Admittedly, the word microbroadcasting is a misnomer here as the equipment list and suppliers are not all entirely Part 15 complaint. Some of the equipment will be capable of legal FCC Part 15 operation while others listed here more suitable for licensed LPFM operation. A redirect will be created.
Some equipment and suppliers are currently partially or fully omitted such as fmuser and suspicious cze Chinese made clones, and knockoffs until clarification on quality and authenticity is achieved, at least to some degree.
Do-it-yourself equipment kits are partially omitted with some exceptions, for example, Ramsey sold both DIY kits and assembled units so Ramsey is included. Do it yourself project kits will be listed on another page. Mediumwave AM broadcast kits and Shortwave equipment will be presented on another page. All microbroadcasting and LPFM pages are under the this category.

Antenna
An electromagnetic wave illuminates both an antenna and its feedline. Signal current induced on the outer surface of coaxial feedline may enter it at the antenna feedpoint. Common-mode signals induced on parallel transmission line may become differential at the receiver. Either makes the transmission line an unintended part of the antenna structure, which can degrade the directive pattern and forward gain. A current balun can attenuate unwanted coax shield current. A current or voltage balun can attenuate common-mode signals on parallel line. (consider using a Coiled-Coax Balun)
