class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before social media platforms and streaming, radio and television offered people a source of connection.&nbsp;&nbsp;We felt that radio should be an essential resource, accessible to all who live on and visit our treasured mountain home.&nbsp;&nbsp;After years of patience and long-term planning, our low power community radio station is finally on the air.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) only accepts applications for low power stations once every decade.&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, legal agreements had to be signed, music had to be licensed, hardware had to be purchased and installed and automation software had to be configured.&nbsp;&nbsp;As with any passion project on the mountain, we had to accept it would take over ten years to develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our interest in broadcasting began in high school and continued throughout life.&nbsp;&nbsp;We have been involved in education and outreach for over 20 years.&nbsp;&nbsp;We are licensed amateur (ham) radio operators to be of service to others for safety and communication.&nbsp;&nbsp;Our organization, the Mount Lemmon Radio Club, is a 501(c)3 charitable nonprofit, focused on improving communications on Mount Lemmon.&nbsp;&nbsp;The radio repeaters that we have operated for several years have provided an extra measure of safety for ham radio operators traveling to and from Mount Lemmon.&nbsp;&nbsp;The LPFM station expands our reach to the general public, by providing education, safety information, updates on community events and a source of connection for our visitors and residents.&nbsp;As a neutral community resource, we will shy away from political and religious content.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Mount Lemmon Radio Station is here to provide:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul
