Frustrated by the sameness of commercial radio, Sue Carpenter constructed a 40‑watt FM transmitter in 1995 and operated it from her Los Angeles apartment. She took advantage of a legal loophole that temporarily permitted hundreds of low‑power, technically illegal stations to spring up across the United States, using her pirate outlet to broadcast music and commentary outside the mainstream.
