nonaligned radio
I did some stuff on KBOO summer of '78. I did Radio Esoterica on KBVR
the OSU station,in Corvallis on and off between '75 and 82 or 3. I was
never a student-my version of pirate radio was to just take over a slot.No
-one ever thought to ask if I was a student. I'd been around when people
did
that at WGTU in DC,the Georgetown U station. There are a number of Micro
pirate stations I knew some people in the 90s who broadcast with this
little tiny 15 watt transmitters,and they'd get several people around the
SF/Berkely /Oakland doing it simultaneoulsy ,which made them almost
impossible to catch ,cause you have to triangulate to locate a signal
source. Years ago I knew someone who would broadcast from a van-a moving
signal is also hard to locate. Berkely and Santa Cruz have Free radio
stations that have been going for years.Periodically the FCC siezes their
equip,but they get some more and continue-maybe change broadcast freq.
There are actually fairly cheap freqs on AM radio in many area. I've
been picking up tis statioin that broadcasts in Hindi,Urdu ,Punjabi mostly
talk ,but they play a lot of Filmi and Indian Pop some of which is very
cool. Very low broadcats standards they constantly cut things off and
jump
around , volume changes radically.Radio Hamasafer I pick up a Chinese AM
station too,I just listen to the sound of the language,like it's music
it's
probably all ads ,I can't even tell.
