AMPB REPORT #94

Dear Readers,

Welcome to 2010. Things look about the same from here. World events like the massive quake in Haiti demonstrate the urgent need for micro-power radio to pick up the slack when big-time radio stations are knocked off the air. Of course, our own government must take part of the blame for the chaos in Haiti, since the ouster of President Aristide was planned in Washington DC. If people can contribute to the recovery, probably the Red Cross would be the best charity to contact. Call them at 1-800-REDCROSS or www.redcross.org on the web. We see that small stations are still getting threatened with big fines for illegal broadcasting, while the so-called “Voice of America” is beaming into Zimbabwe with pirate stations. Check the following station alerts for more info. We salute Jayhaed Saade of MIX FM 91.9 for challenging the Canadian authorities and we wish him good luck in his struggles. As someone once said, “direct action gets the goods”. The best way to get an unfair law changed is for millions of people to challenge it repeatedly. Finally, on february 6th at 2:00 PM, there will be a screening of the film, “Pirate Radio” (formerly known as The Boat That Rocked). FCCFreeRadio.com and Indy Arts and Media will present a panel on LPFM radio (often called pirate radio). FCCFree Radio staff will share their stories and answer questions! Red Vic Movie House, 1727 Haight Street in San Francisco.

STATION ALERT

Austin Pirate Fine Is Confirmed

Ten grand is the confirmed penalty for a pirate radio operation heard in Austin, Texas, in 2009. It’s a case in which the station operators argued that the FCC doesn’t have jurisdiction on broadcasts within one state. It’s also of note because it came and went relatively quickly, as FCC enforcements go — it’s been less than five months since the initial complaint — and also because the commission says the illegal broadcasts continued even after agents had notified the operators they were in violation and outlined possible penalties. The FCC this week upheld an earlier notice of apparent liability against Jerry and Deborah Stevens for operation on 90.1 MHz. The commission says the Houston office of the Enforcement Bureau in August used its direction-finding gear to source the signals at the Austin home in response to a complaint. It then issued a notice of unlicensed operation, which the Stevens acknowledged. They requested additional time to provide information in their reply. The commission granted 30 days to provide info but said its agents identified illegal broadcasts on two subsequent dates. The Stevens responded by admitting operating radio transmitting equipment, though only within the boundaries of Texas, and questioned the FCC’s jurisdiction over intrastate communications. In November the FCC issued its notice of apparent liability. Jerry and Deborah Stevens then contested it, citing a question of FCC jurisdiction. They also questioned whether the resident agent who signed the NAL had the authority to do so. The FCC has now reiterated in its ruling that the law “explicitly sets forth the commission’s jurisdiction over all radio transmissions, both interstate and intrastate.” It also explained that “resident agents at each installation are delegated authority by the commission to act upon applications, requests or other matters, which are not in hearing status.” And resident agents may indeed issue a written notice of apparent liability, it ruled. The fine was confirmed by the regional director of the South Central Region of the Enforcement Bureau.

Industry Canada criticized over handling of pirate station

By KENNETH JACKSON

Industry Canada is coming under fire for failing to punish an Ottawa pirate radio station that has returned to the air once again. Radio enthusiasts have been complaining to Industry Canada since the so-called MIX FM 91.9 returned sometime on Dec. 24. The station has been playing pop music around the clock. They've also been voicing their anger online. "The incompetence of Industry Canada is astonishing. I wonder at what point some bright light at IC will come up with the bright idea of actually confiscating the equipment?" wrote one visitor at digitalhome.ca. The technology website broke the story about the pirate station in early December. Since then, a forum thread dedicated to 91.9 has generated more than 850 posts from radio executives, amateurs and enthusiasts. Jayhaed Saade, a.k.a. DJ J, started the station out of his father's Saade International Inn. The 14-year-old told QMI Agency he bought the transmitter and put it up himself. He did so without his father's knowledge, he said. Industry Canada issued a first warning in early December. Saade went off the air for a day but then started back up. Shortly after midnight on Dec. 14, he went silent again. Days prior to this, Saade got his second cease-and-desist order from Industry Canada. He was told he faced daily fines and jail time if he continued. Saade apologized and said he'd apply for a licenceIndustry Canada admits the case with 91.9 isn't common and there is an active investigation. "This type of situation is rare. Industry Canada's approach to enforcement action in such cases begins with an attempt to sensitize and educate unauthorized station operators of unlawful activities under the Radio Communications Act," said spokesman Michel Cimpaye in an e-mail to QMI Agency.

Botswana dismisses pirate radio claims

The Botswana government has responded to reports that it is hosting pirate radio stations broadcasting hate speech against President Robert Mugabe. It referred to the reports as “baseless” and an attempt to divert attention away from the real political issues facing the country. The Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Phandu Skelemani, said the accusations that Botswana is using the American radio station, Voice of America, to spread hate propaganda against the Zimbabwean government is false because Botswana does not control the station’s editorial content. “The VOA station in Botswana is just a relay station, which has absolutely no control on editorial content. Everything is done in Washington,” said Skelemani in a report published in the Botswana media.Skelemani’s comments comes at the back of a series of scathing attacks in the state owned Herald newspaper in which the Zimbabwean government accused Botswana of hosting Studio 7, a specialist broadcasting station on Zimbabwe. The Zimbabwean government also accused Madagascar of hosting Radio VOP which also broadcasts into Zimbabwe. It argued that these broadcasts are spreading hate speech and threatens the existence of a ten-month old coalition government. But VOA’s Director of Africa Broadcasting, Gwen Dillard, said the accusations were completely inaccurate. “The government needs to open its tight regulations for independent and free media. If the government liberalised the media space, there wouldn’t be any need for us,” said Dillard.

AMPB REPORT #93

Dear Readers,

Every now and then the authorities get excited and go out and start some enforcement activities. We don’t know if it’s caused by moon phases or solar flares, but probably they are just doing the bidding of their bosses. Right now we seem to be in one of those “heightened enforcement” periods. Stories about the fines against Pirate Cat Radio and Radio Free Brooklyn follow. All I can say is watch out for these FCC guys and whatever you do, don’t let them in to “inspect your facility”. If they’re in your area, a good strategy may be to go quiet until they go away. Changing location also seems to work as a stall tactic. Most enforcement seems to be generated by complaints, so try not to make people want to complain about you. Send out a clean signal and don’t interfere with licensed stations. The movie formerly known as “The Boat That Rocked” has finally made it to the US in a shortened form and retitled “Pirate Radio”. We hope it inspires people to join in the fun. Anyway, enjoy any slack time that comes your way and remember that shortwave stations like to crank it up during the holidays so tune in to the area just below 7 megahertz and see what you can hear!

HUGE BLOW IN WAR AGAINST CORPORATE DOMINATION OF THE AIRWAVES; PIRATES TAKE A HIT.

San Francisco, CA, 10/31/2009 — Pirate Cat Radio, a volunteer-run, community broadcasting organization operating out of the Pirate Cat Café in San Francisco’s Mission district, has ceased its terrestrial broadcast on 87.9FM in response to the latest demands of the Federal Communications Commission. In a notice dated August 31, 2009 the FCC asserted that Monkey, the founder of Pirate Cat Radio, “willfully and repeatedly violated Section 301 of the Communications Act of 1934” and proposed to fine him $10,000 for the infraction. By bringing to bear the full weight of the Federal government against continued broadcast operations, the FCC’s order effectively ends Pirate Cat Radio’s thirteen-year run as one of the Bay Area’s most consistent voices of protest against corporate-run media monopolies and monocultural programming. The FCC was established by the Communications Act of 1934, and was given the responsibility of making a “fair, efficient and equitable distribution of radio service”, and to ensure that broadcasters serve the ‘public interest’. It is hard to understand how fining the founder of Pirate Cat Radio, an entirely volunteer run community station, and effectively taking them off the air after 13 years, is an appropriate action and in the public’s interest There have never been any complaints over PCRs content. Pirate Cat Radio provides an important community service one that has been recognized by the Board of Supervisors in a certificate of honor. They are one of the best sources of news and regularly broadcast Al Jazeera and BBC bulletins. The news is read in every 2-hour DJ slot. They make regular valuable PSAs and publicize local events. They take an active approach to involving the community, by bringing local unsung heroes and talents into the studio. Pirate Cat Radio provides a voice and outlet for many sections of the community of the Bay Area which cannot make themselves heard anywhere else. If the public’s interests are to be served then ‘ordinary’ people must be allowed to make their voice heard and to be allowed to express themselves creatively without regard for commercial success. The FCC’s policy instead seems to be protecting the airwaves for the big corporations to pump out their bland, homogenized wasteland offering dull limited playlists, banal chat and censored opinions. Until this happens people must continue to challenge the corporate domination of the airwaves. Looking to the future, PCR can continue as an internet only station and the café/studio on 21st st will continue to operate, but at least for the time being, but it cannot safely broadcast over the terrestrial FM band without possibly jeopardizing its volunteers and supporters. How this will affect the service is not clear yet, although it is true that the majority of their listeners are now online or downloading podcasts. “Obviously this is a major disappointment,” says Monkey, “But we made a collective decision that Pirate Cat Radio must come off the public airwaves, until some method is found to change the law or get it authorized under existing law.”

Radio Free Brooklyn Gets Slapped

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has levied a $10,000 fine against two Flatbush “schlock jocks” who were operating a pirate radio station out of their own apartment. FCC officials said that Jean Clerveau and Jocelyn Edwards were “providing services and facilities incidental to the operation of an unlicensed radio transmitter when they were caught playing their tunes on 90.5 FM. FCC agents uncovered the radio station when they were investigating a complaint of radio interference on East 19th Street back in March 2008. The agent not only followed the signal back to their second-floor apartment, but reportedly found an antenna on the top of the roof, according to an FCC spokesman. The building manager told them that the apartment in question belonged to Clerveau and Edwards, but the couple denied running a radio station out of their pad. Officials admitted that when they finally caught Clerveau at home, they could not find any radio equipment on the premises although the inspection took place after the FCC had sent the couple a letter and had made several attempts to visit the home. Clerveau and Edwards claimed that the unlicensed radio station was actually transmitting from across the street but could not provide any evidence, officials said. Nor could the FCC, who imposed the fine “absent of any other evidence that their agents were mistaken.”

Two times the charm.

AMPB REPORT #92

Dear Readers,

Another 9/11 anniversary passes and still our government stands by the official version of what happened. The current president has even gone so far to connect 9/11 truthers to holocaust deniers. I don’t see the truth coming out any time soon. In Oakland, the 9/11 film festival was a two day event this year, and once again the best work seems to be coming from overseas. Featured films included 7/7 Ripple Effect (from the BBC), Kill the Messenger (France), The New American Century (Italy), and Anthrax War which was made by two americans (Bob Coen and Eric Nadler), but they had to get production funding from a french company. By the way, Anthrax War has a companion book called Dead Silence and I would recommend it to anyone concerned about the billions of dollars spent every year in america for “bio-defense”. It’s hard enough to get people to turn out for 9/11 truth here in the “liberal” bay area. It’s even harder when you live in the deep south, like our intrepid reporter W.C. Moore. His report is included later in this newsletter. Project Censored has released another of their Top 25 Lists. We have the links for you to make it easy. Congrats to Monkey from Pirate Cat Radio for his recent marriage and glowing commendation from the San Francisco City Council. He has also invented something called a Bacon Maple Latte, which seems to be getting very popular. I’d also like to salute everyone at FCC Free Radio for raising the jolly roger antenna and thanks to everyone who came out for the Berkeley Liberation Radio tenth anniversary party. As always, your support is appreciated! -Paul Griffin (for the AMPB)

FCC to propose 'Net neutrality' rules

The head of the FCC plans to propose new rules that would prohibit Internet service providers from interfering with the free flow of information and certain applications over their networks. The proposals would uphold a pledge Barack Obama made during the presidential campaign to support Internet neutrality and would bar Internet service providers such as Verizon Communications Inc., Comcast Corp. or AT&T Inc., from slowing or blocking certain services or content flowing through their vast networks. Without strict rules ensuring Net neutrality, consumer watchdogs fear the communications companies could interfere with the transmission of content, such as TV shows delivered over the Internet, that compete with services the ISPs offer, like cable television. Internet providers have opposed regulations that would inhibit the way they control their networks.

Praise for the Pirates

www.sfgate.com

Pirate Cat Radio has been the main pirate radio station broadcasting in San Francisco since San Francisco Liberation Radio was stormed by the Feds. A cafe and pirate radio studio, Pirate Cat Radio stands proudly on the corner of 21st and Florida in the Mission District. Local commercial radio is mostly a bad joke, run from corporations in other cities who choose the programming. Many radio show hosts don't live or haven't even been to San Francisco. College radio and pirate radio helps us all breathe a sigh of relief with local programming and live local DJs. Almost as cool as pirate radio is local government support. Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi visited the cafe and radio studio to present a certificate of highest recommendation for outstanding service to San Francisco. Take that FCC. For the station's founder and manager and the 50+ volunteers who keep the station running with fine programming, it's a welcome pat on the tushie from our local government. Congrads Pirate Cat Radio. Thank you San Francisco. Here's the words from the cert: "The Board of Supervisors of the city and county of San Francisco hereby issues and, and authorizes the execution of, this certificate of honor in appreciative public recognition of distinction and merit for outstanding service to a significant portion of the people of the city and county of San Francisco. Pirate Cat Radio, in recognition of your trailblazing efforts towards freeing the airwaves from corporate control, providing the community with training in radio broadcast skills, empowering voices ignored by traditional media outlets; and contributing to the advancement of the City's coffee culture through the unique creations of baristas of the Pirate Cat Radio Cafe; the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco, extends its highest commendation!"

Promoting 911 Truth in the bible belt

by W.C. Moore

After having worked as an associative sponsor and host of the San Francisco 911 International Inquiry in 2004 alongside a group of dozens of volunteers, organizing a 911 Truth event as a sole promoter in a southern red state was quite a lonely and exhausting experience. Never-the-less, I consider the event went well, although not due to popular attendance. Merely by the numbers it was quite much a disappointment since I had only about 22 total attendees over both the early and evening presentations. However, from past experience and from an awareness of the mindset of bible belt folks down here, I was not especially surprised though it was a tad disappointing considering the outlay of promotion, advertising and foodstuff. But on the favorable side I had several people who were clearly moved and seemingly even shocked upon becoming apprised of information and testimonials they had never heard or seen before. And most fortunately, I did have 4 of my A-team friends and relatives who volunteered assist for the day of the event. Although I had mailed flyers to some 2 dozen persons whom I knew from earlier days, not one among them showed up. Several people who acknowledged that they were planning to attend, also were no-shows. I had put up flyers at numerous cafes and eateries, etc., more on that later. A few attendants had seen the ad I ran on the local cable channel outlet, sandwiched there among the funeral announcements and such. Some of the more interesting aspects were: a couple of ladies in attendance acknowledged they were from New York and that they had lost a friend in the catastrophe. As the presentation proceeded, with each startling and sobering testimonial that ensued, I noticed them looking at each other. I felt they were maybe on the fence, hoping against hope that our government was not involved but rapidly coming over in recognition that their worst nightmares had been confirmed - that their friend was indeed victim of a maniacal plot orchestrated by our own government. Several others expressed appreciation of the presentation and offered volunteer assist for possible future events. There were three or four of my friends/relatives who, although they had heard much of my talking and a few of my videos over recent years, just then had the disturbing reality gel for them due to the substance of the presentational videos. I spent weeks editing and carefully selecting short segments and did the video DJ approach of making mainly brief introductory commentaries between pieces to keep them moving quickly but to hold attention by keeping them short. At a few of the venues where I had placed flyers, I noticed them to be disappearing over a few days. Presumably, most were taken by truly concerned individuals, but a few may have been removed by conservatives who thought them shameful to imply government complicity. I do know that one person complained to the proprietors of a local eatery that such material should not be up on their bulletin board. But being a regular customer and having apprised most of the personnel about my presentation, they had no problem with them being posted. There was another location, a convenience store out in the country where a flyer had endured a bout of graffitti. At the top was written, "Join all the crazy people here'. And at the bottom it said, "UFO's and aliens will be there too". This was of note because the person had to have taken the flyer out if its plastic sheet protector, written the comments there-on and then replaced it back in the protector. One of my acquaintances who attended was a retired naval vet. He's been totally incredulous all along as to government complicity, at least in part because of his history with the military. But he complimented me on the quality of the presentation and then left fairly soon afterwards. I got the impression that he'd been moved by what he'd seen and that just maybe he was having a hard time dealing with it. Another friend, also from way back with whom I attended junior high was clearly a tad shocked with some of the revelations. He's one who had been avoiding looking at the 911 video I'd sent him over 2 years ago - in part because as he admitted, he was 'trying to get up the nerve to watch it." He also admitted that he planned to attend the earlier presentation for fear of a greater likelihood that someone might be taking pictures or license plates of attendees during the evening event. Also, the community center that I rented had a morning meeting scheduled for a group of mayors from around the county. The evening before, I had moved in most of my equipment and displays. The sign that I made for out front which said, "911 WTC Update", had been left within the room leaning against the back wall but facing towards the front. When we went in after their meeting I noticed that the sign had been turned around facing the wall so that its message was not visible to the mayors. Apparently the set-up crew figured it would disturb the mayors' sensibilities to merely have such a sign visible. If they only knew - the week before I had repainted the sign from its previous message, "911 Was an Inside Job", out of concern for the mindset of these fuddy-duddys.

STATION ALERT

States ask FCC's OK to jam prison cell phones

By MEG KINNARD (AP) — A Southern prison official says correctional leaders from more than two dozen states have signed a petition asking permission to jam cell phone signals inside state penitentiaries and thwart inmates' forbidden phone calls. South Carolina Corrections Director Jon Ozmint said his petition was filed Monday with the Federal Communications Commission. He said it bears signatures from corrections directors in 25 states and three cities. Ozmint says contraband cell phones allow inmates to communicate and plan other crimes. Inmates in several states have been accused of doing just that. Under current law, however, the FCC can only allow federal agencies — not state or local authorities — permission to jam cell phone signals.

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking:

Policies to Promote Rural Radio Service

The FCC has adopted a Notice of Proposed

Rulemaking (NPRM), seeking comment on a number of procedures designed to

streamline the process of allocating new FM channels and AM frequency assignments,

with an emphasis on encouraging policies that foster new and modified channel

assignments favoring smaller communities, rural areas, and Native American and Alaska

Native tribal areas. The Commission proposes a number of rule and procedural changes

addressing channel assignment and allotment priorities under Section 307(b) of the

Communications Act of 1934, as amended, including proposing a new priority for Native

American and Alaska Native tribes and their members seeking to provide new radio service

to tribal lands. The Commission also proposes a number of smaller but significant procedural changes designed to make the allotment and assignment of radio channels more efficient.

From: Boulder Freeradio

Hello BFR friends and family,

Recently Boulder Free Radio was visited twice by the FCC, asking us to stop broadcasting both times. If you're an occasional or avid FM listener you have probably noticed that we have not been on air since the second FCC visit. We are taking this downtime as an opportunity to re-organize, get started on new projects, and bring some new faces into the group. In the past we have primary focused on DJ's, but as a part of our re-organization process we are now looking for help in various other areas. If you might want to help out with any of these things please don't hesitate to get in touch! boulderfreeradio at gmail dot com

One of BFR's core operating principals is that the radio waves be seen as a natural resource AND not a means of revenue generation. By embracing this drastically different approach to radio, we have room for innovation, ideas and music that corporate and even community stations simply cannot have. We have the ability to test new ideas with out fear of failure, our content is then driven by what people ejory listening to, not by what will yield the most donations or sell the most advertising (regardless of what Abritorn says, we do not believe that ad-revenu is an accurate mesaure of community listener base). We see a future for FM radio that is vastly different than what we have now, and are ready and willing to work and learn for it. With every FCC bust we grow stronger and more dedicated to our cause, more people reach out, more people get involved. If you like what we are doing but dont have time or resources to get involved more, consider heading over to our website and making a donation. http://boulderfreeradio.com Thanks for your eyes and ears.

with love, BFR

NLE 09-coming soon to your back yard!

BY TEXLAHOMA

On the morning of September 11th, 2001, Dick Cheney was running several war games in the north eastern portion of the United States. These drills included many hijacking scenarios, where commercial jets were hijacked and flown into buildings. A fictional "scenario" of multiple bomb attacks on London's underground took place at exactly the same time as the bomb attack on July 7, 2005. With these facts in mind you can understand why I'm just a bit apprehensive about the upcoming drills starting on July 27th. National Level Exercise 2009 is a White House directed, Congressionally- mandated exercise that includes the participation of all appropriate federal department and agency senior officials, their deputies, staff and key operational elements. In addition, broad regional participation of state, tribal, local, and private sector is anticipated. This year the United States welcomes the participation of Australia, Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom in NLE 09. The NLE 09 scenario will begin in the aftermath of a terrorist event outside of the United States, and exercise play will center on preventing subsequent efforts by the terrorists to enter the United States and carry out additional attacks. This scenario enables participating senior officials to focus on issues related to preventing terrorist events domestically and protecting U.S. critical infrastructure. NLE 09 will be an operations-based exercise to include: activities taking place at command posts, emergency operation centers, intelligence centers and potential field locations to include federal headquarters facilities in the Washington D.C. area, and in federal, regional, state, tribal, local and private sector facilities in FEMA Region VI, which includes the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.
