Yes, a license, too. But this would be setup as a missionary radio
station in remote villages of third world countries.

Receivers? Batteries?

third world countries

Don't forget the bribes to local officials (aka "the guys with the
guns"). And depending on the political situation you have to bribe the
rebels too.

All those things will eventually be taken care of. But I'm just curious
about the basic system setup. Am I missing anything else?

Power source, program material, people on programming side and people
on tech side and people on facility maintenance side.

Keeping a transmitter going in third-world conditions isn't rocket
science but depending on the antenna/facilities it usually takes at
least one guy. In really corrosive/jungle-like conditions it'll take
more.

Depending on your desired broadcast range you might be better off with
a (local) broadcast-band or maybe even FM transmitter to reach your
audience.

If you can define your target audience socio/economico/geographically
you can then define the transmitter and program material. Otherwise
you're very likely to set up a station that nobody wants to listen to.

who is doing the same thing now.They can give you some good tips,I
think.

All the spare parts you can carry, stored in water tight containers
and packed with desiccant to keep the humidity from corroding the
contacts and leads.
