Implementation

Accommodation

Where are we going to go?

Networking & Comms

Network connection, telephone lines

Transmission

FM Transmission

A transmitter usually helps

Processing

Software or hardware?

DAB?

You can get event slots on some DAB muxes, we'd need to hire space at the mux and get some sort of codec, and some sort of transmission method (IP or ISDN, maybe microwave link)

Really expensive, and not so easy to sell radios at the site to pick it up.

Online Streaming

We need a PC and a sound card (preferably a good one), as well as a server on a reletively fat pipe to serve the stream (both internal and external)

Outside Broadcasts

We might want to broadcast live from outside of the studio (and gain audience participation)

• UHF mic/belt pack tx + IEM? (depends on range required)
• Broadcast RF Tx/Rx?
