[Rfu-barnraising] Re: {basement} barnraising publicity

[katharan at prometheusradio.org]

I can send this announcement out. I have hannah's mass email instructions,
which I will give a shot--i tried once and it didn't work but my computer
was more fluky then.  before I send this out to stubblefield, grc, and any
other list any one suggests, I want to make sure the reg page is up and
running, so it will not go out until later on today. here is text I will
use unless anyone objects:

RADIO STATION BARNRAISING: RADIO FREE URBANA, WRFU-LP!

Join the Urbana Champaign Independent Media Center and Prometheus for
another hair-raising spine-tingling electrically-charged weekend radio
project!  Jump in with hundreds of volunteers from around the country as
we come together to build a new radio station from microphone to antenna
in three headlong days.

No longer content to engage & enthrall scores of volunteers with a
plain old radio barnraising, Prometheus and the UCIMC take the mammoth
task of building a radio station over the course of a singe weekend in
stride.  This time, we're not stopping at the FM AIRWAVES; we're setting
our sights on freeing the whole SPECTRUM for use by democratic
communications as we look to the future of radio!  This barnraising round,
we'll also build out the Urbana Champaign wireless network, a pioneering
leader in community broadband services.  While some of us construct the
studio & raise the antenna to get WRFU on the air, others will set up
access points to expand  this open source community wireless network!

Dozens of radio workshops and station building will take place at the
sparkling  new IMC space in Urbana's post office.  Radio Free Urbana,
WRFU-LP, 104.5 FM will be born on Sunday, November 13th!  All skill
levels encouraged, from engineer to nowhere near, and no one will be turned
away for lack of funds!

You Be There!  We'll Be There!

Registration is $125 for the full weekend, meals included.
Discounted and other slashed rates available, so no excuses!
