6/11/13 Due to some difficulties with
a now-former provider, the host of our audio streams has been busy
trying to regroup and save his business. As soon as he is able, we will
work to get the streams back on line with a new URL that is already in
place. Thanks for your patience.
Also, I am pleased to announce that the micro FM signals at 97.9 and
95.1 were restored to their original coverages a couple of weeks ago
thanks to new transmitters. Tweaking of the antenna for 97.9 is a
project that has been on my "to-do" list since the frequency change
last fall. A further (very) slight improvement in coverage should occur
once it is completed. If you would like to donate to our transmitter
fund, you may do so here.
As for plans for the stations, I have decided for a number of reasons
that the two editions of Liberty & Justice should once again
be combined to a single service, with one AM and one FM
frequency, billed as "The Mulpus Brook Talk Alternative." First and
foremost is my increasing lack of time, combined with the demise of
Oracle Broadcasting, leaving one less service to choose from when
filling two schedules. The reworked station will offer the best of the
best and emphasizes the issues of agreement among progressives,
democratic socialists, non-violent anarchists, and populist
libertarians, especially concerning economic justice, health freedom,
and official transparency... and of course, it will be totally
anti-corporate! The 87.5 frequency will likely be dropped. Just when
the FM dial should be expanding downward from 88.1, more and more
manufacturers are starting their FM dials at 87.9, especially with OEM
equipment in cars. So fewer receivers are able to tune the frequency.
The signal at 95.1, however, should be slightly enhanced because my
plans call for greatly reducing the length of its transmission line.
Now... to find the time to do all the work this recombining project
involves!
By the way, 102.9 is also back on the air broadcasting local NOAA
weather most of the time, but also available for special events at any time (such as the anti-Monsanto protests that occured on Memorial Day weekend).
