Raspberry PIrate Radio

(electronicsforu.com) Using a readymade disk image and one simple solder connection, turn your Raspberry Pi into a streaming pirate radio. NOTE: The Raspberry Pi's broadcast frequency can range between 1Mhz and 250Mhz, which may interfere with government bands. We advise that you limit your transmissions to the standard FM band of 87.5MHz--108.0MHz and always choose a frequency that's not already in use, to avoid interference with licensed broadcasters.
