www.radioheritage.net February 2 2015
To all our friends First a belated welcome to 2015, and our 10th anniversary! Just before Christmas our website supplier gave us notice that they are closing down operations at the end of February. We either move elsewhere before, or lose all our pages, emails etc.... This was not we wanted to hear at the festive season. So we're prepared with emergency backups, and looking into what new arrangements we can make. The existing web host gave us free hosting, and we can't assume we'll continue for free. Let's try and focus on good news. Have you seen our two editorials so far in 2015? The first is Facebook, the second is Fresh Pacific Faces. They are connected. Have a look at how we're now reaching new audiences....would you believe Fiji and Brazil have entered our Top 10 visitor sources in January! The big news has to be a facelift to our radio guides, and the addition of Hawaii Radio Guide to the collection. Have you seen it yet? Every station, and every location! Check it out next time you're on www.radioheritage.net.. Financially, I think we could do with some help this month...... with the uncertainties about an affordable web host and opportunities to extend our reach to new audiences on Facebook..... We're still down just $128.16 to fully cover the January operational costs...that's a real achievement...thanks all....and there's $1,799.99 coming hard at us for the February costs..and we have these uncertainties for the future free hosting of the website and associated services.....so, if you think you can help us out this month, we'd really welcome your support. We'd like to go into our 10th year with a stronger financial base, as we also have to change our Microsoft hosting to Linux based so we finally bring the new look website to you...at long last....this will be one where you can enter your own photos, comments and audio to be part of the collections...and will be a major shift to fully engaging people in this global project. Remember, the monthly costs are for non-website costs of this project and just keep coming every month for office space, storage, consumables etc as detailed on the website. They are fixed for 5 years at this amount. We're all unpaid volunteers doing our best to protect our radio heritage. For now, enjoy our Hawaii Radio Guide and parts of the refreshed website, and help us get through the moves we must make this month....and we'll continue to honor you on the Supporter Roll with our very grateful thanks.

PPS..one donor has generously now covered the remaining $128.16 for January and another has started a monthly payment schedule - but we've still a long way to go...we could really do with some help this month if you can.
