You have to have the money to invest in it at the risk of not getting it back. But if it worked out it could make you wealthy.\n\nTo draw investors you'd have to do it on a small scale and show it's profitable then they would help.

"dose any one know how to start a radio station?"\n\n\nYes, I do.  Lots of other people do too.\n\nI doubt very much that you are an investor or entrepreneur.\n\nI suspect that you just want to play around, and play around without a licence or any knowledge whatsoever.\n\nSo I won't help you, and I hope that anyone who has any knowledge (and common sense) won't help you either.

I just answered your other question, too, and there I recommended starting with the city first.  I'd just call the city and ask.

There is really no way of answering this without more information.\n\nWhy don't both of you (separately) write a list of things you want in a city.  Consider aspects like size, climate, culture, sports and recreation, distance from friends and family, higher education, crime level, etc. and then compare your lists.  From these you can narrow your choices down.\n\nActually, I admire what you are doing.  It will be an adventure as well as a new beginning.  How exciting for you both!

try going to sba.gov, it is the small business administration website, and it has all kinds of info on running a business, and i know there are tutorials for writing business plans, so probably something or a link to something that will help you. Also, bids submitted to government agencies are probably public record...why not see if you can access some construction bids to see what type of format they use? hope it helps

Your best place to start would be with the state transportation agency.

wather train?????\ninteresting

For trains, first you find your destination.  All stations in big cities have lists of destinations in English, but if you get out in the country they might not.  Anyway, you find the station where you want to go, and the list will show you the fare.  You then go to the machine, insert enough money, and push the button for the amount you need. \n\nWhen going to the platform, you simply insert the ticket into the slot at the front of the gate, walk through, and take the ticket.  On your way out, put the ticket in, and the machine will keep it.\n\nIf you're using the subway, you'll occasionally need to take trains from two seperate lines.  This may require you to actually exit one gate and enter the next one with the same ticket.  If that's the case, be sure to look for the gate marked "transfer" or else you won't get the ticket back!\n\nAlso, if you find that your ticket doesn't have enough fare on it, just find the Fare Adjustment Machine and insert your ticket.  The machines are located near the exits.  When you insert your ticket, it will tell you how much money you have to add, and once you do it will give you a new ticket.\n\nAs for the bus, it's actually the opposite of the US and Canada.  You board the bus from the middle door and take a ticket.  The ticket will have a number on it that shows the zone where you got on.  At the front of the bus will be a display with the zone numbers and the current fare for them.\n\nMost busses have automatic announcements for the upcoming stops.  When you hear yours, press the button near your seat.  As you get off, put the fare listed by your number in the coin box along with your ticket and leave through the front door.  If you need change, the coin receiver will usually have a change machine attached to it.\n\nHappy trails!

You need to start with simple model rockets and work your way up.\n\nDepending on where you live, you need to work your way up to something that big.  This would involve getting a license.\n\nIt is also a big event and would require a large investment of time and money.

Start with your city regulations first. If they are not easy to satisfy you will know tomorrow.

GOOD IDEA.\n\nEven better - why not build more of the Japanese train (there's a small one in the UK too) which travels on the +/- polarity of magnets along with an accelerator.\nThere is no friction at all with these, and, apparently, no limit to a top speed !\n\nThere are no environmental issues either.\n\nBig question though, would the oil/gas companies allow it, seeing it would destroy their business ?
