There's a pirate radio movement and they're advocating for these low power stations.

I've always wished that there were low powered stations here but where are you going to put them in the major cities like Sacramento, ca where I live. Years ago when I lived in The Boston Area of New England we heard several low powered stations on AM at like 610 or 620 which now the foolish FCC has sold to commercial stations. These stations would broadcast just for a couple of hours around midnight and they were basically in New York and I could hear them fairly well. Sure I heard Language that is not necessarily clean but it still was fun to listen. Back in the 80s I was living in San Francisco and there was a feller named Steve Dunifer and he was running a low powered station out of Berkeley which is the East Bay in that area. I know he fought with the FCC on more than one ocassion. He may still be on the air. I don't know if he's broadcasting on the net but he called his station Radio Free Berkeley. *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 9/13/2007 at 4:01 PM Jonathan Mosen wrote: >Hmmm, I'm glad to be living in new Zealand, land of the free. <smile>.
