Tree radio Berkeley at the Oaks

by tristan
Berkeley liberation Radio at 104.1 is now transmitting from the Oak Grove.

Some time ago Berkeley Liberation radio lost its home and was off the air. At the same time the ground camp for the Oak Grove became a 24 hour a day gathering point. Some inventive activists set up the radio at the ground camp. It transmits 24 hours a day but plays only music or Freak radio Santa Cruz's broadcast when no live person can be there. Feel free to stop by and get on the air. Bring a rant or a story to tell or read or what have you. We also need people to pedal the bike that runs the power for the station.

Always try to help save the Oaks!
