This is a great  idea!  My suggestion is to  approach various FM stations 
along key points of the trail to broadcast brief  trail beta at key timeslots.  
Since I’m more  interested in talk/news broadcasts, I wanted to find an MP3 
player that had an  AM receiver (I’m not a radio expert, but I believe AM 
transmissions carry  further than FM signals.). But I couldn’t find such a device 
that was portable  enough to consider packing. The  Satellite receiver I now have 
is a dream come true! And If the PCTA can swing  a short broadcast through 
Sirius, say on one of their weather channels, I  would definitely make use of 
such a service!
-------------------------
I say the community demand that the PCTA do radio spots during Thru Hiker  
season.  Say, from April through October.  I would get a super small  satellite 
receiver for Sirius/FM/AM/SW.  
 
During the PCTA radio program, of course I would be available to do  some 
SuperSecrets of Backpacking spots too.  :-)
