FIND US A TRANSMITTER LOCATION?  YOU GET  HUGS, KISSES, GRATITUDE, AND A CHANCE TO CALL IN, ARGUE, INFORM, AND DENOUNCE !
 
We need access to a bathroom, internet, and electricity.–either indoors or out (we’ll build a structure if necessary). 

We’re also seeking a transmitter space where we can put up an antenna–a backyard, a multistory home, a high tree–help us spread the word.
