The Radio Station Website
As part 15/low power radio stations grow, many build a web presence based around a Hosted Website.
The best known ways of establishing a website include a commercial-type site such as maintained by KDX Worldround Radio... or various free-type website arrangements about which we know very little.
The third way of doing it is somewhat secret because the providers of web services don't want anyone knowing how to "do it themselves".
MRAM 1500 (Chairman Bob of the ALPB) is the pioneer who established a website from home requiring nothing more than internet service and a PC and has kept it online continuously for quite a few years.
Eventually Carl Blare of Worldround Radio gave it a try, found that it worked, but set the idea aside and continued shoveling $$$ for a commercial website with only a hobby radio station.
Following the invention of Blue Bucket Technology Barry looked into the home website idea and launched a continuously running experimental website from behind a mountain somewhere in Kentucky.
Carl Blare took notice and returned to the idea with the thought of replacing the costly web host by going independent from the Internet Building (lawn-keeper's tool shed) in the center of north america.
Now it's an official decision... KDX Worldround Radio is transferring all web traffic away from the big-time site to a small home-site and there's a lot of detail involved.
For example, all 115 episodes of the Low Power Hour must be removed from the commercial server and put somewhere while remaining accessible to affiliate stations.
Most e-mail addresses currently in use will expire and need alternatives.
Only months remain and we'll be here with progress reports about all the home-site projects.
Low power radio stations are cheap operations and even worse than Donald Trump when it comes to pocketing loose change.
