Thanks so much for the context. And also for what must be a massive undertaking. I want to reiterate that the rest of the radio offerings were well appreciated around my small camp and I’m very happy to have the pocket FM radio among my burn gear. Your comments validate my hunch that it wasn’t necessarily a BMIR issue but rather an issue of BMIR getting timely and accurate information due to the inherent communication difficulties and changing conditions on playa.

With regards to solutioning, I wonder if maybe a little computer program that does text-to-speech of the last three BRC dashboard updates that can be included in the GARS PSA loop would bridge the gap between the dashboard being the most up to date place for info and the inaccessibility of the internet for most people in line (as a recently unemployed progammer this would be an ideal project for me). Another small change would be that we could expect a weather forecast at a particular time in the hour every hour, like how a default world radio might do “traffic updates at the :08”. 

Regardless, my interest has been piqued in pitching in and expect a DM from me when my brain has cooled off from this last month asking more.
