I would like to build a broad band frequency jammer for the FM broadcast band. I have neighbors that like to play that damn music too loud all day long. I figure if they turn it load and their station goes off the air for a while they might get the message. ;-) :-D If they keep the volume at a respectful level they will be allowed to listen to their music as they wish as long as I don't have to listen to it at uncomfortable levels. I know this is entirely illegal and don't care about it. This is war (!!!)and I plan on winning. If you have plans for something that would help me achieve my goal I would like to hear of it. My electronics skills are advanced (I've used to build and design "bugs" for many years, I own a good equipped lab, enough that I could build a project. I have some experience with rf broadcast circuits. The proximity of the offending radio's location to my house is quite near so I don't believe a transmitter with an overly large power...something between 3-5W will be enough...LOL.... I'm "jamming" this neighbour with a 5W transmitter, but have to change the frequency MANUALLY as soon as he changes the station, so I cannot figure out how to do it automatically... I'll be VERY THANKFUL for your help and ideas :) TIA Nina snipped-for-privacy@gmail.com

You really haven't thought this through have you. Your neighbor isn't doing anything illegal. Your plan IS illegal. You can EASILY be located by the authorities. STIFF fines are involved. If you're in the US, all they gotta do is call the FCC and you're toast. If you're gonna wage war, you should have a winning strategy. Your current one ain't! mike

You are wr>
OK guys, Thanx meantime for your responses. Not getting much help...:( I know it's illegal, I know it's dangerous, and I know that I can build a huge wall between our houses.... But, I'm still interested to build this device, for reasons that I cannot mention here... If anyone wants to help me, please do, but I don't like conferences about my skills, or legal advices etc. TIA to anyone who actually tries to help :) NINA
Instead of a "silent" jam, get a radio on the same frequency next to your transmitter and transmitt a feedback squeel. This would get some attention if they have volume turned up.
Just use a Ramsay kit, wipe out whole goddam FM band in one go!

So you want to wipe out the whole of the band to save you the bother of retuning? I don't think you've thought this through very well. What about everyone else in the neighbourhood who presumably don't annoy others with too much volume? They're going to get wiped out, too. 3-5W can cause quite a bit of widespread local disruption unless you're in a strong signal area.

There is no more valour in you than in a wild duck.
First time around it was to jam a neighbor's loud radio, this time
around you can't say what it _really_ is.
First time around you knew it was illegal, this time around you still
know it, but you don't want to hear about it _and_ you want someone to
help you even though you've said you know it's illegal?
You're not the sharpest knife in the drawer, huh, Nina?
You should be sorry you opened your stupid fucking mouth, but as
starved as you must be for attention, even being shit on would make
you happy, no?
PSSST you are arguing with a bot. As in software generated posts.
try a rotary spark generator..about as cheap as you can get..

And try alt.pirate.radio instead of alt.radio.pirate (you won't get much help from anyone on the mainstream groups for an illegal aim like you've publicised here, I'm afraid).

If I said anything to you that I should be sorry for, I'm glad.

Smear some Jam on your speekers and tune in to their frequency. Then pump up the volume. Get real fat and stand in frount of the speekers, that's your broad band. Or somthing.

Nina,
I'm not being funny here, but have you tried asking them politely to turn their music down? I used to have a similar problem with my neighbours, and I found polite requests surprisingly effective. It may be worth talking to other neighbours to see if they are also annoyed by the load music as, obviously, the more people on your side the more likely the noisy neighbours are to realise that they are in the wrong.
Another thing I would recommend is that you look up the appropriate local laws. For example, here it in England it is an offence to cause a "statutory noise nuisance", which is defined as any noise which causes "unreasonable disturbance to the use and enjoyment of one's property". Persistent offenders can be fined up to 5000 UKP (about $9000).
As others have said, deliberately jamming their radio could get you into serious trouble, maybe even a few months in jail.
Gareth.

So, it is very simple. Figure out what station he's listening to, setup a transmitter on that same frequency (this isn't hard), adjust the power, so it goes for at least 100M, and broadcast intermittent messages.
Tell him things like, "you need to go to sleeeeep...." Or maybe, "they're coming! quick, shutoff the radio!"

Not to recommend that you break FCC rules, but you probably would get minimum hassle using VCO. Note that 3-5W might get a few people you don't want to get. :)
Get high-speed VCO that can cover your range, then drive the input with another oscillator that causes the VCO to step sweep over FM band. Or, instead, you can drive VCO with D/A whose input is PRNG.
But if you really want to get clever, get digital FM receiver chipset, VCO, etc, and make a circuit that allows you to force your neighbor to listen to the station you want him to listen to, by taking the output from the tuner and regenerating it in a spread-spectrum fashion, pausing at each allocated band just long enough to make your station detectable. Of you use mic or line-out of computer with "disturbing sounds on hard disk" to be replayed....
Or you could just knock on door and use oldest analog device known to man - the mouth.
