Greetings "wireless.radio"
I have had some dialogue on this subject over many long months. The
situation is just as David suggests. What happens will happen when it
is Safe to happen. What we need to do is ensure we are ready and able
to provide an efficient LPFM service when required. I suggest each of
us should capitalise on the fact of being the only true local radio
station in our communities when disasters strike. Taking into account
our common experiance of the past week it is clear the so called "BIG"
stations let local audiances down. Networks fed from a remote point
failed to connect with and communicate local information to the public.
In the name of "Entertainment" the networks let the local pblic down.
Where was "Public Service Radio"? Many LPFM stations were the true
voice in their community. This is why we need loud, efficent sound and
an urgent power increase.
Cheers
Allen
