Today’s Run: \u00a010.45 miles<\/p>\n
What a lovely, lovely morning for a run. \u00a0It was 42 F. \u00a0Sunny skies. \u00a0Brisk Northerly wind. \u00a0 The new highway is not yet open for traffic so I took advantage of that fact and “hit the road.” \u00a0It was glorious!!! \u00a0But enough about running. \u00a0I have news!<\/p>\n
My husband and I received approval from the FCC for us to own and operate a low-power FM radio station! \u00a0This has been in the works since last September.<\/p>\n
If you recall, back in September, we began a non-profit agency and I am on the board! \u00a0On the board of a non-profit agency! \u00a0Me! \u00a0How unreal is that!?!<\/p>\n
Our non-profit and radio station is called Classic Book Radio. \u00a0We are a bit concerned about illiteracy here in Mississippi and would like to do something to whet the appetites of youth and adults alike in our community to read! \u00a0Hence, Classic Book Radio was formed.<\/p>\n
We will have readings of classic literature, essays, poetry, children’s classics….Moby Dick, Pride and Prejudiced, Winnie the Pooh, Grimm’s Fairy Tales, an eclectic mixture of literature. \u00a0Hopefully, somebody will listen and get hooked on a story and go to the library and read for his\/herself! \u00a0That is our objective.<\/p>\n
We next need to get a radio call sign. \u00a0We are trying to decide between WRTM and WCMH. \u00a0WRTM stands for W-Read, To, Me. and the other one is our initials put together. \u00a0I do not know if the FCC has a WMFH for W-My Favorite Husband. \u00a0That would be fun, too! \u00a0Then we have 18 months for a building permit.<\/p>\n
The building permit gives us time to procure necessary equipment to operate a radio station. \u00a0We are looking at around $10,000-$15,000 dollars that will need to be scraped together in 18 months. \u00a0Yikes! \u00a0But because we are a non-profit, we can go around and solicit funds from local businesses, etc.<\/p>\n
So, keep your fingers crossed for us. \u00a0The next 18 months are going to be a whirl-wind!<\/p>\n
