Nice work, Scott. 

Support your local public radio station. Support KMEC Radio 105.1 FM. We'll give you seven (7) good reasons: 

1. At KMEC, we get the greatest guests speaking to today's most important issues. On my show, for example, guests have included ambassadors, members of Congress, and senior people from the U.S. military, federal law enforcement, and spy agencies. We've also had a Noble Peace Prize laureate, and many Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists, Academy Award recipients for documentary film-making, and Emmy Award-winning recipients from PBS and other investigative news media. 

2. At KMEC, we make the best use of technology. For example, we archive our shows forever. Our shows are also available as podcasts. Meanwhile, at KZYX, their program archive system known as "Jukebox" purges shows after only a few weeks. 

3. At KMEC, as small as our broadcast range is as a low-power station, we have a very big audience. How? It's all digital. We make the best use of our digital platforms. At KMEC, we send many of our shows for wide distribution to the Public Radio Exchange and to Radio4All. 

4. At KMEC, we make the best use of social media. Shows can also have their own Youtube channel. For example, my show has over 37,000 subscribers. 

5. At KMEC, we make the best use of equipment. Soon, we will be moving out antenna from the roof of our building on Stanley Street in downtown Ukiah to the top of Cow Mountain. Our signal is also crystal clear, unlike KZYX which has frequent dead air, fuzz outs, and irritating static because of Korean War-era equipment. 

6. At KMEC, we're all volunteer. Our annual budget is less than $20,000. Meanwhile, KZYX's bloated budget is over $550,000, and much of that goes to salaries, most of which are not disclosed. 

7. At KMEC, we do what we do because we love doing it. We're passionate. We're activists. We're allowed to be activists. All of us. And everything we do is on behalf of peace and social justice at the Mendocino Environmental Center, of which we are an important part. 

Please support KMEC by going to the following link: http://www.kmecradio.org/donate/ 

At KMEC at the Mendocino Environmental Center, we're your community radio station. We're your community. 

Thank you.

After beating my head against the wall for some time, I've finally come to realize two things: (1) KZYX's Meg Courtney has a peculiar inability to follow written policy, and (2) her fellow board members are spineless. This is apparent in KZYX's written policy titled, "MCPB Financial Management & Controls" that used to be posted on the KZYX website, but is now blocked from public access. 





So I've put together a nine-pager demonstrating this epiphany with large type, photographs, charts and comic book illustrations. Support your local public radio station by demanding the removal of Meg Courtney and her spineless fellow board members. 




Please forgive my fragmentary composition:
