Prometheus De-Livered

Goes out two or three times per year to every Tom, Dick, and Harry we have ever met. This is big picture stuff concerning the movement for low-power radio but not information overload.

Making Waves

Goes out any time something important happens in low -power radio: a major public notice comes out with accepted applications, a new campaign starts, we publish a new pamphlet on a topic of concern to low power radio stations, and so on. It tends to come out once or twice per month

Stubblefield

Stubblefield is a list-serv with a whole bunch of low power radio applicants and those that love them. There are a few engineers and attorneys there that like to help answer questions as they come up. Any actions on individual low power stations show up there once a day. Mostly it is designed for low power applicants to be able to talk to each other. For a listserv with as big a purpose as this, it is remarkably spam free and people are very responsible about not filling up your inbox with junk.
