Help! Pirate Radio!

[tommyatkins]

So, if one was to try to set up a radio station. (not pirate radio, I swear...er my friend swears) Yeeesssss...I have this..uh...friend - who's not me - he's managed to come across this site is looking for further assistance. He has this other friend who acutally has some experience in such activities (what a crazy older brother *shakes head*). Does anyone have any recommendations for where he can get some gear? He'd like to not spend to much so as to not limit my headphone related equipment buying (plus there's a distinct possibility of having the gear confiscated...)

Any other suggestions (other than don't get caught - or some suggestion to actually try and get caught ... or any combination of the two...)?

This in no way coinsides with my long paper I am writing. I've actually thought about this before (when I wasn't writing a paper).

Someone at this University is running a pirate station. I don't know him, though.

I'm interested in this myself, because it might be the only way for me to continue to broadcast music I like after college.

Do you know what frequency he transmits on?

Yeah, this friend who isn't me is interested in sharing his great taste for music with others.

In the suburban hinterlands of Arizona, pirate-radio DJ Hard Harry wages a one-man war against boredom from his bedroom transmitter by night. In between great Lenny Bruce-style stream-of-consciousness rants, Harry attacks the airwaves with the likes of the Descendents, Bad Brains, and Concrete Blonde, as well as occasionally kickin' it old school with some early hip-hop. By day, though, Hard Harry is Mark Hunter, a painfully shy new kid who's anonymous to the point of being invisible at Hubert Humphrey High School. Completely misunderstood by his '60s-era parents, Mark is desperate to keep his radio alter ego separate from his day-to-day persona, especially as his radio shows draw more attention from the authorities. Fellow misfit Nora (Samantha Mathis, in her first feature role) eventually discovers Hard Harry's true identity, much to Mark's chagrin, and the two of them become torchbearers against the stifling status quo of the town as they dodge the police, the school administration, and the FCC. There are familiar high school authority archetypes (the assistant principal with clip-on tie, lemon-yellow K-Mart short-sleeved dress shirt, military flattop, and bulky key ring) and a rather strained subplot of a corrupt school administration. Mainly, though, this is a rousing teen call-to-arms that showcases Slater's talents as he developed the cynical, sarcastic neo-Jack Nicholson delivery that would become his trademark. He's at his best during his radio monologues (making them truly seem ad-libbed), and his influences become clear as he checks out a copy of How to Talk Dirty and Influence People from the library. --Jerry Renshaw

Alas; no. He doesn't exactly advertise, so I've heard only rumors.

But those rumors come from my fellow exec. staffers at the university station, so I fully believe them.
