The US Federal Communications Commission granted Driftless Community Radio, Inc a construction permit to build a full-power non-commercial radio station operating at 91.9 MHz on March 24, 2009. We had up to three years from that date to get the station on the air. In this presentation, I'll describe how I gathered together a rag-tag bunch of systems (and people!) to build a radio station that's powered by volunteers and Linux systems. WDRT, Viroqua, WI was on the air within a year and a half and has broadcast continuously over the air and on an Internet stream for the past four years.
