Post by: skeezix on June 17, 2020, 2311 UTC
Are there any MW/FM/SW free radio broadcasts going on in CHAZ/CHOP?

Asking for a friend.

On a different radio forum it's reported that there are none in the area.

Well, from what I've observed from CHAZ, CHOP, or whatever they will next call that now 3 block area, if it can't come over a smart phone, then there's no use, or interest, for it. That, and unless it's all plug& play, I suspect that the technical competency to build, assemble, and run, a pirate station there doesn't exist. Yes, I can certainly be wrong here, but that said in the preceding, it may be interesting to monitor the known pirate FM stations in areas where the protests, and riots, have been going on in other cities.

Seattle had a thriving free radio community back in the 90's.  There was a documentary about it called Pirate Radio USA, the link is here... https://youtu.be/hkQsHHwsj4M (https://youtu.be/hkQsHHwsj4M)

Oh wow!!!! Thanks for the reminder. I haven't corresponded with these two in years. Maybe, I should again. I even bought the DVD at the time and promoted the schytt out of their movie. I just can't believe that was just 15 years ago. (Here comes the Ben Stein WOW here.)

I bought their DVD too.  It took a lot of work to put together and glad they had the foresight to document all they did.

It seems as though there just may be an international incident brewing. While CHAZ-FM is only 15W, they are established.

CHAZ claims they renamed themselves to CHOP, but that just moves the North American conflict east with the 5W blowtorch CHOP-FM is in Ontario.

Now, a protest at the HAARP station would be interesting...
