Hi Stuart, 

Since you are the Election Czar, I thought I'd direct my question to you: Because I hosted my show as a volunteer programmer from January thru June this year, am I a KZYX member? I also put in volunteer hours as a KZYX Board member. That's enough volunteer hours for membership status, correct? 

Please confirm. I ask, because I want to be able to vote in the upcoming election, but I prefer not to contribute any money towards the station at this point until there is a change in management (Coate and Aigner). 

Thank you. 

John Sakowicz

Here's the text of the letter to KZYX I wrapped around my check: 

KZYX&Z, P.O. Box 1, Philo, CA 95466 

Mary and John and money-changing staff, accept this check for $25 for a 
Simple Living Membership. 

I had to force myself to send this money, because I so don't have it to 
throw around and so don't want to reward you*, but I want to have a 
voice and a vote on the direction KZYX goes, and apparently this is the 
only way, even though you've got literally millions of tax dollars in 
grants over the last 25 years, so... 

It's coming up on three years since I offered my show to you 
--description, long good history, letters of reference, letters to your 
Program Advisory Committee (which I found out a year later doesn't even 
exist), 15 years of samples, jumped through all your hoops, continued 
email contact and updating, and you've taken zero steps to put Memo of 
the Air: Good Night Radio on KZYX. Given my safe and wonderful and 
good-natured track record in teaching and publishing and radio I 
consider it to be a measure of your incompetence that my show was not on 
KZYX within six months. That would have been late summer of 2012. 

*Two thousand (2000) (!) regular $50 memberships don't add up to what 
KZYX management scarfs up in personal pay, where none of the people 
actually doing the work of radio are paid a cent, nor even allowed 
autonomy in the content and operation of their own shows. That's one of 
the things that I'm going to vote to change. 

Happy new year. 

Marco McClean, box 1497, Mendocino, CA 95460
