CampusBroadcaster.net joins HobbyBroadcaster.net

[Bill DeFelice]

I am happy to announce that HobbyBroadcaster.net is now joined by CampusBroadcaster.net.

CampusBroadcaster.net will primarily focus on low power license-free Part 15 broadcasting as utilized in K-12 academic institutions as welL as for college and university campus radio. While the main HobbyBroadcaster.net site will serve as the basis for most reference and resource materials, CampusBroadcaster.net will add additional focus for those wishing to start and/or maintain their on-campus broadcast operations regardless if they use carrier current, leaky coaxial cable or free radiating transmission methods.

The site may be access by either going to CampusBroadcaster.net or HobbyBroadcaster.net

  I suggest those interested in part 15 FM broadcasting, check out Bill's revenue of C.Crane's FM transmitter. It's perfect for the broadcaster trapped in a dorm or apartment complex with no place to install an antenna.

It's perfect for those on a tight budget wishing to have a F.C.C. certified transmitter that will cover a couple of hundred feet with ease. Keep in mind, 500ft in one direction is 1000ft of useful coverage area. 1000 feet covers a good size apartment complex or a building or two full of dorms. You could cover the average Motel 6 with ease, or a good size condo community.

The unit compared to Ramsey, is in a class by itself, for about half the price! The only minor draw back to the C.Crane is it does not cover 88.1 or 107.9, outside of the two channels being trimmed off, I don't know why someone would blow nearly twice as much for a Ramsey kit with inferior sound and RF performance.

I know of one educator who is experimenting with the C. Crane unit as a possible way to feed several small campus housing buildings with their on-campus stations. It's pretty affordable as the performance was much better than I anticipated.
