Off topic and for Ross,
How many years did it take you to learn computer programming to the level you could create the likes of the studio player of yours? I realise that depends on a good genuis in the relevant learning area.
I've often debated learning computer science but I'm almost 29 and wondering if at this age it's even worth trying to learn. I'm not very academic, I learn very rapidly hands on and an a technical sponge when it comes to learning.
Maybe I should just start a business and hire someone that can do it. But I'd imagne it takes years to write a piece of software like your studio player for example?
I'd love to write an automation programme one day. I love the old classics like www.edfm.co.uk which I'm playing around with at the moment. Those old 16-bit automation programmes were small, fast and functional.
For a hoot I thought I'd setup a windows for workgroups PC networked to my machine that stores all my wave files since wfw can't handle large drives. Then throw a few sound cards in.
I'm young enough to appreciate new things, and old enough to remember the first windoz.
Gavin.

RSM is on holiday so don't expect much this time of the year. They did hint at releasing a change before the end of the year but it didn't happen.The increase to 1 watt sounds like it will happen but with some sort of height restriction, which will result in much less coverage for many operators.It will be interesting to see how they do it. The LPFM system in the US has a height restriction of 30 metres above the surrounding area, and they may implement something similar here. That may make it illegal to put an antenna on a high building, which I know several operators do.We are hoping for no restrictions, but we'll have to wait and see.Regards,

Last I heard (and I'm a bit out of the loop) there was talk of it being increased from 500mW to 1W.
Thanks!.
