...And then by Saturday night the recording will be up at

Deadline to email your writing for tonight's (Friday night's) live MOTA 
show is about 7pm. If that's too hard, send it whenever it's done and 
I'll read it on the show next week. There's always a next week.

Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio is every Friday, 9pm to 5am on 107.7fm 
KNYO-LP Fort Bragg and there and everywhere else via KNYO.org. Also the 
schedule is at KNYO.org for KNYO's many other even more terrific shows.

Now the bad news: KNYO's tower, a 70-foot tree with the antenna at the 
top, blew down in the recent storm. It fell right over; luckily it 
didn't fall on the transmitter trailer. It will be hard to fix this 
properly, but Bob Young and crew have got the antenna back up in the 
air, just not any 70 feet up in the air, more like fifteen feet, and the 
signal will not go anywhere near as far or as well.

Management is leaning toward moving the transmitter down into town, like 
most small-town low-power FM stations do it. That will need FCC 
permission, which will take time.

KNYO runs on about $12,000 a year. The expense of getting things where 
they belong and back up to full low-power will add thousands to that 
this year. If you've been on the fence about helping real local radio 
with some money, now might be when to get off the fence and send the 
actual money. There's a donation heart at KNYO. Poke it and see what 
happens inside you, like when you go to the dog pound just to look, not 
expecting to commit, but of course you fall in love and come home with a 
puppy, and your life is so much better because you did a good thing. 
Unlike the other radio stations around here, every penny you give to 
KNYO goes to the station's plant and operation and necessary fees. None 
of it goes to owners and/or managers.

Furthermore, any day or night you can go to 
https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com and hear my last week's MOTA show. By 
Saturday night I'll put the recording of tonight's show there. And 
besides all that, there you'll find a pleasantly cloying soup of 
educational material to slurp up until showtime, or any time, such as:

This is how Sarah Vaughan sounded when she had a /cold/.
