Fort Collins Youth Broadcasting

In bullet summary form, here’s what’s been happening:

• Elizabeth and I attempted making a business plan yesterday.  I’m not sure if it is one or not.
• Elizabeth criticized how much I write.
• We’re looking at getting studio space in the Oak Street Plaza, Professional Bldg.  149 W Oak.
• My parents donated $500.
• I contacted David Graff at Jostens to see if they’d be willing to sponsor us.
• We’ve projected our Internet-radio operating costs to be about $6,000/year.
• We’ve e-mailed EMF Broadcasting to see if they’ll negotiate their KLHV to move from 88.3 to 88.1 so we can get on 88.5.
• We’ve projected that getting on FM will cost about $100,000.  $50,000 for land, and the rest is other stuff.
• We got a MySpace.
• Our call sign has a meaning: Kangaroo Zombies from Canada; or KZ Fort Collins, whichever you like.
• KZFC will most likely be our call sign just because Grethe gave it a killer meaning.
• If KLHV does move to 88.1, we’ll operate on 88.5 broadcasting from Nunn, licensed to Fort Collins, broadcasting at 40 kilowatts from 70 meters above the ground.  Nice round numbers 🙂
• I LOVE Africa by Toto.  Haha.  And so does Lucinda.
• Grethe still wants to run her show.
• Lucinda and Bri might be running a show.
• We’re working on getting LogMeIn Rescue for people who can’t seem to get their players working.
• PayPal approved us to solicit donations.
• I’m almost done with our 501(c)(3) application.  We’ll be sending that in on Monday, most likely, along with a nice $300 check.
• We’re also looking into running a mountain translator on some frequency to cover Red Feather Lakes and Glacier View.  It might run on 88.5 as well, but we still have to figure all that out.
