[rfu-automation] Fwd: HOMELESSNESS MARATHON TECHNICAL emergency info

[Andrew Ó Baoill]

This information may prove of use to the Automation group, though the  
broadcast should run without any difficulties - I've already set it up  
on Zara.

If you do notice during the evening that the broadcast is not coming  
through as it should, please check Zara (if you're near the IMC or  
have remote access), or contact me at 217-766-1480 and/or andrew at funferal.org 
.

This is an interesting and positive development for WRFU. We are  
providing a valuable resource to our listeners, we are increasing our  
bonds with our partners in the wider community radio sector, and we  
are demonstrating some of what WRFU is capable of (and was founded to  
provide).
