[Imc-radio] Happy Holidays from the FCC

[Mike Lehman]

I found out today that the FCC has granted a Construction Permit to 
Socialist Forum to construct a Low Power FM station on 104.5 Mhz in 
Urbana. Our reception area will include all of Urbana, most of 
Champaign, and a lot of cornfields beyond.

We have until June 19, 2005 to get the station on the air. This will 
require some fundraising, as it will cost us somewhere around $10,000 to 
build it. The UC IMC is already working on grant applications to help 
with this. The IMC will be our partner in operating the station, but SF 
will remain the licensee.

There will be more to follow. Those interested in working on the station 
can contact me, the IMC (next meeting Jan. 8, 8pm), or SF (next meeting 
Jan. 17, 3-5pm.) All meetings are at the IMC.
