preparing to launch the new interactive website on our 10th
anniversary in January 2014.

over the world thanks to the kindness and generosity of our donors.

50c to service each free visit to the website.

radio books

Important
_________ 

**From April 1 2013, the operational costs will be frozen at $412 a
week for the next 5 years
**these are genuine costs just to keep the project running, such as
power, space, storage, PC and office equipment and repairs, insurance
charges, stationery, postage and other consumables, collection of
radio ephemera, protection of radio materials etc - these are the
bills we simply have to pay other people just for existing
**all time is donated free of charge by a growing number of people
all over the world
**the target is to find commercial partners willing to cover 65% of
these costs
**the reality is that this is difficult, but we're doing what we can
to make the project interesting to possible sponsors and advertisers
**we want to reduce the call on donors to just 35% of the operating
costs in the future
**we believe it is important that people can access the website and
enjoy hundreds of features, the radio guide services and much more at
no cost
**this co-operative approach is the best way to keep radio memories
alive and if you agree, please help us continue
**operational for almost 10 years with costs met by mortgaging the
home of several board members who receive no income and can no longer
carry the full burden of these expenses
