Our heartfelt thanks to those at stations who wrote kind and understanding letters. We are now back on the air, doing some final tweaking to our equipment. We suffered storm damage, and 2010, 2011 have been tough years for us. Three times now we have had electrical problems with lines that have damaged our sound recording equipment. We may have to redo wiring in our home/studio.
