> for the last 24 years. He got his start in pirate radio as an audio
> collage

> co-found FSR, Free Seattle Radio 87.9.

> of the
> WTO protests of 1999, he played the pivotal role in starting 'Studio
> X' an
> Internet Radio Station, capable of streaming audio to remotely located
> microFM transmitters. Jonathan also developed the net.radio component
> of the
> Indymedia.org's live tactical audio reports of events from the streets
> of
> Seattle. Jonathan also started MicroRadio.NET, a website focused on
> collaborations between 'webcasters' with traditional 'terrestrial' FM
> broadcasting micro radio stations around the world.

> Recently, building upon the success of earlier distribution efforts,
> including a distributed mass action of electronic civil disobedience
> in fall
> of 2002 during the National Association of Broadcasters annual meeting
> taking place in Seattle where more than10 frequencies up and down the
> FM
> dial were temporarily 'occupied' .
>
> Currently Jonathan is working to develop a model of networked
> micro-transmitter arrays that could provide city-wide coverage to
> dozens of
> neighborhoods on unused or 'open' frequencies on the local FM.
