I love the scope and humanity of your thinking, BC! A CAB for each district. A real vision. 

And thanks the overview of the coverage by community radio stations in each district. Useful details, which give meaning to your words  "to focus on the task of bringing ourselves into more joyous community."

Seems like you must have thought about this before. My impossible dream is that this list will nurture such ideas.

P.S. Nonetheless, I hope we get in touch with the folks in the current Community Advisory Board, the only one we have at the moment. More in a separate post. --kc

The CABS would arrange around the 5 districts and over to lower Humboldt and Lake.
District 5 gets good reception from the main transmitter and gets KPFA, Gualala and a fair JPR. 
District 4 has their local repeater and a low power in Noyo harbor plus JPR.  Ukiah has
KZYZ and KMEC with 2 districts and should include western Lake county with their CPR effort. 
Willits has KZYZ and JPR and KMUD.  The list of facilities goes on but the need for 
non-competitive public radio is with us regionally, 

I mention all  of these efforts because the purpose of CPR, as I understand it is to provide an 
effective means for facilitating our safety and evolution as community bodies.  Up to this time 
it has been a real struggle to maintain broadcast facilities and consistent programming.  We 
are ready to evolve our model and actively join in a joyous reformation of thought and spirit.     

This is a suggestion that will change the energy that infects our regional communications, 
reduces the costs for those communications and lets us focus on the task of bringing ourselves 
into more joyous community.   ~BC
