                <div>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?</div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>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<em> and</em>
                  Aigner).</div>

                  </div>
                  Here's the text of the letter to KZYX I wrapped around
                  my check:<br>
                  <div><br>
                  </div>
                  KZYX&amp;Z, P.O. Box 1, Philo, CA 95466<br>
                  <div><br>
                  </div>
                  Mary and John and money-changing staff, accept this
                  check for $25 for a <br>
                  Simple Living Membership.<br>
                  <div><br>
                  </div>
                  I had to force myself to send this money, because I so
                  don't have it to <br>
                  throw around and so don't want to reward you*, but I
                  want to have a <br>
                  voice and a vote on the direction KZYX goes, and
                  apparently this is the <br>
                  only way, even though you've got literally millions of
                  tax dollars in <br>
                  grants over the last 25 years, so...<br>
                  <div><br>
                  </div>
                  It's coming up on three years since I offered my show
                  to you <br>
                  --description, long good history, letters of
                  reference, letters to your <br>
                  Program Advisory Committee (which I found out a year
                  later doesn't even <br>
                  exist), 15 years of samples, jumped through all your
                  hoops, continued <br>
                  email contact and updating, and you've taken zero
                  steps to put Memo of <br>
                  the Air: Good Night Radio on KZYX. Given my safe and
                  wonderful and <br>
                  good-natured track record in teaching and publishing
                  and radio I <br>
                  consider it to be a measure of your incompetence that
                  my show was not on <br>
                  KZYX within six months. That would have been late
                  summer of 2012.<br>
                  <div><br>
                  </div>
                  *Two thousand (2000) (!) regular $50 memberships don't
                  add up to what <br>
                  KZYX management scarfs up in personal pay, where none
                  of the people <br>
                  actually doing the work of radio are paid a cent, nor
                  even allowed <br>
                  autonomy in the content and operation of their own
                  shows. That's one of <br>
                  the things that I'm going to vote to change.<br>
