This afternoon the Alaskan Federation for Community Self-Reliance (Fairbanks Open Radio's parent organization) submitted its application for a non-commercial FM license. We're all exhausted and relieved and grateful. We could not have done this without the support we've received from all of you over the past year and a half.
Now what? Well the wait begins. We don't know how long the process will take, but it could take a year or more.
And while we're waiting, we will be working on hiring a director for FOR and recruiting would-be citizen journalists to man the website. And, of course, we'll be fund raising. We need 100K to bring this thing to fruition after all.
Thank-you everybody!

You mean “would-be journalists to STAFF the website.” Just my two bits.
