WHY KYAQ COMMUNITY RADIO 91.7 FM CARES (Community Access Radio Emergency Services)???

KYAQ COMMUNITY RADIO 91.7 FM MUST HARDEN ITS INFRASTRUCTURE to continue to broadcast News, Emergency Alerts, Warnings, Evacuation Instructions, and Essential Public Communications live and effectively, in multiple languages, even through possibly months long power outages. This requires purchasing, installing, and activating Emergency Generators at the Studio and Tower locations as a first step, while also improving, hardening and expanding our signal capacity and developing shortwave-internet-cell and off-grid integrated systems and collaborative partnerships.  KYAQ NEEDS YOUR HELP---Volunteers, Donors, Sponsors, Underwriters ALL needed to benefit our Community!!!

Guaranteeing Easy, User-Friendly and Inexpensive (Radio + batteries as low as $10 or less/ only on-off switch needed) KYAQ Radio Outreach for Lincoln County’s Emergency Alert System is essential to Public Safety for EVERYONE who lives, works, visits or travels here.

FEELING SAFE is essential for our TOURISM! For our Educational Partnerships (OSU, OMSI)! For our Scientific Community (NOAA, OSU, Hatfield)! For our Businesses, Cultural and Recreational Endeavors! Most of all for Lincoln County's Public Safety and Peace of Mind!
