>
> free103point9 is partnering with many of these groups
> to create "A Noise," a participatory webstream from the
> August Sound Coalition. Many of the groups are
> introducing new transmission art projects and special
> equipment innovations. free103point9's RNC Radio Lab
> at Flux Factory this Sunday will attempt to explain how
> all this will work.
>
> Tom Roe, Sarah Lippek, and Tianna Kennedy from
> free103point9 will lead a discussion about transmission
> basics, and the many new technologies being employed
> during the RNC protests such as:
>
> NEUROTRANSMITTER'S COMM-UNI-PORT: Mobile backpack
> transmitters from New York-based free103point9 transmission
> artists. http://neurotransmitter.fm
>
> BIT RADIO: An automated radio interruption service for
> local area news. http://www.bureauit.org/radio
>
> SIDE BAND FRS: Using live reports from FRS (Family Radio
> Service= walkie-talkies) and relaying by single sideband,
> reports are sent to FM and CB transmitters.
>
> BIKES AGAINST BUSH: Interactive protest/performance
> using a wireless internet-enabled bicycle outfitted with a
> custom-designed printing device, the Bikes Against Bush
> bicycle can print spray-chalk text messages sent from
> web users directly onto the streets of Manhattan.
> http://bikesagainstbush.com
>
> MAGICBIKE: A mobile WiFi (wireless Internet) hotspot
> that gives free Internet connectivity wherever its ridden
> or parked. http://www.magicbike.net
>
> MOPORT: A free service for generating and sharing mobile
> phone reports. http://www.moport.org
>
> MICRORADIO: A network relaying the signals to
> the streets.

> This free103point9 Radio Lab is part of Flux Factory's
> "Technology Initiative" program. Sarah Lippek and Tianna
> Kennedy have been organizing much of free103point9's
> role in the August Sound Coalition, and will explain
> how the A Noise participatory webstream will work.
> Lippek previously worked with several microradio
> stations in Seattle during the WTO protests, and Roe
> is free103point9's Program Director.
>
> Hopefully, many others from the August Sound Coalition
> will be on hand to answer your questions. Kelly Kombat
> of 87X in Tampa, Florida, is one of many guests that
> may drop in. This Radio Lab is meant to be a discussion,
> so come armed with ideas, questions, and suggestions.
