[NJARC] What is a "Radio?"

[David R Sica]

Rob,

If that's true, I agree that a regular broadcast schedule could easily be
beyond our ability to staff, however if you consider the alleged success
of the wretched new 101.1 FM "Jack" (boo! hiss!) that replaced our
beloved WCBS-FM, I suspect there's not a living soul in the studio for
their broadcasts. This line of thinking might open up a lot of
possibilities. 

If we wanted to do this, and were able to, I repeat that would be a very,
very cool thing, but I certainly am shaking in my boots to think of the
amount of effort that would be involved. A phono-oscillator or carrier
current setup might be good training wheels to see if we would really be
able to follow through on a regular basis and if we would really want to
manage something this ambitious. My gut reaction is that it's probably
too much work. The nearly-beaten-into-submission artist in me say, hey
let's see if we can do it!
