October 1 2013 As someone interested in radio, you'll know that it sounds different today. The stations you can hear, the personalities, the music. Even the technology is moving from AM to FM and now digital, and shortwave is shutting down across the world.
For almost ten years, we've been collecting, protecting and celebrating memories of radio. We've come a long way, but still have an enormous way to go as precious memories fade away, things get forgotten, lost or destroyed and we work against the clock to collect memorabilia, recordings, magazines, photos and so much more so we can research and publish intelligent and entertaining features and provide useful services for free at www.radioheritage.net. Yesterday, September 30 is half way through our financial year and donations have raised only 62% of our weekly operating expenses. It costs $450 a week to cover these costs but each week we're falling behind by $173. Today, we need to catch up to keep going ahead. Your contribution is needed, today. Since April 1 2013: * 43% more time is spent on the website since a year ago * 31% more returning users than a year ago * new free and easy to use Australia and New Zealand Radio Guides * new Retro Radio Dial features cover more of the world * new features * new radio features broadcast over Radio NZ International More than 99% of people who use www.radioheritage.net make no contribution. Those who do become supporters are recognized on the Roll of Honor. These are the people who make it possible for us to continue and we need more of you to give them a hand today. * Regular Gold = $35 year * Contributing Gold = $75 year * Sponsor = $100 year * many other options at www.radioheritage.net/Supporter.asp Please use your credit card today at www.radioheritage.net under the KULA hula girl to make your contribution. We're $4,500 behind with our funding today. It might not sound much but it's a real burden for us and is holding us back from moving forward to keep up with the new things we need to do keep collecting, protecting and celebrating radio memories.
