The AM transmissions can only be heard at Wave Farm, as these are unlicensed broadcasts under Part 15.219 of the FCC rules. Wave Farm Radio will broadcast radio art and other "transmission art," as well as experimental music, creative composition, free jazz, noise and other fringe styles. It will also feature field recordings, and live open microphones from the fields, forests, streams, and ponds at Wave Farm. A little more installation work needs to be complete before full-time broadcasts begin, but a test AM transmission will be included on "Saturday Morning Serial" May 31 on WGXC.

Would you like to get involved as a volunteer during WGXC June fund drive between June 5 and June 11? E-mail Outreach Coordinator Jess Puglisi at jess at wgxc.org. The WGXC Outreach Advisory Committee meets Thursday, June 5 at 4:30 p.m. at the Catskill Community Center. If you're interested in getting involved with this critical aspect of WGXC's operations, consider attending the meeting, or contact Jess to learn more.

In other fundraising news, WGXC raised nearly $1,500 at our Memorial Day BBQ at the Half Moon on Sunday, May 25. Supporters enjoyed barbecue courtesy of Chefrissa (Marissa Ryan), and were treated to two sets from Chops & Sauerkraut, along with acoustic musicians who played on the porch. WGXC extends its sincere gratitude to Half Moon Hudson, Chefrissa, Chops & Sauerkraut and friends, the porch musicians, and all the volunteers and supporters who contributed to a successful and fun evening for everyone.
