workshop in pirate radio and transmitter assembly

workshop

after discussions about the public sphere, regulation of the airwaves, and media monopolies, our workshop lasted half a day: by its end we had built four transmitters, daisychained them and we were going on the air. the workshop itself was also broadcast using neuroTransmitter’s more powerful transistor backpak. notice Wayne’s beutiful drawings of transistors, resistors and capacitors in the background….
