One of the things I still have to figure out is how to remotely monitor and control this radio station.
At a minimum I am required to be able to turn it off within three hours if anything goes wacko. I think I have an idea about that one. I can poke a hole in the internet firewall and get into the playback computer. I have a way to turn off the transmitter from there.
The big-shot stations have equipment ($$$) to monitor their frequency, modulation and power output. That type of thing can be set up to trigger an email or even turn off the transmitter.
I’m contemplating trying to use a beaglebone computer to do that. Beaglebone was what I used in the solar powered weather station project. I have to figure out how to measure the stuff I want to monitor.
