Radio Free Berkeley is giving workshops on how to build your own pirate^H^H^H^H^H^H^H low-power FM radio station, and what to do when the radio cops come a-knockin'.
Building your own station is also illegal. Dunifer advises his students to enlist the help of an attorney before hopping the airwaves. But he describes microbroadcasting as "electronic civil disobedience" rather than a typical criminal act.
"As far as I'm concerned, the real pirates are the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) and their member stations," Dunifer said, referring to the powerful lobbying group. "They've stolen the airwaves with the full complicity of the FCC and Congress."
