Sometimes it's best to
let people speak for themselves. We'll begin with cuts from interviews
done with a handful of Mosquito Fleet participants; it was hard to catch
people flitting back and forth between transmitters, and some people don't
want any publicity. Sincere thanks to everyone who shared thoughts and
feelings.
All audio is available
in MP3 format unless otherwise indicated.

Disruption helped build the
gear that got Free Radio Twin Cities and The Wireless Virus on the
air. He's also the assembler of one of the best primers
on microbroadcasting available. He was invaluable as a member
of the technical crew that kept the Fleet afloat and on the air, creating
magic with improv engineering.

Reckless was
instrumental in keeping Free Radio Austin alive during its long dance
with the FCC. An organizer at heart and not to be messed with, she
(along with members of the FRA crew) helped get parties started on
96.9 and 89.1, and may have had a hand in operations on 104.1 as well.

 Jonathan
Jay did most of the background work in preparation
for the Mosquito Fleet's arrival - selecting open frequencies, finding
broadcast locations and evangelizing on behalf of microradio activists.
He prepped the battlefield for the Fleet's tactical occupation of
the Seattle FM dial and did lots of installation work in the field.
