Turning the dial

A few Friday radio items:

* Watch a video presentation by Adam Greenfield, author of Everyware, a book about the potential of a world dominated by RFIDs (radio frequency IDs) and other tracing technology here.

* Check out this flicker set of photos of vintage BBC radio equipment here.

* From DIYmedia: "The FCC is soliciting comment on rules to govern an upcoming auction of 124 full-power FM station construction permits around the country. These channels are on the commercial portion of the FM dial; the action is set to commence on March 7."

* Radio propagandist Iva Ikuko Toguri (aka Tokyo Rose) died the other day. WFMU's blog has an excellent obituary here.

* In Florida, the sheriff busts the "pirates," not the Feds.

* The Radio Transmission Orchestra (RTO) invites you to bring tuneable FM radios at 6 p.m. Sunday to join in at Cold Storage, 1168 E 5th St, in Los Angeles.
