BAY AREA RADIO MUSEUM NEEDS YOUR HELP –
We are looking for volunteers to help get our Bay Area Radio Museum on-line, back on track. Our site was very old and has been updated. Part of the update is an effort to repair many broken links to audio exhibits and standardizing our audio clips to MP3. We need some dedicated volunteers who can devote some computer time to fixing these problems. We will set up a class to teach the procedures necessary to solve these problems. Our BARM site is very popular and we really want to insure visitors a fulfilling experience by having all our exhibits and links working.
