Most of these are no longer on the web, but they were on 9-19-03 when

originally posted them he

From http:http://www.metroactive.com/papers/me...eat-9735.html:

I missed Creech but got to hear a tape of the band's performance two
days later on a micropowered radio station broadcasting at 91.3FM out
of
Los Gatos known as Radio Free Lost Gatos. The guys in Creech guest
DJed,
heckled callers and played the whole of their set along with some of
their favorite bands. According to RFLG owner/manager/DJ Dr. Slick,
the
station has been operating out of a house "buried in the Los Gatos
hills" for three years. "I do it for fun," Slick says. "I don't do it

because I'm an 'anarchist.' I don't go out and say, 'Kill the cops.'
I'm
positive with radio."

Slick was mum on the wattage but said that 91.3 reaches all of Los
Gatos
and parts of Campbell. Slick plays classic rock, jazz and "a little
bit
of Bach" when not turning the controls over to guest DJs like the
members of Creech. The station can be heard Sundays and Wednesdays,
8pm=AD3am. Meanwhile, the next Gaslighter Theater show stars Monkey,
Blue
Beat Stompers, Steadyups, Lucky Strike and Pigs in Space on Friday
(Sept. 5). As always: all ages and five bucks.

Monkey Man stepped into the world of microbroadcasting about a year
ago,
with his friend Michael Magic at Free-Radio San Jose, 93.7 FM, but
had
to leave the station after some of his on-air hi-jinks went too far.
After that, he started working with Dr. Slick, whose station,
Free-Radio
Los Gatos, is on 91.3 FM on Sunday and Wednesday nights from 8 p.m.
to
11 p.m.

"Then Dr. Slick said I should get my own station, so I went down to
Fry's and got one of those little radio kits for, like, $30." Dr.
Slick
gave Monkey Man an old one-watt amplifier, and another friend, Austin

Tatious of KKUD 104.1 in Willow Glen, donated a mixing board. Pirate
Cat
was on the air.


Cool article! Yeah, i remember those days well....sigh.

Great times!





At the time, I asked:

"It looks like we can look forward to a bigger signal from Radio Free

Lost Gatos (or is it Free-Radio Los Gatos?). No more 'all of Los
Gatos
and parts of Campbell'! Or are you be building FM transmitters and
amplifiers for sale?"

It looks like we now have the answer.



Radio Free Los Gatos doesn't exist anymore, but thanks
for bringing up good memories!

We serve the San Jose/Milpitas area now.

Just because i build transmitters, don't mean
i encourage people to use radiating loads with them!
Dummy loads are a wonderful thing, and you can learn
so much about RF circuit design and the phase-locked-loop!
