From gm at artxfm.com Fri Mar 1 07:14:57 2024 From: gm at artxfm.com (Sharon Scott) Date: Fri, 01 Mar 2024 10:14:57 -0500 Subject: [grc] 2024 HOST STATION APPLICATION! Message-ID: <26e4b7015aaa95cd881523a4abd3b2f4@artxfm.com> The GRASSROOTS RADIO CONFERENCE is unlike any other event in the world! It is an annual gathering where members of college and community radio stations can come together in commaradarie to share ideas, technology, and resources. APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN FOR 2024 GRASSROOTS RADIO CONFERENCE HOSTS! https://forms.gle/LadBsLhw5WVmji8K8 Traditionally, the Grassroots Radio Conference is hosted by a different college or community radio station in a new part of the country each year. This allows the community radio world to travel to a unique destination and get a peak behind the scenes of a different radio set up each year. But not always. Decidedly freeform and anti-authoritarian each year's conference takes on an identity that reflects the unique character of the hosting station. The event has taken place in the fall recently but used to be in the summer. It will be up to the host station to determine when the conference takes place. Any community or college radio station is welcome to apply but they will need to provide classrooms for the conference sessions and a large assembly area for main events. The conference should be easy to attend and accommodations should be available in the area. When the host station is selected, they get $1500 seed money and the beautiful GRC Quilt. Once the conference is over, the station passes along those items to the next host station but can keep any additional revenue. This is a a great team builder for your staff as well as a great way to bring some local support and national attention to your station. The senior members of the GRC community can offer as much -- or as little -- help and advice as you want in the organization of the conference but you will steer the ship as it is always beautiful to see how each station makes it their own! 2024 should be a big year for the conference since there will be so many new LPFM stations waiting to happen! If your station is interested in hosting the 2024 Grassroots Radio Conference please complete the form below before the GRC Monthly Meet-Up on MARCH 26th at 8 PM ET / 5 PM CT. Interested applicants are invited to make their pitch to the GRC Community at this virtual meeting. Thank you for your interest in hosting this important community radio event!

In-Reply-To: <26e4b7015aaa95cd881523a4abd3b2f4@artxfm.com> References: <26e4b7015aaa95cd881523a4abd3b2f4@artxfm.com> Message-ID: <20240305141241.6cc5d151@z> Thank you for taking the lead on this. I feel compelled to request compliance with some well established traditions of the conference regarding the process of recruiting and selection of the conference host. If your station is considering hosting the conference, the traditional application procedure is to announce your offer to the public. One place to do this is at the closing meeting of the conference, but that has passed so the other way to do this is to announce on this email list. Your announcement on this list, not an application sent to any committee or individual, is considered to be the proper way to indicate your offer to host. Before you do this, it is recommended that you contact an "elder of the conference", someone who has had a major role in putting on the conference, in the past. You can make this contact any way you want. In this conversation we can discuss what it is like, what you need, and what you can expect. It's a friendly chat, not a test. For this, you can contact me by email, as I have played a major role in putting on the conference. You can also contact anyone else. With this in mind, I am requesting now that anyone else who has such experience putting on the conference who wants to help a future host to please reply to this email, on this list, to offer your help. Once we have offers to host, acceptance is by public consensus. If there are multiple offers to host, the parties meet and mutually decide what to do. Usually the resolution is something like "we host this year, you host next year". So far, the conference has never outright rejected any offer to host. The "steering committee" does not have the authority to "select" a host, or really any authority at all. To give a committee that authority would be like giving a board of elections authority to choose the winner. The role of a "steering committee" here would be to solicit offers, to oversee the process, and to make sure it is fair, friendly, and inclusive. Once it has been established who is the next host, the host has complete freedom regarding how to put on the conference, including who to work with. The conferences are as diverse as the stations, and we like it that way. Lots of help is available, if you want it, from the people who have put on the conference in the past, from future hosts, and from individuals. This can make it possible for even the smallest stations to host. The "seed money" is intended to be used to cover conference expenses that are due before the conference has revenue. It should be used to open a working bank account that is used by the conference for conference expenses and income. Conference money must be kept separate from station money. After the conference is over, the money in the account may be divided. One portion must be passed on to the next conference host as seed money. The other portion is turned over to the host as profit. If the conference lost money, the entire balance must be turned over to the next host, and there is no profit. It is ok, in this case, to pass on less than you got. The seed money fund absorbs the loss, protecting the host station against loss. If the conference makes money, an amount at least equal to the original seed amount must be passed on, and additional funds should be added to the seed, increasing the amount passed on to the next host. The rest can be turned over to the host station, or used in a manner the host organization decides.

GRC 2023 happened because Sharon took the initiative to ask around, and as many of those who attended would agree, it was a great conference even though it was planned in a short timeframe -- props to the folks from WTSQ for making it happen! I don't think at the moment we have 8 million stations volunteering to host GRC 2024, so I doubt that anyone would have much "selection" to do anyhow! As far as involving elders of the GRC, "someone who has had a major role in putting on the conference, in the past," isn't that what the steering committee was trying to achieve by pulling in folks from past conference host stations??? It's honestly exhausting to read all of this back and forth on the list -- that's not the point of this listserv. The point is to support and push forward community radio, which is accomplished by having conferences! Not arguments. I wanted to stay out of this, but I felt compelled to respond because this back and forth needs to stop, and we need to redirect our efforts towards having a conference and supporting whatever station ends up hosting this year.

I like the origin of the GRC. I did not know these details. It makes wonderful sense.What with zoom/google, potential host stations can meet to decide the annual hosting schedule and seek advice and support from former hosts. I like not using the Steering Committee as the section body. The application form has important questions such as available accommodations for 100 or more attendees and vendors. My community has 1 cafe that seats 20 and has to-go, 1 motel with 24 rooms, a 2.5 hr drive from the nearest airfield. We would partner with other Humboldt county stations to co-host on the coast. I believe the thinking process is asking stations to apply by mid March and decide by the last Friday of March to announce the GRC site. I think a deadline to apply is reasonable. The event date would be a decision of the host. Ample time would need to be given for stations to arrange travel away from their daily tasks..

Are you in a spot where you can reach out to Sharon to initiate, Betty? Does someone else wanna lean in? It seems reasonable that as stations gain more capacity to organize themselves, there?s some friction with the committed folks who have been leaning in for a long time to help build infrastructure. Maybe you all can speak directly to what you?d likealign on some shared values? It seems like if you and Sharon can find alignment and park some secondary issues until everyone can discuss at GRC there may be a more peaceful way forward.

I also encourage you to include two bits of info if you post your question on the forum: 1) what operating system you're using (Windows, MacOS, Linux, etc.), and 2) the version of Audacity you're using. (That info would help here too.) Good luck, and please let us know here if you learn the answer elsewhere!

Welcome to the GRC! I'm one of the "list cops" (along with Stephanie Schubert with Pacifica Affiliates Network). while wearing one of my hats, I help stations across the country with Rivendell radio automation and with other IT related tasks. How awesome is it (in a radio nerd sort of way) that you were able to get a call sign that /matches/ your city of license! Very cool! One of my hats has the KFAI, Minneapolis logo on it. We use Rivendell and open source software and hardware as much as possible to integrate all the various systems (including Wheatstone audio over IP studio equipment). I wish you quick success in building the FM station and look forward to meeting you at an upcoming GRC! Again, welcome! ~David Klann On 3/23/24 17:55, Martin A.

They do physical work and networking for fundraising. Best example:? The day we received the CP, the local sports organization dropped off underwriting funding to cover the costs of putting local sports on local radio ( note our obsession with local ! )? One of our youth volunteers had told their parents, who in turn sold the idea to the parents group. Second example:? One of the volunteers works for a major VoIP equipment provider in NJ.? They partnered with our Makerspace to adapt hardware in order to use a donated broadcast ISDN phone system with our VoIP phone service.? The configuration is now a turn-key package for other radio station who were facing the end of ISDN service for radio. Third example (and this is on the finance side) - Once of our volunteers went through the entire donor database and added employers, and if they do matching grants or matching labor hours. Will be on the next Meet-up! Cheers! Martin On 3/24/2024 11:13 AM, Sharon Scott wrote: > > Hi Bruce and welcome Martin!

Organizing our GRC in 2010 was one of the most stimulating KMUD activities ever, and I?m super-interested in hearing from people who are willing to host (thank you in advance for contributing to this network that helps us all carry on). I?ve also read some of the emails about possible ways to improve the way our Coalition organizes itself. It?s tricky but so worthwhile for a ?loose coalition? that spends a GLORIOUSLY LOW amount of time working on the rules it operates by, to create simple, clear understandings that are easily accessed by all involved for reference when needed. I would appreciate a concise reminder about where we stand with all that, if anyone has the energy for it. Otherwise I?ll hope to find time to read more of the recent emails. I just read the Wikipedia page, and had thought there had been an ongoing website established?. ? See what I mean? Out of it! Carry on, stalwarts of GRC and all stations! It?s so worth it.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR SEPTEMBER 26-29th. Dr. MarkAlain D?ry, Liana Elliot, and their team at WHIV 102.3 FM have stepped up to the plate and will share the hosting responsibilites with a consortium of college and community stations in the area including the illustrious Bob Dunn and his crew at WXDR 99.1 FM. Together they are sure to knock out of the park! This location was determined by default and by consensus during the March Virtual GRC Meet-up. It is hard to imagine anywhere better than the Crescent City for a gathering of college and community radio activists -- the music, the energy, the creativity -- all reflect the work we do in radio every single day. The dates for this year's conference are Sept. 26 - 29th. Anyone with an interest in community radio is invited to attend. There are will be tracks for Station Managers, Engineers, and On-Air Talent. This is the only conference of its kind and a unique opportunity to connect with some of the nation's most brilliant radio broadcasters. Full Power, Low Power, and online stations will emerge with information and inspiration to make their local operations more interesting and effective that ever before. The conference location ~ Gallier Hall ~ is conveniently located on St. Charles Ave. near the French Quarter and right on the street car line. A conference hotel across the street is being arranged and we should have further information on a group rate soon. Stay tuned and mark your calendars! Gallier Hall https://gallierhall.com/history/ The hosting the GRC is a big job and collective effort. Anyone wishing to assist with the conference planning and development should please let us know using the form below. We know there is a lot of experience in this group and we'd love to have your help ~ even from afar! GRC Advisory Committee https://forms.gle/Qkxia7akQjTB6apX8 Coming off the heals of an AMAZING conference at WTSQ Charleston, the GRC has gathered some great momentum and this event is sure to set it all aflame! It is exciting to see the GRC coming back to life and imagining where we can take this community radio movement from here! No stoppin' us now!!! See you in New Orleans!

Message-ID: Dear colleagues, First of, thank you for supporting the community radio sector. It is a great pleasure and honor to be a part of the community radio meetings. Every meeting provides so much valuable information! Thank you for doing this. As I mentioned, U Multicultural is a Canadian TV and Radio community broadcaster, and recently we launched the community radio station in Florida. We are currently working on the launching and may need support from the experienced engineer, who could guide us through the process of equipment purchasing and installation. As a community station, we currently don't have much funds to afford expensive engineer, so if you would recommend us more affordable options, it would be greatly appreciated. I also wanted to ask if you are aware of the community radio/media funds, which may help us to start airing. GRC conference in New Orleans is a tremendous opportunity. Again, I'm currently looking for funding to cover travel expenses. If you are aware of funding programs, that would help to cover travel expenses, please let me know. Finally, as a community multimedia which has plans to launch the community TV station in FL, we tried to contact FCC in this matter. It looks like they don't have information on the application process or call announcement. However, while checking our FCC licensing page, I noticed some options in the menu, which allow us to submit the application for the DTV construction permit. The screenshot is attached. Again, we tried to contact the FCC to clarify if there is an opportunity to apply on DTV and they don't have this information. Colleagues, I just wanted to ask you if you know about the DTV construction permit applications call or can clarify why we can see those applications available in the dropdown menu on FCC website if the official announcement hasn't been made by FCC? I understand that my question may be irrelevant, as we are all members of the community radio group, however, still hoping to get some clarify here. Thank you again for all what you do for the community media. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <16814ec0-839b-4dea-8958-fb301a068e85@recnet.com> Applying for a full-service TV station is a rulemaking proceeding as a new channel needs to be added to the able of allotments and then once on there, it will go to auction to allow for competing interests.? It's not as easy as just signing up for a station.??? Also, forget about it in metro areas.? Since all of the repacking, there's only 35 channels now, of those only 23 (the UHF ones) are truly viable. There are additional procedures if the desire is for the channel to be reserved for noncommercial purposes. Low Power TV stations can only be applied for during designated filing windows. Just keep in mind, anytime there is an auction, if a noncommercial applicant is up against a commercial applicant, the commercial applicant will always win.? The way around that is to file as a commercial station and pay all of the auction fees and then convert the station to noncommercial later. We can talk on the phone sometime and I can explain more.? It's way too complicated (and slightly out of scope) for this list. =m *Michelle Bradley, CBT, KU3N* /Founder: REC Networks/ +1 202 621-2355 https://recnet.com facebook.com/recnet - Twitter: @michichan On 3/28/2024 2:42 PM, Taya Rtichsheva via grc wrote: > Dear colleagues, > > First of, thank you for supporting the community radio sector.
