REF FM describes itself as a community-based station on Ukerewe Island. The record shifts attention from owning a receiver to organising what can be heard. A portable radio is only one end of an infrastructure that includes production, equipment and choices about speakers. A station’s description establishes its public aims, not that every listener has equal influence. Set it beside the Sternchen and ask who can respond, propose a programme or contest an omission. No recording, audience statistic or current broadcast schedule is asserted in this entry.
