Quadraphonic FM and Shortwave Radio Broadcasting, Papers, Books, Schematics, Wisdom needed

[Mustafa Umut Sarac]

Hello there,

This is my first post to the forums and I want to present my best,

I am retired man with lots of free time and I want to start broadcasting within the city and to the western europe in night time. I want to convert music nocturno stereo broadcast - european union classical music program 01.00 to 07.00- in to quadraphonic and rebroadcast in fm and shortwave.

Is there publications , books , papers , schematics , online projects ? Can you share your wisdom ?

Your listeners would have to have a surround decoder in order to hear the broadcast in quad, converting a stereo-only source to quad using a matrix decoder and then broadcasting the results would be essentially the same as the listener decoding the original stereo source directly. Are you going to modify the original stereo source mix in some way? Such as moving sounds to the rear channels deliberately or adding more ambiance?

Hi Mustafa,
the first things you MUST read are the broacasting regulations in your county and indeed internationally. There aren't many places where a private individual could to do what you would like to do legally.

Welcome to the forum. You might consider contacting @chucky3042 with a private message. He can advise you about a possible Involve encoding board that might do what you're thinking about. Maybe an internet show similar to a fellow here by the name of @Bill Brent also.

Here's a few of his posts...

But I would imagine there will be tons of legal matters for such an endevour as @Soundfield mentioned above.

Maybe I misunderstood, so you want to broadcast the rear channels on a separate shortwave station like simulcast? I suppose all you would need is a decoder in that case.

Apart from the broadcasting regulation issues, there's the tiny little problem of obtaining the rights to broadcast copyrighted material which you seem to be proposing. Good luck with that!

Hello there,

Thank you for your message. I want to convert stereo radio program in to left, middle , right and deep bass, I am thinking its the beginner to quadro concept. I am aware of BBC research to find best possible way to listen multiple sources , no need to teach people , they would be able to find sweet spots.

Radio concept changed, software defined radio is last invention and the DRM digital radio mondiale.

You can transmit 4 radio programs together and computer software decodes the signal.at DRM and SDR.

DRM is extremelly clean and reach to other continent with am and sw .

Hi J Pupster,

I have just looked to your links and found involve boards.Thank you very much. I will contact with them,

A simulcast is when the program is broadcasted on two or more radio/television stations at the same time, it was sometimes used to broadcast left and right channels before stereo FM became common. Quadraphonic sound was also simulcasted using two FM stereo stations on a few occasions, I think. I am still not understanding how you are intending the listener to hear the broadcast, through a radio receiver or a computer?

So you are interested in the technicalities but not the legalities?

Welcome to the forum, Mustafa! The first thing I recommend is to check your local laws regarding establishing a broadcast station in Turkey. It's not as easy as just building a station and putting it on the air. The government would have to assign you the frequencies you'd have to use, as well as how much power you can transmit with. As for the shortwave, many countries don't permit private shortwave stations, other than ham radio. Some research will definitely help you plan this out.

I said that. Not sure he was interested.
