Here is a special tour inside the KDEY radio studio

 

 

                   

Our Library of tunes and radio shows are stored on the two  external hard drives on top of the CPU.

The computer itself is a cobbled up amalgam of Dell pieces parts.  It’s mostly a Dell 2400 with a whole lot of RAM wedged into it. Along with an upgraded Soundblaster audio card and an upgraded DVD/CD burner.  We use Zararadio automation software to run the station with.  The microphone is an EV Cobalt CO5 and the mic boom is the old desktop boom lamp converted to a mic boom trick – with one exception.  I actually ran the mic cable through the metallic parts of the lamp, thereby integrating the cable into the structure of the lamp.  It took some doing! But it gives it a real nice clean look doesn’t it?  How do u like the old Pioneer Reel to Reel tape reel converted to a clock?  The hands are painted in Black Light paint, so they really stand out!

Next, the whole kaboodle goes into a small 6 channel Behringer Eurorack mixer.  The output from the mixer runs through an 1/8th inch stereo jack cable up through the ceiling to the first floor – through to the second floor, where it goes into the EDM LCD FM transmitter running at 10 milliwatts.

Fantastic xmitter! Can’t say enough about these babies!  I had a Ramsey 25B for three years, loved it.  Then read a review from Radio Brandy.  Bought the EDM. Ran it one day.  Put my Ramsey on Ebay the next day.  There’s no comparison.

Lastly, from the EDM a 50 ohm cable runs to my HLLY ‘portable’ ground plane antenna.  Which is installed in the attic of my two story house, effectively getting it about 23 feet off the ground.  I also live at the very apex of a hill so who needs a tower?  My house IS the tower.  That explains my terrific range with this wonderful little xmitter.
