Welcome to the YSTV Documentation Wiki.

This is intended to document as much of the Station as possible - how it works and how to run it. We also have HistoryWiki, for articles on people, shows and other events. Most of this wiki will be technical, however that does not mean that non-technical stuff should not be documented!

This is very much a Work in Progress so please contribute where you can - don't worry about getting it perfect, a more experienced wiki editor will probably come along and clean up or format the article for you. Just concentrate on documenting your useful knowledge of YSTV for future members.
