I completely agree with "pah thetic..." and "A concerned citizen." Not only are there legal ways to broadcast (Part 15 AM will go about a mile)

Free Radio Santa Cruz is a provider of quality audio. Not scratchy, distorted bullshit. As a producer, adopted by FRSC, it is important to me that my work is presented with the commitment to quality that respects the amount of time I put into the work..... in the same way that any musician would feel about this. AM sound quality is horrible. Nobody wants to listen to bad audio, it's irritating, and folks simply tune out. If I want to hear bad audio, I'll stuff steel wool up my ass, put tinfoil on my head shove my tounge into a light socket, and listen for your Part 15 broadcast, soon to come.

but instead of getting a LPFM license they just decide to broadcast illegally.

No shit? I didn't realize there were any LPFM liscences available in your area, I guess I got bad information, however, if you know different, please share your wisdom.

I've built positive relationships with government officials and in doing so have been able to create change.

Holy crap, I didn't realize that, if I would have known that, I would have never criticized you...... please accept my apology.
However, if you want to generalize your astounding contributions to humanity, perhaps you should articulate this at <My Astounding Contributions to Humanity via Relationships with gov't officials @ yahooogroups.com>

This thread has to do with the history of the FCC in the US, why storm troopers were sent in to a 42 watt local station. What do you know about Dunifer? What do you know about Prometheus Radio Project and their lawsuits against the FCC.What do you know about the NAB and NPR lobbying Congress to restrict LPFM liscences? Where were you when the FCC paraded their dog and pony show accross the US? We're talking about access to the airwaves, a subject you obviously know nothing about, because you were busy building positive relationships with gov't officials.

Your positive relationships with gov't officials has made no difference in Free Speech, access to the airwaves by the 'people', or anything else pertinant to this thread.

*If you want to make a difference in your community, I suggest you do security at a battered womens shelter, and lead with your face, asshole.
