I have a farm in mountains and there is no any communication. I would like to establishe a FM radio there. Two small station with 2KM radius. and two FM radio for receiving the waves. How can i build it? Any idea?
If you are just listening to music, it would be a lot easier to get a boom box. If you want 2-way communications, a CB can be gotten at Radio Shack.
If you want to establish a radio station, low power FM is the way to go. It costs about $250 k to set up the station and about $100 k per year to operate it.

You can get FM transmitters for under $200.
Any cheap radio will act as a receiver.

you need to purchase or build an Fm transmitter that can transmit within the radius specified… just do a search on radio transmitters on the net. plenty of info…almost too much . if your really feeling Froggy you could build your own . but remember , you also need to get a license from the FCC(federal communications commission ).
