5. SONIC SOCIETY MARKS 200 EPISODES!

A congrats to Sonic Society who celebrated their 200th show on April 13. The best in audio drama! Sonic gold! Check out their website (http://sonicsociety.org/) and podcast (http://sonic.rnn.libsynpro.com/rss).

6. TRANSMITTER UPDATE - WE'RE CLOSE!
We are taking the last steps towards going back to full power. Thanks for everyone's patience through this static-ridden couple of months. We really need to step up the promotion in the coming months to win back the hearts and radio dials of our listener base.
We are tentatively scheduled to go back to high power on Thursday, April 22, starting with testing at 10am and continuing throughout the day. Cross your fingers, folks! Many things need to fall into place to make this happen.
