Call your local newspaper and ask them about circulation numbers for the

Thanks for the advice, but I have better uses for my time. I didn't see
what
advertising medium you recommended to Dan(?).

For what its worth, my tiny local hometown paper claims a circulation of
2,700. Pretty good for a town that in the 2000 census only had a
population of about 2,200.

However, were I in this situation I wouldn't avertise in my local paper.
I already KNOW everyone who might be interested.

Frank, your situation may be a little different.
You are in a largely rural area. The local paper is probably the
cheapest and best distribution source.
How well is your area wired for broadband, btw?

Oh, it probably is. And I like it that way ;-)

Dunno about that. We are quite rural, but with a large population center
(Portland) less than an hour away.

Fair. I've got wired DSL at home. There's cable internet available in
many areas. The local ISP has done a good job with providing wireless
broadband. I daresay high speed internet of some form or another is
available to anyone who wants to pay for it. The fact of the matter is
that it is not generally a high tech area and people just like to get
their news the old fashion way.

I was considering listing us in Airnav.com at the fields we operate
from.

How many of you use that site?

Back when listing was free, we were listed on there, but I rarely saw it
in the referrer logs for my web site. It certainly never generated any
real leads.

PT Our flying club does that. We buy the list from the FAA.

Isn't this information free? Download the ascii file from the FAA,
upload into an RDB (Access is convenient), set up filters to limit to
certain zip codes, and print addresses.
