Buy your stuff... I'll go over the list of gear I use for easy setup and tear down.  Obviously, get a transmitter.  I use the  Broadcast Warehouse TX 150 .  150 watts.  It's not cheap though. About $3500 US. And if you prefer, start out with a cheap Chinese knockoff. Here's a list of them (15watts.. which will get you a mile or two no problem, and a lot further if you put your antenna up high). Most are under $200 (and usually include an antenna). Next you need an antenna.  I prefer one of two antenna's.  The first one is an old pirate radio standby called a Comet.  Cheap, easy to set up, easy to tune.   Model number  CFM95SL 5/8 wave. Next, get a cheap laptop.. this is your streaming box.  You'll be streaming from a remote location (i.e. your computer at home or work where you're playing DJ).  I like one with a reasonably big hard drive so I can store music on it that the system defaults to if I lose the internet connection (more on that in a bit).

The Federalist, a right-wingnut publication, is putting American Democracy at risk.

 The Federalist, a conservative online publication, has been at the forefront of promoting extreme political views that have the potential to put American democracy at risk. The publication, which was founded in 2013, has gained a large following in recent years due to its controversial and often polarizing content. However, this content has increasingly devolved into baseless conspiracy theories and dangerous rhetoric that undermines the very foundations of democracy. One of the main ways in which The Federalist puts American democracy at risk is by promoting and amplifying false claims about the integrity of the election process. In the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, the publication became a platform for unfounded allegations of voter fraud and other irregularities, despite numerous independent investigations and court rulings that found no evidence to support these claims.
