what makes you think you speak for what LPFM operators want? Some of us like the idea of LPFM because it adds diversity in a radio landscape that almost totally lacks it. Spouting off racist epithets hardly seems to fit into my understanding of LPFM licensing which peripherally suggests that the community forms mechanisms and procedures to deal with conflicts on thier own - not start wars over the fence by calling people racist names. There's people out there mate who don't like the idea of the GURL / LPFM much and they'll use this type of rubbish as just more fodder in their cannon for removing your privilege all-together to broadcast on LPFM, start charging you a yearly fee to be more closely monitored by them, or basically just poke thier govt regulatory noses into your wee west auckland rock station.

One thing I do agree with is that yes, you should go deal with it rather than just move frequencies (i'd probably suggest that dealing with it doesn't include calling them an offensive racist name .. .but that's up to you.) There must be someone in your community who knows something about the who, what, and where of this broadcast, someone who could listen in for a station ID or something. At the least he needs to know that he's broadcasting over the top of you and then you go from there.
