I put together a progressive radio mailing list around some of the
developments in the Pacifica stations, and it has attracted some interest
from people in progressive radio elsewhere, but almost no traffic at
all over the past four months or so. There are a number of
resourceful people on the list, but the situation in the US is that
many noncommercial stations are quite wrapped up in their own internal
problems and less interested in the global picture. Also, the radio
spectrum regulations here are such that it is effectively impossible
to license a new community station in any place where there are more
people than cows. On this list there have been a few discussions of
satellite radio, and low power pirate radio ("micro broadcasting")
as it is developing in the US, but really no ongoing thread. You are
welcome to join the list, and perhaps it can reach a large enough
mass of people that there can be some good exchange of ideas. Any of
the subjects above (equipment, program sources, funding, etc.) are
appropriate for this list.

You can subscribe by sending mail to progressive-radio-request@tango.rahul.net
and post to the whole list at progressive-radio@tango.rahul.net.

Other resources include Frank Haulgren's Radio Resistor's Bulletin
which is an excellent source of information on many aspects, see
http://www.rootsworld.com/rw/feature/rrb.html, and the Usenet groups
rec.radio.noncomm, rec.radio.broadcasting and ba.broadcast.
