Lots of ways we can break this down, I'll pitch in $20-$30 for a fund to purchase one of these digital stations and one of the analog ones. The 'analog' station is at going for $95.00<br>
<br>Hopefully we can find 10-20 other people interested in a one-time sponsorship of the associated costs.<br>Wiki: <a href="https://www.noisebridge.net/index.php?title=ThingsWeWant&action=submit">https://www.noisebridge.net/index.php?title=ThingsWeWant&action=submit</a><br>
