Title: Attn Ops: Looking for a relay
Post by: Lima Indigo on November 16, 2010, 2120 UTC
Suppose a person had 17 minutes of pirate-radio-type programming produced and ready to air.  Where might that person find a broadcaster for that program?  The Grapevine at the FRN seems like an obvious answer, but they are not currently taking new registrations, so I cannot inquire there.

I would appreciate hearing from any free radio broadcasters who might be interested in a free program, or from anyone with ideas on how to get in touch with station operators.  Can also provide more info about the program, e.g. it is rodent/monkey neutral.

If you are willing to pay a few $ you can always air it on WBCQ.  ((They could use some more creative programming to break up the preachers).

WBNY will relay programs, apparently for free. He posts this offer periodically on the FRN, and, in fact, posted it today. To wit:

Ape-humans looking for a relay, need only to write to Commander Bunny at: [email protected] and we'll work something out!
This offer is always open to anyone who has a program but no transmitter. You will need to make the program, put it in mp3 format, send it Commander Bunny and send him a QSL of your station to the P.O. Box 1, Belfast, NY 14711 address.

By the way, tell him "Al Fansome sent me". That's sure to get you prompt and premium service! The Commander and I are buddies going way back...

Are you the same Al Fansom that won Radio Bingo that one time?

Thanks for the tip, I'll get ahold of President Commander Bunny right away.

Just out of curiousity, how little is "Few" just to ballpark this...?

Yes, that was me. I won just that once, and I have admit that the fix was in...

And, hey, he's NOT president yet!
