Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.com August 12 2013 Hello
Keeping Radio Memories _______________________ It's one-third of the way through our financial year, and time to reflect on progress being made with the project to look after radio memories. We learn almost weekly of major shortwave radio stations going silent, of AM and FM radio folding under the onslaught of digital radio, of hobby magazines like Monitoring Times closing down..............and suddenly it's good to know that there is a place where people are doing something to keep radio memories alive, collected and protected, and shared with others............ 10 days to find $3899 to pay the bills ________________________________________ Keeping radio memories safe, even with volunteer time and skills, still has some costs, just like running a household. Despite kind donations since April 1, our tank is still running on half empty and if you like what we do, please make a donation today................ *$100 Sponsor x 39 or $1.92/week *$75 Contributing Gold x 52 or $1.44/week *$35 Regular Gold x 111 or 67 cents/week Each individual who reads this can make the difference for less than the price of even one cup of coffee a week, so please, just visit www.radioheritage.com today and make your donation. If you're in New Zealand you can also make a very simple bank transfer to our BNZ Courtenay Place account # 02-0568-0025796-00 and we issue tax receipts so you can claim one-third back ...... And we'll keep doing our work so more people can enjoy 350+ features, hundreds of photos and images and the growing group of radio station guides all for free............thanks on behalf of thousands of people who visit the project every month searching for radio memories...............they'll find them thanks to you. Aussie & now Kiwi Radio Guides ______________________________ As a volunteer based organization, we depend on new technologies to do the work, keep in contact, and make life a little easier. Thanks to Chris, our ever patient Webmaster, we've now got some ways to involve others in the exciting task of data entry, which results in things like THE New Zealand Radio Guide, the amazingly popular Australian Radio Guide and other neat services that folks enjoy, and find useful. Have you used them yet? Facebook is OK for some _______________________ Nearly 700 now like us on Facebook too, where we share items from the collections, stories, news, competitions and enjoy feedback and comments from supporters worldwide...............do come and like us: www.facebook.com/pages/radio-heritage-foundation/130248583654860 More staying longer ___________________ More people are now staying much longer at the project, and the new Retro Radio Dial features are proving very popular.........plus I hope you've seen the new features on the early days of Radio 2AP Samoa and the US Armed Forces Radio Mosquito Network station 1ZM in Auckland, New Zealand......... Our thanks to folks who keep the collections refreshed with more memorabilia every week.....station ephemera, QSL cards, promotional items..........but please don't send transmitters and antennas or old radios...........we just don't have the room for them! Enjoy! ______ Enjoy the rest of summer, or winter..........and visit the project as often as you can......even if you read just one feature a day you'll be back every day for almost a year.............and if you'll help us cover the A$3,899 shortfall in operating costs by August 21 we'll be honored to add you to the Supporters Roll of Honor and you'll know you've done such a lot for less than the cost of one cup of coffee a week! Warm wishes Dave Ricquish Chairman Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.com Email 'code PW7' to radioherit...@gmail.com to be removed from this list and allow 15 days for manual removal by a volunteer from our system.
