Keith Perry, North Austin Clandestine Radio Signal

The discussion focuses on Keith Perry, a micro-broadcaster operating a 90-watt station at 95.9 FM in North Austin. Perry uses a 70-foot tower and professional engineering to ensure his signal does not drift or interfere with other stations. The panel also references Stephen Dunifer of Free Radio Berkeley, who successfully challenged FCC injunctions in federal court on First Amendment grounds.

Interstate Commerce, FCC Jurisdiction and Equipment Seizures

Keith Perry's argument that the FCC only has jurisdiction over interstate radio is examined, suggesting that low-power signals staying within state lines should be exempt from federal control. The panel warns that despite legal arguments, the FCC and local police often seize equipment, including non-broadcasting items like refrigerators, during raids. They compare the current micro-broadcasting surge to the hemp movement's use of civil disobedience.
