From November 23, to December 4, 1998, Free Radio activists  conducted a non-stop broadcast atop a tree in  Central Berkeley to demand an end to the string of micropower radio station closures and harassment by FCC officials.

So far has been great; the two activists have been broadcasting 50' up in a tree since 2 PM on Monday. There has been much media attention, and its only increasing with time.  The FCC came out today and tried to serve them with a Notice of Stop It, but could not deliver it because they couldn't reach that high.

They left, promising they'd return with federal marshals and show us who's who. There's been tons of community support; people stop by and cheer them on. The activists have no plans to come down, and they are supported by a large ground crew. Stay tuned for further news!

Radio DJ's have changed twice . Good  job. Birdman and Sparrow, and Egggplant and Avalanche.! Ground support keeps 
growing as does people willing to climb that tree. People come by with moneyv and food. Someone came by with a new car battery. Batteries car, cell phone and equipment are the  biggest expense. What started as a media stunt may be the then next big thing in Free radio. When they attack you on the ground, go up  a tree. 

Side Note: For those of you old enough to know: Willard Park (where the treesit is) is 2-3 blocks south of People's Park, and in the 60's was known as Ho Chi Minh Park. Here in Ecotopia we take our parks and trees seriously.
