Sick of shitty radio? Build a station!

Pass this along if you can't use it -- someone you know may know someone.

I recently got some info in the mail from the very righteous Prometheus Radio Project. They're a group of radio activists who educate people on how to take the airwaves back into their own hands. They do some great work: guiding pirate radio stations who want to go legit through the legal hoops; explaining how to take advantage of opportunities; etc.

So, first of all, get into them. And second, get into their announcement that the FCC will soon be accepting applications for new stations, which ALMOST NEVER HAPPENS.

The below is copied from their website.

The FCC has announced the upcoming Non-Commercial/Educational Full Power filing window!

The seven day window will be open from Friday, October 12^th through the 19^th, 2007. This is it, folks – your best, and possibly last, opportunity to bring full power community radio to your town. Don't let this ship sail without you!

Applications have to be filed on-line and won't be accepted before or after the window; so talk to an engineer and attorney, and get that application filled out! If you aren't already working with an engineer and attorney, call us at 215-727-9620 extension 509, or email fullpower_questions [at] prometheusradio [dot] org.
