Then how come all I hear on the webstream is F-this and F-that... Static would sound more pleasing than that!

Well it's not true that FRSC is all F this and F that. For crissakes, they took down Howard Zinn reading poetry when the storm troopers pulled the plug. If you are going out of your way to tune in a web-stream, you must value the service, and if it is offensive there are THOUSANDS of other webstreams. I have a libertarian streak, and I think you are intelligent enough to choose what you want to listen to, and F- the nanny gov't protecting our poor little sensibilities.

There are thousands of unused CPs in the United States today and are quickly expiring. Lots of open frequency available.

This is a red herring argument. There are liscences available all over the empty plains of Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota, bm-hole Mississippi, etc etc, but wherever population is concentrated, liscences are NOT available. There is no LPFM liscence available in the Santa Cruz listening area, this is a fact. There is no LPFM liscence available here in Houston, although there is plenty of space on the dial. So, the option is, shut up and go home, or get a CB radio and talk to the truckers. FRSC provides a valuable service to community, they have done so by practicing civil disobedience by necessity. Civil Disobedience is a time honored practice in the United States. The FCC is not a time honored bureacracy, the FCC has been manipulated by reactionary forces and corporate bastards since its inception. Note how the FCC was used by RCA to rip off the FM technology patent from the guy who invented FM broadcasting.

>>What do you know about Prometheus Radio Project?

I know that they consider LPFM a success.

This is patently false. I know the good people at Prometheus and they consider the current legislation around LPFM to be an abomination, and they continue the battle to change that through proper channels. Prometheus helps people to obtain and construct LPFM stations, but I think I can speak for them in saying that they are simply working with what they've got, and do NOT consider the current status of LPFM legislation a success.

FCC requested "proof" of any types of interferance issues and they weren't able to provide any, so the FCC is working to expand the LPFM project.

Bullshit

normally I would call you an asshole at this point too, but I'm just going to call you "closed-minded".

well, the comment was un-called for and I apologize.\

here's an FCC hearing, if you want to check it out....previously broadcast on FRSC San Antonio
