Hello All,

I am thinking of opening my own radio station... not a web based station, an actuall radio station but i was wondering what equipment i need.

I mean what kind of broadcasting equipment, mixers, etc,...
whats the bare minimum to start up my own small station...

also do u have any links or like tutorials on stuff like that...

Thanks all...

Check with the CRTC, I'm sure they will tell you all about the legal aspect of starting your own station.
