- An outside payroll service? Dump Great lakes software? Hollywood
can pay changing staff head counts without 5 or six people full time. Pacifica
National physically moved into Merry Frances Berry's mother's apartment in
1998. I know payroll did not stop.
- Copper twisted pair telephone links to the CO (central office switch).
Than, a PUC/FCC tariff controls the delivered and tested quality and up-time
of every voice circuit we buy, from our PBX outward. No more third-tere companies
that we have to sue to get even un-intelligible performance from. FDR socialism.
Sorry. Market forces don't work unless you can throw the bad performers in
the trash.
- A C and KU band uplink for every station so thousands of poor US and poor
central american and caribien radio outlets might use our signal. Imagine,
non-centralized choices......
- "The first reference about the elevator is located in the works of the
Roman architect Vitruvius, who reported that Archimedes built his first lift
or elevator, probably, in 236 B.C."
- Glass doors at KPFK like KPFA?
- Natural Gas powered, water-loop, central, off the roof, staged air/heat/conditioning
eliminating eight rooftop Tyrannosaurus Rex's that eat s**t. And the change
will save our overworked electrical service.
- Replace every florescent ceiling lamp ballast (100?) with 30 years newer
technology, half the bulb count, and NEVER turn them off, which is stupid
(sorry, it is).
- Outfit a brand new school bus (to dissuade Homeland Security from dissing
us) as a remote broadcast studio. Run on listener-donated cooking oil (diesels
do not create RF interference). A moving billboard!
- Buy a carafe coffee maker and stop burning coffee, stop heating a kilowatt
of water 24/7.
- Put a wood board with 15 topographically distributed hooks representing
each possible unpainted automobile location, behind the entry desk. Buy a
tazor so that it stays full of keys.
- Drop the Voice mail answering, all the money spent has discouraged the
public’s use of our phone system at all. The new system's programming is
a 50% black hole.

No expert here, but digital technologies that allow
us a wider array of programming in various languages would be a good thing
to explore and bring into being.

I love the opportunity for concurrent side channels offered
by HD radio and would love to see digital radio signals co-existing with our
current analog transmissions.
