| The above quote is relevant to myself and my
current activities right now. On March fifth, Radio Free Monterey went
on the air, from my bedroom in Old Monterey (near downtown). Upon learning
of the Free Radio Berkeley situation, with that stationÍs help, I
spent approximately three months and $1,400 of my own money to build a
mini radio station at home. With a meager 24 watts of power that barely
broadcasts five miles, I send transmission to the community on an average
of 12 hours a day, six days a week.
Until June 20 th of this year, I was using a frequency currently ìheldî
by KUSP radio, but not yet used by them (to later broadcast from Santa
Cruz) at 89.3 FM. If that frequency becomes in use, by the legal
holder, my signal location will change to another unused FM location, where
I will stay until all the radio frequencies in our area are "bought up
and used."
I have ìa very clean signal,î according to the statement of officer
William B. of the Federal Communications Commission, who on June 10th,
in a very cordial manner presented me with a
warning, a letter which stated my rights and responsibilities
for having been caught broadcasting without an FCC approved permit.
 get a permit? You're kidding . . .
