<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> It
is said that lightening does not strike twice in the same place, but this adage
has proven untrue in our case. Once again the KFCF transmitter was damaged in
a thunderstorm. This underlines the fact that KFCF is still in serious need of
a backup transmitter to ensure that the station can continue to broadcast when
our existing transmitter needs repair. </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> In
early March, a storm at the transmitter site again caused a power surge that
burned essential parts. While repairs are taking place, we have been forced to
broadcast at reduced power, making it very difficult for listeners in some
areas or in buildings to receive the signal. </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> One
of those bereft KFCF friends is Berry Nishkian of North Fork. Berry is a great station supporter and volunteer pastry chef for our events. One morning
he called the station despairing the loss of Democracy Now! and other favorites,
and announced he wanted to donate $1000 to the transmitter fund and wanted to
challenge others to match it. Are you up to that challenge? With your help we
can finish the job.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> KFCF
has been on the air for over 30 years, and in these politically frightening
times, it is more important than ever that there be an outlet for voices that
can’t be heard in the mainstream media. We are also looking at the fact
that the FCC is considering replacing the current analog signal available to
stations with FM and AM licenses with digital broadcasting that will require
radio stations to replace or upgrade equipment. Our current transmitter is not
compatible with digital broadcasting. With these serious issues in mind, the
foundation’s Board of Directors has decided to purchase a back-up
transmitter that can be converted to digital if and when needed. We need to
accomplish this now so that we are not forced to go off the air when natural
disaster or corporate lobbying threatens our current operation.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> Last
year we began a campaign to raise funds for a new transmitter, over and above
our regular operating costs. So far we have raised $7000 from your generous
donations. We would like to reach a goal of $20,000 to get a state-of-the-art
broadcast transmitter and upgrade our current equipment. This would provide
KFCF with a full backup capacity to continue broadcasting at full power in case
of future emergencies. Please consider a generous contribution for this
purpose. Your contribution is tax deductible and all funds earmarked for a new
transmitter will be used for that purpose.</span></font></p>
