I've lived in Rialto since 1995 and have, for a long time, imagined what you're actually doing.

I can't wait to hear...

Fantastic!!!

I live at the far end of D.7, and am not in line of view of the transmitter (if it is from the top of the digital hub?).

Do you know how strong the transmitter is? Or, is there any of it being broadcast via the internet?

I live near the bottom of the Malahide Road and do pick up N.E.A.R., but the signal could be better (distance = approx 3 or 4 miles). Hopefully the transmitter at this new station may be a bit stronger.

Good Luck to everyone at Liber8 from your community broadcasting colleagues in Donegal.

I spent the weekend in D4 mostly and couldn't pick it up.

I think community radio will have to have a web presence as well as terrestrial broadcasts. We should get a collective server to archive the talk-based programmes and liberate the voice of the voiceless so that the world can hear.

If we also make it open publishing, I think, at least some in indymedia would be interested in helping with site maintenence.

At the moment, radio.indymedia.org can hold what we need, but it would be better, I think, if we had our own platform linked to indymedia.

Also, each station could have podcasts on its website, replaced weekly...

Craol was to be responsible for archiving, but but its lack of progress can be seen at www.craol.ie.

Community radio should be more than a tokenistic gesture. It should be a real alternative model to the mass-media. We're not professional...we're much better than that.

I also live in dublin 8, and great to hear of another community station coming on-air. you might consider some cooperation with West dublin in Ballyfermot as you'll probably overlap in some areas and Eugene and Rosaleen are very helpful.
