Just on the same thought and hence getting around to replacing the subject;
We had a good length but reasonbly tame quake down here aswell with all these little shake ups lately.
I wonder if the best practice would to make sure an LPFM operator can take a feed of National Radio if they have reasonble means to do if still broadcasting? This would be providing National Radio provided the best response to both national and regional state of emergencies?
Has anyone approached other regional stations to find out who would be the best station to simulcast appart from themselves depending on their operation?
With national being carried on the freeview transponder now (although on Sky's service for a long time now), I wonder if taking a satellite feed from national would be wise in such an event. I also wonder whether it would be the first transmission medium affected. At a first guess satellite might be more reliable than electricity going out everywhere or optic cable being disrupted.
Just a few thought provoking questions, hopefully. I'm sure it's been discussed before but a topic that should pop up now and then.
Cheers,
Gavin.

As in thinking of knocking back on some upper frequencies available for LPFM use?I must go have a swat up on the M.E.D. site, I haven't been there for a while.Just a thought, we had an automated emergency evacuation system go off at Rugby Park in Invercargill recently. I thought it was a civil defense siren going off since I couldn't quite make out the message from the other end of the city.At the same time emergency service vehicles were dispatched and they were dwarfed by this other siren. Turns out the emergency services were involed in a car chase that was unrelated.However it made me re-think about the civil defense response system again in NZ compared with the likes of the EAS system in the states. How have other stations liased with civil defense in the possability that a state of emergency in an LPFM operators area should occur?I wonder if the tri-opoly networks have policy in place for this aswell.Gavin.----- Original Message -----From: Ross LevisTo: LPFM_Radio@...Sent: Thursday, October 11, 2007 3:32 PMSubject: Re: [LPFM] Looking for half brother
Perhaps we are still holding our breath for the 1 watt increase and most have died!

Appologies LPFM'ers!!! I replied to the wrong email.
I'll get it right next time.
I've noticed the LPFM groups have been a little quiet appart from the occasion message now and then.
Cheers,
