Is it Micro-power or Micropower? I've seen it both ways... besides this article. ParkingStones 16:35, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Regarding the following verbiage in the article:
First, I assume that the phrase "They were eventually acquitted" refers to some or all of the people at Free Radio Berkeley, presumably including Stephen Dunifer. The term "acquitted" is a criminal law term, so I assume this is referring to a criminal trial in which various people were acquitted (found not guilty) of something. The verbiage then goes on to say: "marking a major victory of micropower radio." I'm not sure what the writer intended, but as it is now written it's like saying that when someone is acquitted of a charge of murder, it's a victory for "people charged with murder." I suppose that could be a fair statement in some general sense, but the article is just too vague.
Who exactly was charged, and what were they charged with? Exactly why does an acquittal in a criminal trial mark "a major victory for micropower radio"? And if there was a "victory," then why did "FRB eventually stop broadcasting? Was it just so the operators of FRB could turn their resources to development of the new technology? Or were they forced to stop by the FCC in a civil or administrative action (which would be separate from the criminal proceeding the article, as currently written, implies).
In short, this article as written raises more questions than it answers. Also, as written it sounds a bit POV-ish, and needs some more sourcing. Anybody have any sourcing or additional information? Yours, Famspear 03:46, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
