Issue #13, Winter, 1996, of the RADIO RESISTOR'S BULLETIN is now
available by e-mail, regular post, or from our Web site.

Issue #13  contains a piece by David Ciaffardini about the astonishing
success and local support for Excellent Radio, a micro radio station
operating without license in California.  ("... a forthright, above-board,
non-confrontational, positive, broadcasting approach... demonstrates
community enhancing benefits.")

John Whiting muses about whether hard-core community radio activists want
station democracy or the "anarchistic order" of personal responsibility.

>From "In These Times", a reprint of Robert McChesney's article "TELECON!".
McChesney discusses the history of U.S. telecommunications law and its
likely impact on the very near future. ("Through their immense power in
Washington, D.C., the commercial broadcasters were able to dominate the
Federal Radio Commission so that the scarce number of channels were turned
over to them with no public and little Congressional deliberation.")

Craig Kois provides an overview of the recently concluded 25th
Anniversary Loyola Radio Conference in Chicago.  Geert Lovink's "Listen
or Die! A history of Radio Dood (Death)" is excerpted providing a
fascinating glimpse into the Amsterdam punk/pirate seen of the 80's.

And of course there are letters, publication notes, the INFOBOX and
an extra long Radio Briefs section including information on the CBC's
decision to kill its shortwave service come March of next year.

The RADIO RESISTOR's BULLETIN is intended to serve as a conduit for
information, ideas, and the concerns of those who care passionately about
non-commercial radio in all of its forms.
