Things to consider when starting out as a DJ:

- What type of DJ will you be - Mobile Disco DJ or Club/Bar DJ? If becoming a Mobile DJ you will need a larger cross section of music as you will be catering to the tastes of many mixed audiences. If becoming a Club/Bar DJ you may be able to focus on one specific form of music.

- Try out on a friends or community centres equipment first to see if you like it before you commit to any large expenditure.

- Equipment to consider:

- Record players (decks) or CD mixers. Technics 1200/1210 are the industry standard for record decks and Numark CDN 88’s for CD mixing are also good.

- A mixer

- Amplifiers and Speakers

- Head phones

- Microphone

Make sure your first gig goes smoothly by:

- Making a note of the equipment you will need on the night.
- Turning up early if you are using the venues equipment to make sure you know how to use it.

What are radio transmitters? How do they work? What do they look like? Well, this article will explain to you the many different faces of radio transmitters and how they work.

In this day and age when satellite radio is the big kid on the block, it is important to understand how it works. This article will supply you with the basic information about how digital signals work and therefore how satellite radio works.

Understanding how radio receivers work is important if you are an avid music fan. This article will explain to you how the Direction Coupler works and why it is so important in the receiver component of your system.

This is an article about Satellite Radio System, how they came about and what types are out there for you to choose from.

Methods of amplitude modulation can be put in the two categories namely Linear modulation methods and Square law modulation methods. Linear modulation method utilizes the linear region of the current voltage characteristics of the amplifying device that is transistor or electron tube. Square law modulation method utilizes the square law region of some current voltage characteristics of a diode or transistor or electron tube. A large number of linear modulation methods have been devised and have been used to varying degree. These methods are namely linear shunt plate modulation or anode choke modulation, linear series plate modulation, grid bias modulation, cathode modulation, suppressor grid modulation, screen grid modulation, collector modulation.

The process of detection or demodulation consists in recovering the original modulating voltage from the modulated carrier voltage. Thus detection is a process of reverse modulation. The modulation frequency terms which were translated to higher part of the frequency spectrum through the modulation process are translated back to their original positions in the frequency spectrum through the demodulation process.

She might be in her 70's, but Shirley Bassey wowed the 200,000 festival goers at this year's Glastonbury Festival, in Somerset, England - and to a wider audience live on BBC TV.
