Don't be silly Roy! I might sell 100 watt
broadcast band transmitters, but i only encourage
people to use them into 50 Ohm non-radiating dummy
loads!

Hehe! Makes a great bed-warmer!



Or try a google search of "dr slick" "pirate radio"

This is an outright lie. On Ebay and at

http://www.talkaboutradioshows.com/g...ages/7526.html

you say:

"...WHETHER 50 OHM DUMMY LOAD OR A

PROPERLY TUNED ANTENNA..."

An antenna is not in the category of "...non-radiating dummy loads!".

But if you read it carefully, you will
note that i only am stating the conditions whereby the
final transistors will not be blown, which is
a 50 Ohm dummy load or a properly tuned antenna.

But I don't encourage anyone to break the law,
heaven forbid!

Most of these are no longer on the web, but they were on 9-19-03 when I
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*3am. 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.

From http://www.svcn.com/archives/lgwt/05...PirateCat.html

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.

------------- end of Web quotes ---------------

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.

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

Great times!

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!

How about KPIG, which indeed started out
as a pirate station?

Toasters? No, you mean bed-warmers!

So basically, i sell bed-warmers for
the furtherance of one's knowledge of
FM broadcast electronics.

For the future I plan on marketing an
excellent line of specially shaped dummy-loads
that can accept a coffee mug on the top,
for keeping your coffee warm all day!

Heehee!
