Again, I apologize if I went outside posting protocol...I am not sure if allowed I can post my website as an alternative to listen and tune in and this network which is among 30 similar radio services for the blind.. https://cgrradio2.wixsite.com/cgrradio https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_reading_service I also sent a sincere email about the following(by seeking full permission)from the ARRL...and many will say why? well yes why not to not promote me or CGR in general but to have an alternative way to tune in..and I KNOW I might get flack... Dear ARRL, My name is Gerald Gaule owner of CGR radio for the blind and disabled and veterans. I would like permission from you Folks to start a stream Among the current 5 streams I operate full-time around-the-clock. That is noncommercial as a hobby for the blind and disabled and amateur radio operators. I have been a amateur radio operator since 2006 and a retired radio broadcaster. My question is, I would like permission from you. Folks, do you start a stream along with the other streams? I have a whole stream dedicated to A R RL public service announcements. And podcasts. I gained no money from this but I do not know if you have a full-time stream service only to programming. If not, I would like to be the first in the world to do that. I look at it this way not only to promote it, but as a hobby to be promoted. And be accessible and as a convenience should the blind disabled or as an alternative to listen. I'm sure you have been approached, but it would be a stream at my cost to start a stream devoted to programming from you, folks. The reason why is to promote the world of amateur radio between the third party broadcasters, the streams and 2 stations in the Northwest. Who are noncommercial, has a wide range and is repeated through their subcarrier 67khz SCA network. It has a potential audience of 500,000 plus, yes, 500,000 plus coverage between those sources. I am seeking permission and giving full credit to you. Folks about adding a stream along with the other streams that I have. I do not charge anybody to tune in Community Growth radio is one of 30 such similar radio networks for the blind and disabled and veterans in the US. You can find out more on my Qrz page and profile. Please feel free to contact me by phone or email or snail mail. I do not seek any financial gain but to sincerely promote the radio hobby worldwide. Even more and the goal is to drive traffic or potential listeners to join the ARRL And the positive Waze and persuasion to join your organization. This is a very serious inquiry. Please let me know so I can pursue this. You could go to. https://cgrradio2.wixsite.com/cgrradio Thx DE KE7GGV 73.. Gerald Gaule Owner/Engineer/MD/PD. CGR Radio for The Blind, Disabled and Veterans.
