Two Harbors Radio Survey

Two Harbors Community Radio, a nonprofit formed by local citizens, is developing a low power FM radio station for our area. Transmitting from Two Harbors, it would serve an area from 3.5 up to 10 miles radius (from Castle Danger to Knife River and inland to much of Silver Creek Township and part of Clover Valley.). It will be an all or mostly-volunteer station to serve our area's needs.

Please take a moment to share your thoughts about what you would like from a local, community (non-commercial) radio station. (Paper versions of this survey are available at the public library, from THCommRadio@gmail.com or by calling 834-2247.)
