"calling on in transit..."
(Have had R.E.M.'s "Radio Free Europe" stuck in my head ALL day thanks to this project.)
First radio broadcast is going to be made shortly (like within the hour or so)... so if you're within a block of my house in North Chili, tune in. ^^;; S'pose there's a chance one of my neighbors will have the radio on...of course, there's a major station that broadcasts at 97.9, and one around 96.5, 96.9... but I could hear a little click and altered static when I turned my radio on or breathed across it beside our great big 80s stereo, so presumably this'll at least sort of work.
As for what I'm broadcasting.. I was thinking about the fact that my radio is (not currently, due to transportation issues, but usually) housed in an old camera.. cameras take snapshots, catching at brief moments in time and showing them to more than would have seen them otherwise.. so I figure I'll do about the same with my broadcast. I've a few little things written up, and I'm still playing with the idea of the border between memory and imagination, history and fiction, so I think I'm going to interweave my own memories of things and observations with things I write, jumbling together different times and points of view.
With random music probably between my blatherings, for when I start getting too rambly and stop making sense. ^^; (I don't plan on making all my broadcasts one-hour shots though, I was just a bit busy this week. I'd also like to keep a uniform time..but since I'm out of range of anyone else anyway right now, I won't worry about it this week.)
... Right, and again fate decides to encourage my procrastination. I'd fully intended to go broadcast now...and someone important gets on aim. oops. ^^;; I can wait a few more minutes, right?
