When Peter Hunn was struck by the idea of creating his own radio, he assumed there would be books to tell him how to go about it. As anyone in broadcasting will tell you, radio technology sometimes seems like the closely guarded arcana of engineers and corporations. So he wrote a book, Starting and Operating Your Own FM Radio Station: From License Application to Program Management, a practical and entertaining narrative about building a low-power station, WHRC-FM, for about $40 000. It is such a shame that this charming and useful book is out of print. Nothing has ever quite captured the challenges of rewards of community-style radio as this book by Peter Hunn.
