Dunifer, who founded his 50-watt FM station in 1993, is a lifelong leftist political activist whose motto is "Let a thousand transmitters bloom." His Internet Web site says the station is "part of an ever-growing micropower broadcasting movement to liberate the airwaves and break the corporate broadcast media's stranglehold on the free flow of news, information, ideas, cultural and artistic creativity." 

He has sold hundreds of inexpensive kits that let fellow radiorebels transmit in a radius of five to 15 miles. Dunifer and his colleagues say the tens of thousands of dollars needed for a license application, and the hundreds of thousands needed to open a station, excludes all but the rich. 

Back the FCC got mad . . .
