UPDATE: Several more of our members have donated to our cause. We hope to count you as one of those members.

Thanks to several very generous members - whom you can identify by going to our treasury page -  we made it through to June '09!  Please remember however, we STILL need YOUR HELP!


Times are tough, and we understand that! If you can't pitch in a few dollars for hosting/design/support, then please tell eveyone you know-- about the new Radio-talk.net ! It's obvious, that the more users (especially participating users) we have, the more reason people will have to not only join us, but also remain active and to make this an exciting and informative place to be! We Just broke the 80 Member mark and we're growing by leaps and bounds every day!


Please don't forget to spread the word by telling EVERYONE you know about our site. We can't do this for YOU without YOUR support. We would like to ask that each person invite as many of their friends as possible by using our "invite" feature at http://www.radio-talk.net/forum/index.php?action=invite or by sending invitations by other means.


We constantly make changes to Radio-Talk.net in order to make it a more user-friendly site, so if you have an idea, suggestion, or problem, please don't hesitate to let us know what *you* would like to see happen! 


We have (to date) received some very much appreciated financial support for the site. We could use all of the additional help we can get as this is getting to be prohibitively expensive for us (your friendly admins)  to 'Pay out of Pocket Personally' (have you checked your mics and processing recently? hehhe)  as the monthly fees associated with hosting this site are around $120.00 per month. So, if you're feelin' the urge, pitch in $1.00, $5.00, $10.00 or whatever you think would help, every penny counts! Contributions can be made by going to: http://www.radio-talk.net/forum/index.php?action=treasury and are very much appreciated as we are trying to avoid accepting paid advertising at this time.


Your friendly administration team--
