Sitka radio station broadcasts whale sounds
<http://www.peninsulaclarion.com/stories/040903/ala_040903alapm0060001.shtml>
SITKA (AP) -- Sitka radio station KAQU is broadcasting what may initially
sound like static. But listen closely and you will hear the underwater
sounds of the ocean near Whale Park, and maybe even whales.
Clay Culbert, former owner of Clay's dive shop, told KCAW radio in Sitka
that he helped set up the new whale radio station.
Culbert describes himself as a regular listener. He said the more you
listen, the more you hear, including the grunts, snaps and pops of whales
in the Eastern Channel. Sometimes they even sing.
Whale radio is a low-powered FM station of 100 watts that was the
brainchild of a group of West Coast marine mammal biologists. When they
came to Sitka for a whale conference, they discovered the town is an ideal
place to set up a listening station where whale sounds can be monitored.
Jan Straley, a marine mammal biologist at the University of Alaska
Southeast, presented the idea to the city, which holds KAQU's broadcasting
license.

Full Story May Be Read at the URL Above. Now does anybody want to front
some grant money to put this station on the internet with the permission
of its owners? It could be accompanied with a whale done website with
lots of information about the underwater mammal.
