[KFCF Friends] KFCF Updates

[subs at mail.kfcf.org]

As of late Friday afternoon, the KFCF transmitter is repaired, in place 
and running at almost full power. Some additional equipment at the 
transmitter site was damaged according to preliminary reports, but we 
did have backup equipment for that piece of equipment.  The generator at 
the transmitter site has also been repaired and tested.  The generator's 
fuel tank has been refilled.  With fingers crossed,  I'll say that most 
listeners should hear us now.

Hopefully we can now get back to doing great radio that people can 
hear.  Pacifica recently got an email (at the bottom of this email) 
about the new Pacifica affiliate in St Louis that is internet based. 
This is the type of letter that makes it all worthwhile. I thought 
everyone might enjoy the email, so I've included it at the end of this 
message.

Email  recently received by Pacifica:

>>I'm listening on the new Pacifica station in Saint
>>Louis, Mo.  I cannot call in because to listen I have
>>to use the phone line.  I'm a Republican and I'm
>>usually be proud of that, but today I was so shamed by
>>the behavior of our elected officials in my Party and
>>those on the other side, Democrats, who were silent.
>>
>>B.T.W. - N.P.R. here didn't cover either the
>>confirmation hearings OR the Congressional Challenge.
>>
>>In the City of Saint Louis, we've had a history of
>>voter fraud in reverse.  Democrats control the City
>>Elections Commission and there were numerous people
>>who didn't live here voting, dead people voting and
>>even a dog registered to vote.  (There was a picture
>>of the dog petted by Kit Bond, Senior Senator from
>>Missouri, when the dog was quoted voting "democratic"
>>years ago.)
>>
>>If one looks at the history of the Republican Party,
>>we had overwhelmingly supported the Civil Rights Act,
>>the first African-American elected congress members
>>were blacks. (See the book by Perryman.) 
>>
>>When Democrat controlled election officials fooled
>>with the voting here, there was hell to pay.  All the
>>things  the Dems were saying today were said by local
>>Republicans and by no less than our Senior Senator,
>>Kit Bond...and there were recounts...and the local
>>press....and we were outraged.
>>
>>But, when things are in reverse, look how we behave!!
>>
>>The early Civil Rights Republicans are turning over in
>>their grave and where the heck were our "main street
>>Republicans" with their impressive moderate website.
>>
>>I feel my Party was stolen by Religious fanatics and
>>people who have lost compassion for those who are not
>>of the rich.  I am very sad, although I know some
>>great Republicans and I wonder how some of our
>>moderate Republican people who did get elected will
>>deal with the fanatics here.
>>
>>I never thought I'd be writing to Pacifica, much less
>>thanking you, but I am so glad you are finally here in
>>a local station, because our NPR station sounds just
>>like Fox now and I am starting to rethink many things
>>since hearing Democracy Now and other programs.
>>
>>Best wishes,
>>
>>
>>Paul
