eloquently points out, volunteering is a powerful way to do

Dear Liz and Ann,<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I agree, of course, that the purpose is not to tear down
what we have built together. Many care for our community
radio station. But what about the way Marco McClean has
been treated? This guy is one of the best on-air radio
personalities in Northern California, and he can't even
get a civil response from Mary. <br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Marco is not the only person who has been mistreated by
the management of KZYX. There are many more. The
mean-spirited atmosphere at the station, especially from
the Program Director, is driving talented people away. It
is killing the station. <br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
What then are we lovers of community radio to do?<br

Marco McClean said to Stuart Campbell:<br clear="none">

> Imagine you weren't on the board of directors, that
you brought your show as a finished proven product to
KZYX, and you waited and waited —waited for years— and
when you asked what progress was being made to put your
show on the schedule you got no answer at all. And when
you wrote to the manager, he told you /he/ wasn't the
program director. And when you asked, "What do I have to
do to get my show on KZYX?" the manager said, "I guess you
have to convince Mary." And when you stopped by the
station to talk about it you were treated as though you
were an unwanted intrusion and told to use the telephone
next time. What would you do then?<br clear="none">
