For a project.
Everybody involved with RASD had handles instead of names, a practice passed down from the primary members' time with Free Radio San Diego (Bob Ugly had given them the boot for an alleged takeover attempt).
Primary? members (by time in)
"lotus" (stylized "lotu5" in fake leetspeak): Mika (formerly Michael) Cardenes [sic?], now a professor at some college. Hated my guts.
"Kat": Girlfriend of M. Cardenes. Actual name unknown, hated my guts.
"Onto the Ontologist": Jake [insert name here]. I knew his last name and forgot it. Was also the second tech guy after lotus.
Secondary? members (joined after RASD started)
"djette aporetics": Ashley Lukens, who now runs a promotional/think tank business in Hawai'i and is a Ph.D. May have been a primary member, was a friend of Kat's. Was probably doing her Masters at UCSD at that time. Like Kat, hated my guts.
"Al Uh Looyah": Allen M. Conrad, limo driver. Was hosting the 100 watt mono transmitter that transmitted on 106.9 FM ("Teenage Mutant Ninja Radio") at his house in Encanto. Found his name by searching the FCC "notice of apparent liability" letter (aka "the $10,000 threat letter") pages.

Doomed schmucks
That Black Guy: Did one show with Onto, played Michael Jackson songs, was booted after a rain-soaked meeting in the trailer for using anti-gay slurs and other verbiage on-air. I wanted to keep him and teach him, the group booted him.
Your Humble Narrator
God-Kings of Radio
That Guy Who Had Lived in Italy, Spoke An Italian Dialect Fluently, And Was A Punk: I can't remember his name or his handle, but he was a decent person.
"Bazooka Joe": Michael Aleo, and I feel sorry for naming him here. Was working with FRSD, did stuff with RASD when FRSD was raided by the FCC and had to relocate. Still doing radio last I checked.
