Make Your Own Pocket Transmitter

A workshop led by Neighborhood Public Radio

Make Your Own Pocket Transmitter

Using the simple designs of Tetsuo Kogawa, Japanese engineer famous for "party radio" and "polymorphous radio," Neighborhood Public Radio will spread the gospel of micro-transmission in a 3-hour build your own pocket micro-transmitter workshop. Bring your soldering iron (if you have one) and an Altoids tin... and Neighborhood Public Radio will provide the rest. (Several soldering irons will be provided for those that need them.) Learn how to use parts that you can find in most electronics stores to create your own low wattage transmitter. These transmitters operate using a 9 volt battery and can be carried around in your pocket. Bring your mp3 player and leave as a walking radio station.
