alt_leeSo, we've been testing the radio, and we think we have something working. Problem is sorting what we air. And when.
The folks at Aldrich have a dozen different ideas. A couple want something on all the time. Others think it's too much risk, and we should air only once or twice a week. And no one agrees which times.
What to say's also hard. Some here want to pass personal messages to their families, but that might be way too dangerous. But no one wants stupid platitudes, either.
Reading everyone's comments about the camps and food, maybe we could use the radio to share how it's going, or what needs to happen. Might need a way to code it, though. The good thing about radio is that anyone can listen. The bad thing is that anyone can listen.
Aldrich is talking about it on Tuesday, so arguments for specific stuff would be good before then. Or ideas on how to get more radios to people privately, or let them know about when to listen. Maybe someone who's working with the camps could come to that, or ask when you talk to people if they'd find it useful.

The safety thing's also a problem, and maybe Mr Shacklebolt or Mr or Mrs Longbottom could explain this more, but from what I've heard, the more information you put out there, the easier people can put it together. And some of that's what we say, but it might also be other things. Someone at Aldrich mentioned being able to maybe overhear sounds like birds, and figure out where we're broadcasting from.
With the Fidelius Charm and all, they can't actually get to us, but if they figured out more or less where we are, that might still be bad. (One of the people here at Aldrich got real worked up about them doing things to the water, or maybe the air, if they knew sort of where to do it. Took everyone ages to calm him down.) Plus, the more we broadcast, the more a camp enforcer or someone could hear, maybe recognise a voice, go after that person's relatives. Everyone wants to chew on it lots before deciding.
I like your idea of Muggle music and books. Might solve some of it.
