<DIV>Yes, indeed we have to wait for the outcome of the speech (and the mention
of “other announcements” is intriguing), and then respond to it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In the meantime are we doing everything we can to help eachother? I’m
surprised and saddened to see announcements about stations in trouble without
any hint on this forum. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Marlow FM and Destiny105 in Oxford came to my rescue when our RSL was
devastated by signal problems (uplink freq in a military zone – a story for
another day). Stations in East Anglia helped eachother with a mast
problem recently. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If I can help by sharing some of what made Wycombe Sound’s RSLs successful
please just shout. I know it’s not a full time station but it’s not
for want of trying!! </DIV>

<DIV>After a pointed e-mail he motivated a result with Ofcom on a problem that

<DIV>The important point here is that if you submit a question to a Minister via
your MP he has to respond in writing within 14 days.</DIV>
<DIV>Bear in mind that the question(s) should be polite, simple, short and to
the point</DIV>

he hasn't answered your question.</DIV>

with our local MP David Rutley for the last 3 – 4 months on a number of issues
regarding Community Radio. He has passed my observations and thoughts onto Ed
Vaizey. Thus far, I have received nothing back from Mr Vaizey. I did have a
response from him about 2 years ago and I was grateful for that. But as I have
pointed out before, the response was disappointing at best and worse
still 1) Didn’t actually answer either of the
questions and then 2) invented a
question which he answered himself commenting on the money we received from the
Community Radio Fund …. If you put my questions to his response I would argue
that the first word that springs to mind with most people would be
‘’’patronising’’’</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

that there are still 3 major Community Radio Stations in restriction bracket
number one, it basically turns the whole thing into a Circus. The status quo is
