Well it being a 100Watt station in a rural area, it's not likely anyone at all will be
able to hear it.
But they do stream live on the internet: http://airtime.knyo.org:8040/128.m3u , and their
calendar is here:
http://knyo.org/current-schedule.html They've got some interesting local content on
Friday nights (PST8PDT) and Sunday mornings and afternoons.

I'm happy to report that as of this morning,
100-Watt KNYO-FM in Fort Bragg California (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KNYO-LP) is
running on Linux, Linux Audio and Free Software.
(Well, then again, I can't speak for their website; I didn't set that up, and it
looks like an F5 box, dunno what they run. But the actual streaming and broadcast radio
signal chain up to the transmitter is Linux.)
The FM transmitter is in a remote location getting its audio program from a Raspberry Pi
running Raspbian connected via DSL to a Linode running Airtime and Icecast2 for station
automation and streaming. The studio machine is a Linux Mint XFCE box running The BUTT
connected via DSL to the Linode and Airtime. I've done a few Liquidsoap customizations
to Airtime to fill in missing features (AutoDJ, saving incoming streams, etc) and will be
doing more, possibly contributing them upstream if I can keep them clean and general
enough.

Pleased to hear it. Erm, but then again I'm not likely to actually hear the
station in the UK :)
