They, and UC-IMC are hosting a Zoom-based dance party / fundraiser tomorrow evening, 10th February (links below). If you are so inclined, and in a position to offer support, donations are welcome at:

Hope you can join us!   And encourage people to donate something in
support of WRFU if they can.
 
 
Why do this?   Because, *this last week, we ordered a replacement for
the broken WRFU transmitter. *  The new one, made by Ecreso, will be
here toward late February.   The new transmitter will be (we trust) more
reliable than the Nicom one we've had - it comes recommended by Petri
Dish,  who was key in setting up this station and lots of others.
 
The new transmitter cost around $3300, which is equal to a year's budget
for everything else the station does.  The IMC has generously fronted
the money, but if we can more or less pay them back over time through
fundraising, that'll be a good thing.
 
Thanks to DJ BJ  Clark and Miriam for putting together this fundraiser!
