Congratulations to PARD Vaanoli for beginning test broadcast. I'm sure it will do a great job of representing their community. By the way, a great model if any one is interested in low cost hardware set up. A bit of detailed info about PARD Vaanoli on our site : http://maraa.in/2009/08/pard-vaanoli-community-radio
