Here is the complete detail list from Prometheus radio on what we'll need for the radio station.

• At least two computers with good soundcards with good soundcards. $700-$800 to purchase each of these machines.

i think that estimate sounds reasonable. we spent about that on the two studio machines for kpcn-lp in woodburn. i would say go for these fancy sound cards:

• http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Delta44-main.html
• http://www.zzounds.com/item--THKMIMD442-a

1. to handle the automation for the station
2. For radio producers to edit audio
3. For link between the studio and the transmitter since we'll be setting the studio first in the city and later to Maseno or some new location were it will be permanent. (comment from Hannah: you might also need another setup to handle a link between the studio and the transmitter, depending on whether or not the antenna can be mounted to the same building that can hold the studio, in both nairobi and at maseno university. )

• Two exciters (so we can run workshops on how to build an exciter.
• Transmitters
