POST FALLS, IDAHO.

Sad to report that our FM outlet of 99.1 FM transmitter
is all but dead.  Putting out only 5 watts, as the final
stage of the transmitter went out.  In the hill country
of Northern Idaho here - That is not much to get through
the mountains that surround us here.  Estimate for repair
is $1500.00 - We will start saving for this project if we
can - in the mean time - simply pull up to the studio driveway
and you should be able to tune us in.

Rock-it Radio has a very special way to remember Wolfman Jack. 
Arguably the most iconic of American DJ's.  Come check out the
Rock-it Radio Wolfman Page at:
REMEMBERING OFFSHORE PIRATE RADIO IN THE UK

In the mid 1960s  it was difficult for the youth to actually listen to Rock and Roll in the UK.  The BBC actually ran only a few hours a weekend to provide the young Brits with this outlet.  At night during the week they ventured to even tune into Radio Luxembourg to get there fill, that broadcast rock and pop around the clock. 
To fill this void some venture capitalists decided to bring in commercial radio aboard refitted radio ships.  And anchor themselves just  off into International waters off the English coast.  Radio Caroline (named after Caroline Kennedy the U.S. President's daughter at the time) and Radio London being the most famous. 
Rock-it Radio  has a website dedicated to their ventures and also have actual radio broadcasts available of these offshore pirates.  We invite you to check them out our webpage at:

like we can send you a paypal invoice within 24 hours.

When you order a Rock-it Radio show or shop at our Rock-it Radio Launching Pad you
help keep these oldies alive and help us pay the bills here at Rock-it Radio.
And at the same time -- you are not getting nothing for your donation,  but actually  
some of the shows and memories we hope we keep alive here at Rock-it Radio.

Rockabilly bands looking for airplay

If you or know someone that would like airplay on Rock-it Radio we invite
you to submit your press kits to Rock-it Radio.  Our website for further
information is:
http://www.rockitradio.net/airplay.html

============================================
Come tune into  the World on your computer!

1000s of stations around the world now broadcast online.  We have a
link to some of the internet top directories to help you find these stations.
http://www.rockitradio.net/internetradio.html

============================================
Rock-it Radio Program Webpage Reminder

Remember, if the show that you want to hear is getting close to the bottom  
of the list of radio shows, you should tune in as soon as you can. These shows
to have a high audio quality require a lot of internet bandwidth and memory.  
And currently we can only afford the
30
latest shows online here at Rock-it Radio. 

So, when a new show is put online it knocks the oldest one off the Rock-it Radio  
archives page.  Usually a show will at least last 16 to 20 days, once it is placed in  
the archives.

============================================
OUR SISTER STATION FIRST NATIONS BROADCASTING.

We invite you to also check out our sister station -- First Nations
Broadcasting. And tune into the rather Cool North of the Yukon and Alaska  
with our very own Debbie Snowdove!


============================================ 
Well that is just about it for this newsletter and playlists of our latest
shows. We hope that you enjoy them.
We will do our best to keep these shows on for at least 14
days and hopefully 21 days.
All the best always,
Bennie Dingo
