After getting word that Houston had the go ahead to install a radio station, a radio kit was driven to the Houston Astrodome on Sunday and set up on Monday. Here are some images of it being set up and broadcasting live within a three mile radius. The station is permitted thru efforts of the Prometheus Radio Project, Houston Indymedia and other local activists. Broadcasting will be live and non-stop until all the evacuees have gotten housing and services.
