This is Radio Brian's little RF amplifier Rack. 
You cannot view this attachment.
It's fed from the Computer room one floor below by an MPX audio signal.

The MPX signal goes into a 1W exciter which generates the frequency and the stereo signal,
that goes into a 15W variable power booster amp,

which in turn feeds the 150W linear amplifier

That feeds a Dominator antenna on the roof which has a 6dB gain
so the ERP (effective radiated power) is = 300W

The RF rack is +/- 50% efficient, it consumes a continuous 305W.
It's on 16.4hrs a day so 305W x 16hrs = 5kwh per day 

Having a little radio station for a hobby is not cheap

Having a little radio station for a hobby is not cheap 

Do you have advertisers on the station to get some income BB?

Do you have advertisers on the station to get some income BB?

No mate, adverts would mean too many problems... 
Sales people need contracts and a basic wage.
Register Brian as a business with the local authorities.
Declare income, get a Spanish accountant, pay TAX.

I would get denuncias from all directions (Legal complaints).
As it is it's just a Hobby so nobody can complain about anything...
Well... apart from not playing enough Barry White songs
