(click for a larger picture) What's Different About This Station?Quite frequently, air time is very expensive, even in regions where the population is low. Our primary goal is to make air time very affordable to churches, pregnancy centers, shelters and other Christian groups that couldn't otherwise use radio as an outreach. By utilizing an all volunteer engineering oversight board, coupled with other local volunteers and part time staff, we can keep our overhead very low and pass those savings on to other organizations in the community. We also provide low cost copy-writing and editing, along with free mentoring to help the Christian community more effectively reach the people around them. If you share our vision, we encourage to you check out how You Can Make A Difference. We are beginning construction on this project in early-mid 2010, and with your help, we can enable Churches, pregnancy centers, shelters and other Christian groups to reach this region cheaply and effectively. Project StatusWe have successfully raised our power level to 17kW, and have begun to place equipment orders and finalize leases. We anticipate starting construction in early-mid 2010.
