I wish you all the best in working toward what you wish to accomplish. Wondering if that AM wire approach for antenna would necessitate a specfic separate location (although recognizing the age-o-equipment may well be another barrier) and pleased to see announcement that you're available online already (yea, internet!), I wish you well. Not a listener, still glad the station exists, for having been a long-time underground radio listener in the 70s, I pretty much stopped listening to the radio back when FM radio became AM radio in its succumbing to commercialism, lack of independent voice, and aiming for MOR appeal. Which I figure is much of FRSC's reason-de-existence; I personally spend my time elsewhere (not a dis--merely a statement). So, having previously expressed my support when the Santa Cruz City Council adopted a resolution in support of FRSC some time ago when the station was threatened by the FCC, decided to express again here,

RE dj danielssan's "don't be provoked (I'm making this my mantra, so that I won't respond to..."

Interesting that then immediately below comment at length and from tone seem so very provoked by "Pathetic's" comments, which were not nearly so inflammatory and were at least attempting to be constructive... could it be because they were aimed at the radio station itself rather than being a general, myopic comment? While I,too, found Pathetic's tone could have been kinder, I found dj's own comments altogether too ironic in light of what you, yourself had just said, and in the paragraph directly above. Ah, the glass houses we all live in, and understanding you're so very stressed, wish you well, and hope that your mantra serves you so that you can spare yourself the stress of reacting to the slings-and-arrows not just of outrageous fortune but of the altogether human foibles of myself and others who will couch things in the voice that we will, just as we all choose how to react to what we hear, read, experience. Be well and good luck with all that's ahead for you all.
