We could not afford that radio when I was a kid. But when I was a kid, I wanted to be a dj, as well. I thought if people only heard the music I loved, they would love it as well.
Since we didn’t have the money, I got electronic books until I learned how to build a radio transmitter, and took apart old tvs and radios, etc, buying pieces I could not get anywhere else. I built my own transmitter.
For about 3 days, the moment I got home from school, I got on that transmitter, and played music from my old 45 record player with a built in speaker, whose speaker wiring I connected to the transmitter.
It lasted 3 days because I found out the extent of the transmission was about 50 feet...the same distance as modern day bluetooth. It discouraged me from being a dj, because my mom said it was a waste of time. But it taught me a skillset that got me into computer hardware technology, which lead me to building the first Daly Computers Pentium to be Novell Certified, which led to my job at the Pentagon, which led to me work in databases, which led me to where I am now.
