My last post like this elicited a good exchange over email with Francois D, and he agreed to allow it to be publicly accessible, so I thought it might push the issue a bit further along. I welcome any comments on the issues we raise…

François D. sent me this article and I thought it pertinent to go ahead and post it here. It really give me some hope for the LPFM (Low Power FM) movement down in the US, and hopefully, it may influence law makers here in Canada. Have a look here: http://www.commondreams.org/view/2008/09/25-4
Well, sadly, I’ve boxed up the gear and carted it away from Dare-Dare and Cabot Square. I’m still digesting the work that I did there, so Ill be posting items as they come to mind. I will also be uploading the audio archive here. What I didn’t realize is just how long it takes to [...]
One of the most often asked questions regarding this project, is “Why not just use the Internet?” I usually contend first that amateur radio is the one and only truly free worldwide communications medium. Then I go on to talk about infrastructure issues, radio still works in disaster or places where the infrastructure has otherwise [...]
Sunday we did another workshop, this time it was a FM transmitter building workshop. I was initially introduced to the workshop through Adam Hyde, and then I helped a little at one at ISEA in San Jose, taught by BYP member and collaborator Lotte Meijer.

I have been neglecting the blog here lately, the project in fact has been more dense than I originally thought. Those of you who are looking for more audio, no problem, please be patient, it will come. I’m going to go ahead and just make some entries, but I will make them separate in order [...]
So this past Sunday, I convinced some of the local radio amateur luminaries to come on down to Cabot Square and have a little public talk and discussion forum. I thought it would give a little insight into what I am doing here in the park from a perspective that isn’t from a direct art [...]
Last night I had a major meltdown, my trusty old Toshiba that was given to me by my brother Brandon (star exec chef at Stueben’s in Denver CO) totally died. The hard drive started making some really funny noises, then vibrations, and then poof. Blue screen. The sad part is that I lost a bunch [...]
OK, I slacked a bit the other day and didn’t get my post up, so Ill combine the two days reports together. forgive me…maybe the things are getting a little muddled in my head. Maybe its the radiation. At any rate, I managed to make my first contact on PSK-31 the other day, finally. I [...]
The third day and things were pretty lively on 20 the 20 meter band - I heard a huge pileup for my firs time, and I tried to break in, but no luck. I have been trying to get the digital modes down too, and I think I have a small setting a little bit [...]
