Do it! Email as many as you can. Not just DJs, any other people who you think might be able to help you also. Ask if they have any jobs going at their station, pester them, let them know who you are, show an interest.

^ yeah i've e-mailed two DJ's today....ben jones and joe cornish (adam and joe) :D

 

i'll pester more tomorrow :P
