RADIO STATION BARNRAISING: RADIO FREE URBANA, WRFU-LP!
Champaign-Urbana, Illinois
November 11-13, 2005
Join the Urbana Champaign Independent Media Center, Champaign Urbana Wireless and Prometheus for another hair-raising spine-tingling electrically-charged weekend radio project! Jump in with hundreds of volunteers from around the country as we come together to build a new radio station from microphone to antenna in three headlong days. This barnraising will also be the grand opening of the new IMC space—the downtown post office--which was purchased by the IMC last May.
No longer content to engage & enthrall scores of volunteers with a plain old radio barnraising, Prometheus and the UCIMC take the mammoth task of building a radio station over the course of a singe weekend in stride. This time, we're not stopping at the FM AIRWAVES; we're setting our sights on freeing the whole SPECTRUM for use by democratic communications as we look to the future of radio! This barnraising round, we'll also build out the Champaign Urbana wireless network. CUWin is a pioneering leader in community broadband services. While some of us construct the studio & raise the antenna to get WRFU on the air, others will set up access points to expand this open source community wireless network!
Dozens of radio workshops and station building will take place at the sparkling new IMC space in Urbana's former Post Office Building.
Radio Free Urbana, WRFU-LP, 104.5 FM will be born on Sunday, November 13th! All skill levels encouraged, from engineer to nowhere near, and no one will be turned away for lack of funds!
You Be There! We'll Be There!
for info or to register, visit www.prometheusradio.org
Registration is $125 for the full weekend, all meals included (coming straight from local farmers who support local radio! RFU folks are canning fruits of the harvest as we speak!)
Free housing available if you register by November 1 and are not too fussy about where you lay your head. Download, print, and distribute the barnraising flyer:

Discounted and other slashed rates available, so no excuses!
we have phones too! (215) 727-9620 or email anthony-AT-prometheusradio.org
