Hi Again
Thanks folks for that fast replys thought don't intend for a war to
start.
Iv'e spent the day experimenting with Zara and got all the services I
need to work so may as well continue with this in meentime. Just got
to load all the tracks into the computer.
For those who may be intrested Oamaru Heritage Radio is a Not For
Profit group I set up some years ago We have some 15 presenters and
run a live program 12 to 14 hours a day then currently use a stacker
for the rest, (this has its own problems) so the look at automation.
Also our ballance sheet shows a turnover of about $4000 for the year
Mostly rent so not much there for fancy stuff.
Thanks again Charlie
