Behold the glory of a lunch pail made into a low power FM station:

Community radio 94.5 FM

    Yes, please - I’d love some building instructions as well. I have a vintage Allaire User Conference lunchbox just aching to be modded…

    Hmm, how about posting a DIY build as well? I know you’d like to make a little money out of it, but I’m sure it would be appreciated. Once people see how hard it is to make, I bet they’ll buy it from you anyway!
