BECOME A WGXC FOUNDING MEMBER

Help bring community radio to Greene and Columbia counties

WGXC volunteers are working hard to launch a 3,300-watt community radio station. More than 78,000 people throughout Greene and Columbia counties will be able to receive the signal on 90.7-FM. WGXC received its license from the FCC and a grant from the US Commerce Department that will cover 50 percent of our equipment needs. We now need to raise matching funds in order to get on the air. Go to www.WGXC.org to learn more about how you can become a WGXC Founding Member and bring a unique radio station to life, or click below on the Paypal link to make a secure online donation.

FEATURED RESOURCE

Transmission Arts, edited by Galen Joseph-Hunter, with Penny Duff and Maria Papadomanolaki. To be published by PAJ Publications 2010.

Transmission Arts will feature 150 transmission artists and works spanning early radio experiments of the 1880s up to contemporary artists. Each artist will be represented by an individual work and biography. Essays will place the genre of "transmission arts" in a historical context, laying the groundwork for the definition of a new art genre. The volume will be organized in sections dealing with radio broadcast, sound installation, performance, web-based projects, public works, and composition.

FEATURED ARTIST MULTIPLE

Over the Horizon: A Print to Benefit WGXC by Tim Clifford

Over The Horizon is a 4-color limited edition of 50, $100, silkscreen print created for WGXC by artist Tim Clifford. The print is based on warning signs signaling dangerous levels of high-intensity radio waves. These signs were found on the perimeter of the U.S. Navy’s R.O.T.H.R. (Remote Over The Horizon Radar) installation on the island of Vieques, Puerto Rico. Following the end of decades of bombing tests by the U.S. Navy, the R.O.T.H.R. site is the largest remaining military installation on the island, and monitors ship and air traffic along drug trafficking routes in the Caribbean.
