Tune Your Own Signal
LICENSING DIVISION · PIRATE STATION AMNESTY PROGRAM · SUMMER SESSION, LAS VEGAS
The Authority does not jam pirate stations. The Authority licenses them. Any operator may petition for a channel of record by completing a licensing review from the case files below. Each review, correctly concluded, yields exactly one channel — a frequency of the form NNN.N. That channel is yours. Tune it and transmit.
Reviews are graded by class, I through IV. Class I reviews require only wit. Higher classes require tooling, patience, and in certain cases the licensed apparatus itself on your bench — or another operator entirely. The Authority confirms nothing in writing: the receiver is the examiner. A correct channel unlocks the programming it licenses. An incorrect channel yields static, as it should.
RECEIVER OPERATION: 1. Hold MODE ........... MASTER CONTROL panel 2. CH− then MODE ....... CASE FILES (the docket) 3. Press MODE again .... FREQUENCY TUNER (the dial) 4. CH+/CH− spin digit .. short MODE hops to the next 5. Hold MODE ........... channel commits
NOTE WELL: the Authority licenses the full band, 001.0 through 999.9 — channels of record fall anywhere on the dial. And the Authority honors conduct: certain licenses are granted not for what you dial, but for how you surf. The set is always watching.
