[creative-radio] US: Push begis for low power radio stations to be available during emergencies.

 

In the wake of Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita, a push began for low
power radio stations to be available during emergencies.

There could be more stations on the radio in the future, but not just to
entertain. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita, a push
began for low power radio stations to be available during emergencies.

Newton County Emergency Management Agency director Gary Galloway supports
the Local Community Radio Act that, if it passes the U.S. House and
Senate, would allow hundreds of new licenses to be granted for low power
FM radio stations.

Galloway just returned from Washington, D.C., where he testified before a
Congressional committee about the need for these licenses.

These stations can run off generators or even a car battery during a power
outage. Immediately after Hurricane Katrina, Galloway says a station like
that was a saving grace.

"They couldn't communicate. They didn't have power. Their homes were wiped
off the foundation. These people needed help," said Galloway.

For three months after the storm, Galloway was one of the scores of
emergency responders who helped with the recovery effort on the coast.

"What I liked about low power FM was us that were trying to help them in
emergency services, we had an access to them over the radio and that was
the immediate," said Galloway.

If passed, Galloway says he would also like to see more low power FM
stations be established along storm evacuation routes. He says he's
hopeful that the measure will pass in both chambers of Congress by the end
of this year.

Re: [creative-radio] Radio pirates are shut down by police [UK]

 

>

Interesting. First it says 'men' were arrested, but this is later amended to 'teenagers'. They are held, and over 45k stg worth of equipment seized, but an adult, a 25 year old woman, is neither held nor charged. One appreciates that some people in the UK are quite well off, but are we expected to believe that these teenagers had enough independent assets to finance 45k stg worth of hardware?

The equipment is being used to 'relay' broadcast material to a remote transmitter, but the news item does not state the grounds on which the police were led to believe (and could convince the magistrate to issue a warrant) that the transmission was effectively controlled from this address.

Needless to say, it also does not specify which other stations suffered 'interference' as a result of this illegal broadcast.

[creative-radio] Buy Nothing Day, 11/25/2009, 12:00 am



Reminder from:   creative-radio Yahoo! Group
 
Title:   Buy Nothing Day
 
Date:   Wednesday November 25, 2009
Time:   All Day
Repeats:   This event repeats every year.
Notes:   For 24 hours on Buy Nothing Day, November 25, we remember that no one was born to shop,
we pause, make a small choice to participate by not participating, and
we regain some calm. What will you do to tell Nike, McDonald's, Walmart
and the rest that enough is enough? Why not run with some ideas dreamt
up by the more than 3,500 jammers who took part in last year's biggest
ever Buy Nothing Day? Set up credit card cut ups, don white coats and
vaccinate against affluenza, give out free samples of nothing - anything
to show that the best things in life are free. You can find more ideas
and tools i

[creative-radio] Chiang Mai : Evidence sought to arrest radio host for threatening premier

 

Evidence sought to arrest radio host for threatening premier
Published: 23/11/2009 at 12:00 AM

[excerpt]

http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/27940/evidence-sought-to-arrest-radio-host-for-threatening-premier

Police are gathering evidence against a local community radio host for
threatening the life of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva on air.

Chiang Mai deputy governor Pairoj Saenphuwong said police could arrest
Phetcharawat Watanapongsirikul, a leader of the Love Chiang Mai 51 group,
who announced on his community radio programme that he would take the life
of Mr Abhisit when he visited the city next Sunday.

Mr Abhisit will be in Chiang Mai to meet the Thai Chamber of Commerce and
the Federation of Thai Industries.

"No one needs to file a complaint with police because it is a criminal
case. Police can make an arrest as soon as the court issues an arrest
warrant," Mr Pairoj said.

The group supports former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra whose native
province is Chiang Mai.

Protesters would be allowed to rally on a ground at the Tha Phae gate when
the prime minister arrives, he said. Any protesters who demonstrate
elsewhere in an unlawful manner would face legal action.
