Summer Radio Camps at Free Radio Berkeley
Free Radio Berkeley is pleased to announce the 2008 schedule of then
Summer Radio Camp program. In the fifth year of being offered, these
Summer Radio Camps offer a unique hands-on learning opportunity. With
less and less emphasis being placed on acquiring actual real world skills
at all levels of education, the Summer Radio Camp program provides individuals
with the opportunity to learn by doing. During the 4 day Radio Camp
participants build a 40 watt FM broadcast transmitter (and other related
items such as antennas) and learn how to set up a low power community
radio station capable of covering a broadcast radius up to 8 miles depending
on terrain and antenna height.
With an emphasis on direct, hands-on
learning, participants learn how to solder, identify electronic components,
assemble a 40 watt transmitter from a kit of parts, build and tune an
antenna, properly setup and test broadcast equipment and much more.
Further, participants are given an overview of basic electronics and
broadcast engineering.
A workshop fee of $200-$250 sliding scale
is charged. At the end of the radio camp session participants may purchase
the 40 watt transmitter for $350 - the cost of the kit, power supply
and enclosure. A complete package that includes a 5/8 Comet Antenna
and 75 feet of coaxial cables costs $525.
The Radio Summer Camps
have been attended by a diverse number of people from not only the US
but from a number of foreign countries as well. Open to anyone 16 years
and older, Summer Radio Camp sessions are held at Free Radio Berkeley's
shop in Oakland, CA. Further details on
