with hundreds of micro transmitters, they might be one of the denser networks out there. Its good to have plenty of portals, but the costs get unmanageable, and in some way, out of hand as a systems solution.

It makes great local content. But regional signals require different equipment and infrastructure. I am extremely saddened with the confiscation of RFPI in Costa Rica. There is no single transmission at our disposal that can address an audience from Mexico down into the Andes and beyond. The need is there....

Might be worth while putting a call for some modest power, long range broadcast equipment? And not fall back on internet radio as anything but program sharing methodology between regions. Not the real audience reaching method.

We could easily absorb 25/50/150 thousand $$$ so shoestring budgets will be a challenge to make fill the bill. Personally someone should be asked to step up and drop the $$$ Global has done tech solidarity to supply computer resources. We have not yet done a project for transmitters of any sort.
