Greetings! Free Radio Oregon Hill is a pirate radio station in Richmond,
VA. It is currently heard at 92.7 FM in the Fan, North Side, and parts of
West End, Southside, Downtown. FROH is on 24 hours, 7 days a week (unlike
WDCE, U of Richmond's college station or WCVW, Virginia Commonwealth
University's cable access station) as long as the cd players are not
malfunctioning and there is not a thunder storm.

A few more quick notes:
FROH is still working on getting computer automated for when the station
lacks live djs. When that happens I will be putting out a call for MP3's of
local music and announcements.
FROH is also still working on getting some repeater transmitters in place
to increase the range.
Buy FROH t-shirts at Plan 9. They are in the Crypt at the Carytown store.
FROH is available for live broadcasts, contact me for more details.
Wired Magazine has a great article on the LPFM fight and FROH's patron
saint, L.D. Brewer, in its new issue.
