Tibetan Exile Group Seeks Your Used Audio Recording Gear
from Boing Boing by Xeni Jardin

A Tibetan exile group in Northern India (whose work I've reported on  
previously for Boing Boing, WIRED, and NPR) is seeking used voice  
recording gear for an upstart independent community radio station.
At left, a photo I shot of Phuntsok Dorjee with a fellow volunteer,  
setting up a wireless network relay point inside a tribal family's  
garage on the top of a mountain at the southern edge of the Himalayas.  
Goats and routers, under the same roof, not far from the Tibetan  
Government in Exile's home of Dharamsala, India.

Phuntsok says,

"We have 10 students in the radio team but have only 2 Sony IC voice  
recorders. A friend of the organization will be in San Francisco  
sometime in early July on his way to India and he can bring for us the  
voice recorder if we manage to get some."

Got any used voice recorders, or related gear you're not using? Email  
him at: phuntsok at tcv.org.in. These are good folks, doing innovative  
work without a lot of resources.
