Astronomy.FM and AFM*Radio needs your help!

 

Astronomy.FM’s main feature is AFM*Radio, which now airs 24 hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week, to more than 10,000 listeners world-wide!

 

In accordance with the Astronomy.FM Mission Statement, AFM*Radio features science, astronomy, and space-science education for amateur and professional astronomers, students, and the general public.

 

As our audience grows and our programming becomes more diversified, our radio expenses increase. Those expenses include greater bandwidth and equipment upgrades.  Astronomy.FM is a member-funded, volunteer-operated organization.  Even with the generous donations of our members and listeners, these rising costs present a serious challenge.

 

Please consider gifting a small donation of $5, so that we may continue bringing you your favorite astronomy or science-related programs. Go to www.astronomy.fm and click the donation tab, or mail your donation to us at Astronomy.FM   PO BOX 614  Rhinelander, WI 54501.

 

Thank you for being members of Astronomy.FM and listening to AFM*Radio. Your donations are greatly appreciated and we look forward to continuing to serve the international astronomy community!



Marleen Bryan EdD-President of Astronomy.FM

Our Solar System's largest planet is also one of the brightest in the night sky. Not only can we see Jupiter's colorful bands and Great Red Spot, we can watch its four Galilean moons as they orbit the great gas giant. You'll find daily stats, such as moon and GRS transit times, on Ricky's Jovian Chronicles.

Astronomy.FM has grown quickly over the last few months, and with increased listener-ship comes increased costs. Your donations, large or small, will enable us to continue our current broadcasting and bring you even greater programming in the coming months. Please consider a donation today.
