[cma-l] the Community Radio Toolkit Needs You!

[Phil Korbel]

Hi Bruce

The site is un-funded and we've not had the resources to support new

Watch this space for the re-launch...

Would hate to see you when you're being critical ;)

best wishes

Please note that I work at Radio Regen under 2 days a week so responses
might not be as quick as we'd like.  Many thanks.
