Want To Buy: Equipment for High School Campus Radio Station

Want To Buy: Equipment for High School Campus Radio Station

Looking to complete the final build of our school district’s campus-limited AM and FM student radio station and looking for equipment. Ideally seeking AM and/or FM modulation monitors, audio processing as well as CD or other studio equipment that would allow students to have a realistic learning environment. Your donation of used but serviceable equipment can be rewarded with a letter for tax purposes as this is a municipal school district. Reimbursement for shipping or pickup within a reasonable distance of Fairfield County, Connecticut. Thanks to the engineers who have already assisted and a thanks in advance to those willing to help in training the future broadcasters of tomorrow.

Contact: Bill DeFelice 203-854-4104 bill@norwalkps.org

Note: Bill was kind enough to answer CBI’s request for more information and supplied the following paragraph for those that are interested: “After some years we’ve finally begun to make progress with building up on on-campus radio station for our district’s high school. While a two studio suite was included as part of a building renovation which took place four years ago it wasn’t until recently that student interest made it possible to encourage the upper-level administration to complete this project. Like many things in the public education arena, the funding this project has received hasn’t allowed me to make much headway with building the station. Some local radio groups and engineers have been kind enough to offer their older legacy equipment to us. On some occasions the gear required substantial repairs of which unavailable components made these pieces unsuitable for our needs. Being a freelance broadcast engineer I myself have donated various pieces of equipment as well as studio furniture. We were fortunate to have received a couple of donated 70′s vintage Gates consoles that will serve as the on-air and production consoles. At the moment I’m seeking suitable audio processing for our campus-limited AM and FM transmitters and, ideally, AM and FM modulation monitoring equipment to augment teaching our students in an environment more like actual broadcast stations. For this first year, the campus station and companion webstream will be operating as a club while the curriculum is being developed to integrate the station into teaching classes in journalism and electronic media. The station will also allow student to study other broadcast- related subjects such as audio production, announcing, copy writing and sportscasting presentation. While I was lucky enough to become involved in my hometown’s 330 watt high school radio station at the age of 14 it is my hope to pay it forward and mentor students in the way I had been back in the 70′s – something that not only allowed me to learn about the broadcast industry, but allowed me the opportunity to become employed at several broadcast groups during my lifetime. Any assistance that will allow these students to learn and grow is greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Bill DeFelice, Norwalk Connecticut Public Schools”
