Hurray indeed!!   One out of six, and you made it!!   Congratulations
everyone! 

Your website looks great, and the benefit event with Zimbabwean music on May
17 makes me wish I lived nearby.  The amazing Thomas Mapfumo has become
known to many KMUD listeners.  Kudos to Banning Eyre for supporting WOWD. 

Marika, you were so awesome at GRC Ames, big hugs to you!  

"Many stones can form an arch, singly none, singly none."   We are a large,
wide network; let's support WOWD and stay connected with this new community
voice in our nation's capital and see what can come of it.

call letters WOWD-LP on 94.3. We started off in an MX of six, so this
outcome is remarkable. Our 2-5 mile coverage area has 100,000 potential
listeners in Washingotn DC, and suburban Maryland.  Our studio will be in
the center of Takoma Park, thanks to Charlie Pilzer of Airshow Mastering,
who is creating a storefront space for us.  Thanks to lawyer Michael
Richards who guided us through the gnarly MX process.  Cartoonist William L
Brown (Citizen Bill) updated our logo with our call letters and frequency.
His original logo - hand-stamped on a t-shirt -  has been our bread and
butter for four years. Check out the new logo at TakomaRadio.org
<http://takomaradio.org/>. We will be a community radio station, offering an
alternative to corporate and closed door radio which is the norm in DC.  We
are training producers (see Sound Map at TakomaRadio.org
<http://takomaradio.org/>)  and will soon train deejays.
