We Dig Solid Gold

.........................................................................................................................................................................

     S.O.S - Save Our Station.  It's our campaign to bring Beach Music and our Solid Gold Oldies back to the airwaves of Sanford.  We have lost our lease of equipment, studio and tower space and must now secure a new location for our studio -plus- purchase our own equipment.  We're totally starting over but with your help...We Can and Will Return.  Follow our progress right here online and consider how you can help.  We've made this list to give you an idea of what we need as an estimate.  We'll mark it off the NEED list once we've actually acquired that item.  Please understand that every single dollar in donations counts.  Use your credit card to donate online.  If you have items you'd like to donate please let us know.  Contact me if you have ANY questions, I'll be glad to respond.

Studio Space

Basically

2 Rooms

of Office Space

Reasonable

RENT is

a must.

 

Studio Space: We're looking for a great location for our new studio space.  Nothing fancy, just a place to call "home".  If you

know of something downtown, please let us know.  A small office space with 2 rooms would be ideal.

Our Biggest Need - Help Us Get It

Transmitter:  The most important and most expensive piece of equipment.  Can't get back on the air without one.  Price listed is approximate for a NEW transmitter but once we have some money we'll try to find a used one.  Donate today, help us buy it.

Antenna:  We are most thankful and pleased to announce the

donation of a OMB-MP2 antenna.  This is a 2 bay antenna like you see pictured at left.  Our former setup was just a 1 bay antenna so this is a big step up for us.  They really don't look like much but each one has to be tuned to our 107.9FM frequency to meet all FCC specifications for broadcast.

 

We have been promised this antenna will ship out as soon as we need it so it's as good as in our very hands.  Our sincere thanks to our donor and we give God all the glory.  WOW!!!!

Cable:  Getting the signal from the transmitter, up the tower and to the antenna requires a special cable.  We've had up to 200 ft. of this cable and connectors donated and will need hangers to bolt it down along the way.  God is working.  Another WOW!!!!

ON-AIR Computer & Monitor:  We need a New or fairly new computer with Windows 2000 Pro or XP PRO.  Will need dual hard drives of about 120GB and 60GB.  Professional sound cards are needed but we may not be able to start with them.  We're in hopes someone will donate computers they no longer need or components to build a couple.

Automation Software:  This software keeps the music going around the clock.  There are many different types at various price levels and we're excited to announce that Raduga software has been donated toward our return.  Want to see what it's all about?  Visit www.raduga.net to learn more about it.  You can even download a demo and test it out for yourself.  Now how cool is that?  Just another wonderful blessing!!!

We Hope

To Find A

Used One

for around

1,500.00

Donate One

Audio Console:  Everything inside the studio runs through the audio console which allows for Mic's, CD players, tape decks and the automation software audio.  Prices vary tremendously and we will hope to find a good used one reasonably priced.  We've pictured one that sells new for around 2,400.00.  If we can find a used one it will be great and save us a lot of valuable dollars in constructing our new studio.

Studio Microphone:  Well, we've long dreamed of having the radio standard of an Electro-Voice RE-20 which we have pictured here.  They sound awesome.  We didn't even have one of these at the old location.  We're just trying to "Think Big" but we'll certainly be able to use some of the lower priced Mic's that are available and do a great job as well.  The RE-20 Mic is seen in so many radio stations around the country.  Maybe one day.

Production Microphones:

     We are thankful to report we have received the donation of 1 BRAND NEW MXL-V63M microphone to be used in our production studio.  This is our first NEW donated item and we are most grateful to receive this Mic.  We have it in hand ready to go as pictured at the left.  We're still going to need at least one more for a guest Mic when we get back on-the-air.

 

NEED

 

Pretty much the same

as the ON-AIR

computer and monitor

Production Computer & Monitor:  We'll also need a New or fairly new computer for the Production Studio.  This will be used to edit audio files, load new tunes and lots of other work.  This will need to be about the same as the ON-AIR computer above.

Production Audio Mixer//Console:  Like the main audio console in that all equipment in the Production Studio runs through this unit.  It helps control volume levels when recording, editing, mixing.  A used one will work just fine.  Ebay has them very often and we'll certainly take a good bargain any day.

Turntables:  You can't play "Oldies" music without spinning some real vinyl on a turntable every once in awhile.  Whether it's a 45RPM or a 33 1/3 LP, there's just something about real vinyl.  We've also got 2 Russco Studio Pro turntables but we need tonearms and cartridges for them.  Now those are REAL radio.

EAS System:  Emergency Alert System's are REQUIRED by the FCC for all stations.  This unit automatically receives State and National info about weather and emergencies then re-broadcasts that info to you our listener.  Can't operate without one.

EAS Logger/Printer:  As part of the EAS system above, the FCC also requires stations to keep all the info received on file within the station.  Continuous feed printers are most often used but some stations record this info to computer files as well.

     On 11-01-06 we received a used one and we're told it works well.  The item is on hand.

EAS Radio Receiver:  We're required to monitor several Full Power FM stations in order to receive the information that comes from them during emergency situations.  It's like a FM radio tuner and works in conjunction with the EAS Unit itself.

CD Players:  We have one but still need one more for our main on-air studio.  We have received 1 - Technics unit and have it in hand.  While most all of the music is on computer, CD players are still a necessity. Maybe to play that new tune you just got in the mail or as an emergency when the computer might need an adjustment.  Can't donate the whole thing?  Donate towards one.

Cassette Player/Recorder:  Sometimes we get programs on cassette tapes.  Again, a home unit will work but the more professional units are better suited.  Used ones are plentiful.

Pro-Mic Booms: 

     We'll need one Mic boom for each microphone in our station.  One for ON-AIR, one for Production and hopefully one for a Guest Mic as well. 

 

     They just hold up a Mic..simple.

 

NEED

 

  Donate One Telephone/Answering Machine:  A typical home unit will work here also.  That way you can call us around the clock and make a request for your favorite song or leave some good comments.  Tin cans and strings just don't seem to work outside the studio.
 

NEED

 

  Donate One Desks/Chairs/Files:  We're going to need at least 2 desks or someone to build us some counters to place all of this equipment on so we can use it.  The main ON-AIR desk/counter will need to hold a lot of stuff and accommodate a DJ and guest.

MONEY:  Anything you can donate will be greatly appreciated.  This list will continue to grow even as we check off items we have acquired.  The little stuff adds up quick.  Contact us if you have any of the above items OR make a donation online.  Thank You, Be Blessed!!!    Click Here To Make A Donation Today
