It looks like we'd need FCC forms 318 and 319. Is that correct? Also, if our Northwoods community lost its only LPFM station within range to budget cuts and that license expired in 2020, does that help make the case for another LPFM station? And would the former station's frequency be available to us? Thank you, Parker On Mon, Dec 11, 2023 at 4:29?PM Michael D.

We received an extension from CRTC to be 'on air' by September 1, 2024. We have been approved for a 600 watt transmitter and the tower we have available can only hold a 2-bay antenna. We have all necessary equipment to go on air except the transmitter, antenna and necessary wires and cables. We have limited resources and are in the process of beginning a fundraising campaign in January 2024. The purpose of this email is to ask if anyone has a transmitter and/or antenna who would be prepared to sell or donate to us. If you know someone who has the equipment and is not using it anymore, please let me know and I will follow up. For more information about us go to VERNON COMMUNITY RADIO SOCIETY. You can also listen to us on ValleyFM.ca Thank-you Garry Molitwenik Secretary Garry.Molitwenik at gmail.com Virus-free.www.avast.com <#m_134502468969413781_DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> -- This is a discussion-based list, if you wish to join the no-discussion list, please contact barry at ncra.ca We ask that each station have at least one member on either this list or noreply-list at ncra.ca list.
