in our services . In addition to this, it would be an excellent way to communicate to folks to turn on other emergency comms in that type of scenario (GMRS, MURS relay, CB, etc. considering ham now as well).
I live in the boonies of NC and intend to help keep neighbors in touch and organized if/when there's an emergency. I've always fantasized about having a radio station or being a DJ, and would love being able to do just that! They'll be hearing it all!
FM Radio is cool -- I have a large ham radio drive-up style exam session that we run every week. Having a radio to keep everyone on the same page is a very, very useful. We also could plan to use this within our community when we need to communicate within our 30 home area.
It'd be late (I totally suck at timelines anyway), but I'd love to give this to my friend, motorcycle buddy, and Pastor for a belated Pastor appreciation month gift. Which is actually in October, but again I suck at timelines. His dream is to make our small (70ish person) congregation everyone's congregation. Truly a good guy if anyone can be measured as good. That's coming from a FORMERLY ordained FORMERLY pagan sage. If he can help save a wretch like me, being able to broadcast on the local "free" airwave might help others. If I can play the intermediary role of entering a comment in his behalf I'd be quite glad.
I currently live on an native american reservation. I would love to share with the people my love of radio by playing the classic radio shows from the golden age of radio plus some late night conspiracy shows. It would be great to use as an emergency broadcast station in the event of a national emergency.
I am still a learner but I’m trying to set a simple home base up. I’m figuring it all out with what I have “just a couple old mobile units”. Where I live we get snowed in at least once a year. I’m trying to have a reliable source to keep tabs on family a couple miles over just to make sure there’s no emergencies while waiting for the road to clear. There’s only one man of the house over there and sometimes that isn’t enough. Also I find radios are just fun as a hobby now.
I have 2 things in mind, 1 for our church during this weird pandemic we can have parking lot services and broadcast the service on the radio. 2. During a power outage I’d like to broadcast to my community, things that they can do for temporary power and heat etc., and things that they should do to prepare for the next one.
I live in a 55+ community and I think that it would be great to set up a radio station for the residence!! This would cover our community well. Besides....I'm a fellow VW Bus owner and CB Radio user (710 WNC)!
I want to set it up for those of us that can benefit in our local community since we are tight knit about crime and helping our neighbors here is South Wichita. Hope we get lucky we could use it.
This would be fantastic for me! I want to start a local emergency information station to keep all my neighbors updated and aware of very local news (prepper community)
on December 7th 1977 my father gave me a Lafayette CB Radio. I still have it and use it. I now like in NYC in an apt on the 22nd floor. I would love to start a community talk radio station here in midtown Manhattan.
Hi, Farpoint Farms I am Ruffy Santos, I want the Retekess TR509 because in my area specifically in Naga City here in the Philippines is full of News and Public affairs in the FM band and I want to put on air full time Music station only without any annoying News reports all day long, I miss the sounds of a true FM station in the past years. Hoping I won the Retekess TR509, More Power to Farpoint Farms.
I would set it up to simulcast Noah all hazards radio whenever the alert town went off for my area for emergencies. Regular programming would include radio oriented pdd casts Like yours and Amateur Radio Newsline™, I ARRL Audio News, TWRAR this week and Amateur-Radio etc. Other programming would include rebroadcast of local sports events that I can do with permission. Also I would do a very eclectic mix of regional artists, seasonal music, and see if any others would be interested in running program segments. I already have a IT guy that would set up my programming and broadcast algorithms on a PC.
That looks awesome. Would be great to have for emergency use in a SHTF situation. But I keep thinking of it like Mr. Microphone for adults! And I promise to never use it to say..." Hey good looking, we'll be back to pick you up later"
Looks like a lot of fun!! We live just outside of the sleepy village of Lanark Ontario, Canada. Lanark County is also known as the maple capital of Ontario, so maple syrup is a main staple on many people’s breakfast plate in the springtime, whether it be a tourist or a local getting their annual sugar indulgence from Mother Earth. It is a community of retirees, anglers, and a few hard working people lol. A friend and I have already set up a local community of cb buddies who get on the airwaves every evening to share the day’s events. My friend is an antenna enthusiast and has built antennas for all kinds of frequencies. We really have a lot of fun and it is contagious. If we end up with a country radio station, I would love to keep in touch with you to let you know how this rig works. Once we set it up with a proper base antenna, we will be off to the races! We own a small family metal fabrication shop providing commercial bike racks for the local communities that surround us, including the neighbouring city of ottawa and beyond. Ok, now I am rambling on lol. My cb handle is Sparky for obvious reasons. Hoping your back has healed up nicely and you and your family spend your days full of laughter, happiness and wonderful memories. Sparky over and out!
I am not in the running for this, as the last one he gave away I won. I have thoroughly enjoyed using mine and will confirm that this is a quality piece of equipment.
Big into GMRS, CB and Shortwave. I live in the Hudson Valley NY and always need an alternate way of communicating and receiving information. My 3 boys are starting to get into all the different areas of radio and communication. This would be great for me to teach them. Love your content.
Since I moved from Brazil and found my place here in Tenessee I've been looking for a way to serve people here and return all the kindness my family and I received. I'd love to use this station for that!
I've always loved all types of radio I have never had a part 15 radio I would use it in my town to play music and scanner reports and update weather I have gers and cb working on my ham lic and I have always wanted to be that person on radio my mom almost named me Wolfgang I think that's y I enjoy radio ok good luck to everyone who comments Eric you and Jen have a great day always enjoy your videos your brother from another mother D-man
This would be a lot of fun to have and experiment with, it’s on my bucket list run a radio broadcast and be on the air playing my favorite hits. With this I’d be just like Dale Gribble broadcasting to the greater tri-home area lol If I did become the lucky recipient I would not be broadcasting on 103.1 as that is the home of my favorite AOR station on the FM dial.
Thanks to you I got a cb going again and from my pickup I’ve been having a ton of fun listening and talking with skip! I can see where a radio like this would be cool and fun as well and would use to play some good music as we don’t have many stations playing where we live. We’ve also been digitizing boxes full of reel to reels our grandparents left here in the house when we moved in of a radio program/ministry they had several decades ago. Be cool to put them on the air again.
It can be connected to audio mixer output for live music and use mobile phone FM as audio monitor. Will help musicians to practice without disturbing the neighbours.
I suppose if I were the big winner I'd have to come up with a good idea. Living near the county line between two West Virginia towns, there are some deficiencies in receiving local information. I'm not a real content guy myself but I'd try to find some obscure content of local interest. I recently had to put out an external antenna just to pick up my local NOAA station. Whatever I did, I'd probably wire in the output for the weather radio so that when the alert goes off, it would go out on the FM.
I would like to have "whole house" coverage for my satellite radio receiver. It has its own fm transmitter but rarely reaches more than one room away before I lose the signal. I would like to be able to hear the signal from the satellite radio receiver anywhere in my house, especially on the patio when I'm out enjoying the weather or in the garage. This seems like it would be the perfect product to solve my issue.
I know this message isn't about your product, but maybe you can help me out. I've had an old President HR 2510 mobile radio and would like to use it. I have a Avanti170 Sigma 5/8 antenna that I refurbished this year. My only problem is that the antenna is for CB 11 meter, and the radio is for 10 meter. What do I need to do to make them work together??
My church could benefit from a low power fm transmitter. People can listen in their vehicles and not be inside the church because of the covid pandemic..
Hi I am local in South Florida in a western horse community and would love to assist our neighbors, with lost and found dogs, and other animals. Plus, assist with information about storms coming and goings
Ah, brings back memories of Radio Free Berkeley and how they blew the minds and wallets (in court)of the FCC, with their Part 15 rule breaking FM Transmitter kits !! Still 29 years later and selling more powerful 40 watt, and up rigs !!!! Good luck to all, and 73's thanks for the video. ps not meant to be a plug, just a bit of Part 15 history.
I guess I don't understand this? You input music from another device, it then puts it back out via fm radio? Is that correct? Is there more to this idea?
am in eastern ky where we did have a huge flash flood where many people did loose their homes and belongings. could use that to try to help get them the info they do need at this time.
Question: the FCC says you gotta pay them 4K for a license ....just for starters. How can my local rock station have a 55,000 watt station and NOT interfere with air traffic control etc etc?
1st of all I'd like to say I am new to your channel And I enjoy watching your videos. I would like to be chosen to receive the FM radio transmitter In order to set up a local Station, And by local I mean my immediate area Mostly for public service such as weatherAnd local needs and wants. Sorry about my grammar I just had my right shoulder worked onSo I'm Working left handed thank you very much for your content I'm enjoying it learning a lot
Hey, I would like to say I have a more benevolent reason to enter the giveaway like many of the other comments, but I simply just love toying with studio equipment.
There is no radio stations here on the coast that plays real music thats inspiring.. like good jazz or even some fun facts over the air.. There is none. I have played with am radio but never got into fm.. I have been in professional am and fm radio,, Always wanted a station.. So many are drying up.. from the other big guns swallowing up every little mom and pop out there... I could give something like this a real spin,! As being close to the ocean.. It would travel over the water... I could even give reports on fish and water.. or even tide heights or oldies on the beach day! That would be cool too. Love your stiff!
I live in a valley that has weak radio signal. My idea would be to keep it going to show my kids black echo radio broadcasting effectively broadcasting podcasts to the valley
I'd like to put mine own name in the hat to enter in the contest. I already have a 1/2 watt transmitter at mine apartment through which I air good programming to a solid 1/2 mile in all directions. However, I would like to upgrade to serve my neighbourhood further and better. If I do win, I can give my old one to my church so that they can air our services, and air the movie nights they want.
Im dreaming to have an FM radio station here in our community particular here in Philippines ..I hope I'm the lucky one to have that FM transmitter. Thanks
I want to improve my current radio station which operates off a cheap Chinese transmitter because it bleeds into other frequencies. I also want to get better coverage and my goal is to reach both retirement homes nearby, since the format is oldies.
Oh wow that is cool. If i had that I would definately rebroadcast Coast to Coast AM, Infowars, and some classica of Art Bells Somewhere in time. But on a Saturday night broadcast the live show of KNNZ one of the ultimate fm Pirates of radio who is now legal. BTW after you did give the President Bill away, I didn't win but I went an bought one excellent radio. and if you didn't know there is a secret menu option in it. I did a video and posted it on my channel if your curious to watch it go ahead.
I totally missed this video,I've been wanting to transmit my wonderful library of over 3,000 songs on my phone everything from the 60's to some of today's hits,can I get one ? 😅
Good morning, I am would love to have this personal radio station to my community informed and educated. This will allow persons living with disabilities to have our own radio programs and activities as well as in time of dessaster. My name is Ammarilla Henry . Thanks in advance.
Because i want to report the other side of the news that happens in our area that the news outlets doesn't want to let us know. There's still alot of people that still listen to FM radio here and i want to make a difference and not get caught by the FCC
My name is Wyatt I’m 20. I live on the coast of Florida in Wakulla county I’m pretty new to CB world if it wasn’t for you I’d be lost to be honest I’ve got myself a striker 655 paired up with an antron 99 loving the hobby so far If I got that FM broadcaster I’d probably keep the locals in formed when a big Ole storm rolls in!
I will make a local bluegrass station. We have a lot of bluegrass fans in this county and every local music barn has shut down and there are no local fm stations playing bluegrass around here. I play bluegrass myself (banjo and guitar) I have a rohn tower I can mount the antenna on as well. I've always wanted one of these and may buy one like this in the video if I don't win.

I wanna do a late night little radio.station with my daughters. Would be a fantastic experience and memory for all if us.
That would be a great family thing. I am sure that would be a lifetime of memories.
In around 1969 a friend of mine had a little radio station I helped him with. Equipment was alot bigger and harder to set up. That looks awesome!
Just because it's cool, love the information and your love of the radio
I think it's very cool of you to do this. Many thanks!

Filling out a IRS W-4 Form for Tax Exempt status is not illegal and is not entrapment. People employees here in the USA are allowed to legally choose the 'EXEMPT' option on their IRS W-4 Form.
Here is the proper and honest way to not volunteer to pay "income taxes" as an employee. The first step is to go to your boss or manager and ask for another IRS W-4 Form paper.
Print your name, address and Social Security number at the top part of the W-4 From then ignore everything else on W-4 Form and do NOT write anything on it until you get near the bottom of the IRS W-4 Form.
Near the bottom of W-4 Form at STEP 4, write the word EXEMPT below the (c) Extra withholding line.
Then at STEP 5 of the W-4 Form write the words All Rights Reserved on the signature line and enter the month, date and year. Make sure you DO NOT sign your name !
Give your boss or manager your new updated IRS W-4 Form.
Go to your office supply store to have them make you a rubber ink stamp that says the words, Lawful money demanded as per 12 USC sub section 411. Then below this have the words, By ___________________________
Authorized Agent
Before you cash or deposit your paychecks ink stamp the back of your paychecks then sign your name on the signature line of the ink stamped paycheck.
You will never need to fill out a IRS 1040 Form each year. There is no need to because you are now TAX EXEMPT.
I would love to get the local community and youth in our very small town interested in this type of technology. In addition I pastor a small church which is mostly older folks. This would be an excellent method of including those who can’t drive anymore and hopefully it may interest some of the younger folks in our services . In addition to this, it would be an excellent way to communicate to folks to turn on other emergency comms in that type of scenario (GMRS, MURS relay, CB, etc. considering ham now as well).
I live in the boonies of NC and intend to help keep neighbors in touch and organized if/when there's an emergency. I've always fantasized about having a radio station or being a DJ, and would love being able to do just that! They'll be hearing it all!
@@Jerry-Parker Hey there!
FM Radio is cool -- I have a large ham radio drive-up style exam session that we run every week. Having a radio to keep everyone on the same page is a very, very useful. We also could plan to use this within our community when we need to communicate within our 30 home area.

It'd be late (I totally suck at timelines anyway), but I'd love to give this to my friend, motorcycle buddy, and Pastor for a belated Pastor appreciation month gift. Which is actually in October, but again I suck at timelines.
His dream is to make our small (70ish person) congregation everyone's congregation. Truly a good guy if anyone can be measured as good. That's coming from a FORMERLY ordained FORMERLY pagan sage. If he can help save a wretch like me, being able to broadcast on the local "free" airwave might help others. If I can play the intermediary role of entering a comment in his behalf I'd be quite glad.
I currently live on an native american reservation. I would love to share with the people my love of radio by playing the classic radio shows from the golden age of radio plus some late night conspiracy shows. It would be great to use as an emergency broadcast station in the event of a national emergency.
I am still a learner but I’m trying to set a simple home base up. I’m figuring it all out with what I have “just a couple old mobile units”. Where I live we get snowed in at least once a year. I’m trying to have a reliable source to keep tabs on family a couple miles over just to make sure there’s no emergencies while waiting for the road to clear. There’s only one man of the house over there and sometimes that isn’t enough. Also I find radios are just fun as a hobby now.
I have 2 things in mind, 1 for our church during this weird pandemic we can have parking lot services and broadcast the service on the radio. 2. During a power outage I’d like to broadcast to my community, things that they can do for temporary power and heat etc., and things that they should do to prepare for the next one.
I'm voting for sharpshooterofky.. the flood in KY was epic.. be nice to help the people come together for the future
I love it! If by the grace of God, ang I'll win that FM transmitter. I will be using for Evangelism since I am an SDA district pastor.
Happy Sabbath Brother. I hope you win.
@@Knife_Collector wow! Thanks brother. Its sunday night here in the Philippines. 8:30 pm.
I live in a 55+ community and I think that it would be great to set up a radio station for the residence!! This would cover our community well. Besides....I'm a fellow VW Bus owner and CB Radio user (710 WNC)!
I want to set it up for those of us that can benefit in our local community since we are tight knit about crime and helping our neighbors here is South Wichita. Hope we get lucky we could use it.
I'm currently living in a small town in Wyoming, this radio would be amazing to bring the town together in a SHTF! Scenario

This would be fantastic for me! I want to start a local emergency information station to keep all my neighbors updated and aware of very local news (prepper community)
on December 7th 1977 my father gave me a Lafayette CB Radio. I still have it and use it. I now like in NYC in an apt on the 22nd floor. I would love to start a community talk radio station here in midtown Manhattan.
Hi, Farpoint Farms I am Ruffy Santos, I want the Retekess TR509 because in my area specifically in Naga City here in the Philippines is full of News and Public affairs in the FM band and I want to put on air full time Music station only without any annoying News reports all day long, I miss the sounds of a true FM station in the past years. Hoping I won the Retekess TR509, More Power to Farpoint Farms.
I would set it up to simulcast Noah all hazards radio whenever the alert town went off for my area for emergencies. Regular programming would include radio oriented pdd casts Like yours and Amateur Radio Newsline™, I ARRL Audio News, TWRAR this week and Amateur-Radio etc. Other programming would include rebroadcast of local sports events that I can do with permission. Also I would do a very eclectic mix of regional artists, seasonal music, and see if any others would be interested in running program segments. I already have a IT guy that would set up my programming and broadcast algorithms on a PC.
Cool give away. Would be nice if a school got it! (I’m not personally interested) Thumbs up 👍
That looks awesome. Would be great to have for emergency use in a SHTF situation. But I keep thinking of it like Mr. Microphone for adults! And I promise to never use it to say..." Hey good looking, we'll be back to pick you up later"
Looks like a lot of fun!! We live just outside of the sleepy village of Lanark Ontario, Canada. Lanark County is also known as the maple capital of Ontario, so maple syrup is a main staple on many people’s breakfast plate in the springtime, whether it be a tourist or a local getting their annual sugar indulgence from Mother Earth. It is a community of retirees, anglers, and a few hard working people lol. A friend and I have already set up a local community of cb buddies who get on the airwaves every evening to share the day’s events. My friend is an antenna enthusiast and has built antennas for all kinds of frequencies. We really have a lot of fun and it is contagious. If we end up with a country radio station, I would love to keep in touch with you to let you know how this rig works. Once we set it up with a proper base antenna, we will be off to the races! We own a small family metal fabrication shop providing commercial bike racks for the local communities that surround us, including the neighbouring city of ottawa and beyond. Ok, now I am rambling on lol. My cb handle is Sparky for obvious reasons. Hoping your back has healed up nicely and you and your family spend your days full of laughter, happiness and wonderful memories. Sparky over and out!
I am not in the running for this, as the last one he gave away I won. I have thoroughly enjoyed using mine and will confirm that this is a quality piece of equipment.
Thanks for sharing! I love to hear the long term reviews. Take care
That looks pretty cool, I wonder if one could setup a neighborhood police scanner channel
For anyone who wanted to listen.
I was curious to see what frequency it broadcasts on. If I had one it would encourage me to play and record my piano playing and share it with others.
Big into GMRS, CB and Shortwave. I live in the Hudson Valley NY and always need an alternate way of communicating and receiving information. My 3 boys are starting to get into all the different areas of radio and communication. This would be great for me to teach them. Love your content.
Did you have any relatives from Port Chester, NY? I had some Vaccaros living across the street from me in the 70s-80s.
@@JoeR203 none that I'm aware of, I'm originally from NJ.
How many miles out will one of these transmitters be able to broadcast?
I could have my own radio station doing my famous Wolfman Jack imitations...Cheerz!
Since I moved from Brazil and found my place here in Tenessee I've been looking for a way to serve people here and return all the kindness my family and I received. I'd love to use this station for that!
Awesome video. Hope someone makes good use of it.
Does this transmitter have an so-239 connector on the back?
no, but I bought an adaptor for mine.
I remember my friend made a small one from a Radio Shack kit back in the early 90’s
My neighborhood needs a progressive talk station and one that plays music you won't hear anywhere else.
Hello I live in a small community . There has been a rise in crime due to lack of police . I would communicate with my neighbors to stay safe.
I've always loved all types of radio I have never had a part 15 radio I would use it in my town to play music and scanner reports and update weather I have gers and cb working on my ham lic and I have always wanted to be that person on radio my mom almost named me Wolfgang I think that's y I enjoy radio ok good luck to everyone who comments Eric you and Jen have a great day always enjoy your videos your brother from another mother D-man
This would be a lot of fun to have and experiment with, it’s on my bucket list run a radio broadcast and be on the air playing my favorite hits. With this I’d be just like Dale Gribble broadcasting to the greater tri-home area lol
If I did become the lucky recipient I would not be broadcasting on 103.1 as that is the home of my favorite AOR station on the FM dial.
Thanks to you I got a cb going again and from my pickup I’ve been having a ton of fun listening and talking with skip! I can see where a radio like this would be cool and fun as well and would use to play some good music as we don’t have many stations playing where we live. We’ve also been digitizing boxes full of reel to reels our grandparents left here in the house when we moved in of a radio program/ministry they had several decades ago. Be cool to put them on the air again.
It can be connected to audio mixer output for live music and use mobile phone FM as audio monitor. Will help musicians to practice without disturbing the neighbours.
thanks for the information on that- good to know
That’s pretty cool, I would like to get one and transmit on the FM channel
🎁 i like it very much. i am 75 yo and have no transmitter at all because i cannot afford one. Just like to win to start the hobby. 😉
could use this for when its time to alert my Prepping friends , they live close so it should do the trick
I suppose if I were the big winner I'd have to come up with a good idea. Living near the county line between two West Virginia towns, there are some deficiencies in receiving local information. I'm not a real content guy myself but I'd try to find some obscure content of local interest.
I recently had to put out an external antenna just to pick up my local NOAA station. Whatever I did, I'd probably wire in the output for the weather radio so that when the alert goes off, it would go out on the FM.
I would share my huge music collection with near-by friends
I would like to have "whole house" coverage for my satellite radio receiver. It has its own fm transmitter but rarely reaches more than one room away before I lose the signal. I would like to be able to hear the signal from the satellite radio receiver anywhere in my house, especially on the patio when I'm out enjoying the weather or in the garage. This seems like it would be the perfect product to solve my issue.
I know this message isn't about your product, but maybe you can help me out. I've had an old President HR 2510 mobile radio and would like to use it. I have a Avanti170 Sigma 5/8 antenna that I refurbished this year. My only problem is that the antenna is for CB 11 meter, and the radio is for 10 meter. What do I need to do to make them work together??
My church could benefit from a low power fm transmitter. People can listen in their vehicles and not be inside the church because of the covid pandemic..
Hi
I am local in South Florida in a western horse community and would love to assist our neighbors, with lost and found dogs, and other animals. Plus, assist with information about storms coming and goings
Ah, brings back memories of Radio Free Berkeley and how they blew the minds and wallets (in court)of the FCC, with their Part 15 rule breaking FM Transmitter kits !! Still 29 years later and selling more powerful 40 watt, and up rigs !!!! Good luck to all, and 73's thanks for the video. ps not meant to be a plug, just a bit of Part 15 history.
I guess I don't understand this? You input music from another device, it then puts it back out via fm radio? Is that correct? Is there more to this idea?
You have some form of music player, like an MP3 player or laptop, and plug it into the transmitter and it transmits on the frequency you set it to.
@@JonathanMcKey oh thats kinda cool.. grandkids might like that..
i am disabled and need something to do think it would keep me busy cause their is only 1 or 2 stations i can get hear .
I would love to harrass my neighbors😂🤣😅it would make me so happy.
am in eastern ky where we did have a huge flash flood where many people did loose their homes and belongings. could use that to try to help get them the info they do need at this time.
I just think to be honest it would be cool to have .. thanks
Question: the FCC says you gotta pay them 4K for a license ....just for starters. How can my local rock station have a 55,000 watt station and NOT interfere with air traffic control etc etc?
1st of all I'd like to say I am new to your channel And I enjoy watching your videos. I would like to be chosen to receive the FM radio transmitter In order to set up a local Station, And by local I mean my immediate area Mostly for public service such as weatherAnd local needs and wants. Sorry about my grammar I just had my right shoulder worked onSo I'm Working left handed thank you very much for your content I'm enjoying it learning a lot
Welcome aboard!
This is identical to the Signstek model correct?
Hey, I would like to say I have a more benevolent reason to enter the giveaway like many of the other comments, but I simply just love toying with studio equipment.
There is no radio stations here on the coast that plays real music thats inspiring.. like good jazz or even some fun facts over the air.. There is none. I have played with am radio but never got into fm.. I have been in professional am and fm radio,, Always wanted a station.. So many are drying up.. from the other big guns swallowing up every little mom and pop out there...
I could give something like this a real spin,! As being close to the ocean.. It would travel over the water... I could even give reports on fish and water.. or even tide heights or oldies on the beach day! That would be cool too.
Love your stiff!
I live in a valley that has weak radio signal. My idea would be to keep it going to show my kids black echo radio broadcasting effectively broadcasting podcasts to the valley
I'd like to put mine own name in the hat to enter in the contest. I already have a 1/2 watt transmitter at mine apartment through which I air good programming to a solid 1/2 mile in all directions. However, I would like to upgrade to serve my neighbourhood further and better. If I do win, I can give my old one to my church so that they can air our services, and air the movie nights they want.
That’s cool I have 4 boys 6-16 and it would be cool to teach them about working a cb
Im dreaming to have an FM radio station here in our community particular here in Philippines ..I hope I'm the lucky one to have that FM transmitter. Thanks
These are great radio stations!
I want to improve my current radio station which operates off a cheap Chinese transmitter because it bleeds into other frequencies. I also want to get better coverage and my goal is to reach both retirement homes nearby, since the format is oldies.
Oh wow that is cool. If i had that I would definately rebroadcast Coast to Coast AM, Infowars, and some classica of Art Bells Somewhere in time. But on a Saturday night broadcast the live show of KNNZ one of the ultimate fm Pirates of radio who is now legal. BTW after you did give the President Bill away, I didn't win but I went an bought one excellent radio. and if you didn't know there is a secret menu option in it. I did a video and posted it on my channel if your curious to watch it go ahead.
I totally missed this video,I've been wanting to transmit my wonderful library of over 3,000 songs on my phone everything from the 60's to some of today's hits,can I get one ? 😅
Wish I had an extra one to give you-
Good morning, I am would love to have this personal radio station to my community informed and educated. This will allow persons living with disabilities to have our own radio programs and activities as well as in time of dessaster.
My name is Ammarilla Henry . Thanks in advance.
I will keep you in mind for the next one- this one already ended
Because i want to report the other side of the news that happens in our area that the news outlets doesn't want to let us know. There's still alot of people that still listen to FM radio here and i want to make a difference and not get caught by the FCC
My rural area will need a local station post economic collapse.
neat so easy to operate
My name is Wyatt I’m 20. I live on the coast of Florida in Wakulla county I’m pretty new to CB world if it wasn’t for you I’d be lost to be honest I’ve got myself a striker 655 paired up with an antron 99 loving the hobby so far If I got that FM broadcaster I’d probably keep the locals in formed when a big Ole storm rolls in!
as a resident of Florida I would us it for emergency information during hurricanes and forest fires.
I had a station here in remote Rico, Colorado for 8 years but lost the lease and had to close our town station.
I would re-broadcast the tip of the spear in the fight against the globalists.
I will make a local bluegrass station. We have a lot of bluegrass fans in this county and every local music barn has shut down and there are no local fm stations playing bluegrass around here. I play bluegrass myself (banjo and guitar) I have a rohn tower I can mount the antenna on as well. I've always wanted one of these and may buy one like this in the video if I don't win.
To cool for school
