COMMUNITY STATIONS TEND TO FIND FUNDING A MAJOR CHALLENGE, PERHAPS MORE SO THAN ANY OTHER ORGANISATION.
Funds are always hard to come by, so it is even more important to ensure that the hard-earned money is spent wisely.
Unlike many other broadcasters, Community Radio thrives on involvement from as many people as possible, which in turn puts different demands on the technical equipment needs.
Some people only use the equipment occasionally, often there is little or no technical or even operational support, occasionally the kit receives rough treatment.
