In reply to Mike Stevens

  Firstly Anthony (Tony) Dunnett is alive and well thank you for
asking.

Secondly At no time did I defend ether Tisco or APNA Fm I merely
corrected  what I viewed was a total fabrication of the installation
of APNA Fm's transmission sites. The other reason I responded was
the
unprovoked attack on myself by an unknown person who was claiming
that I was overpowering APNA Fm's transmission sites.

As far as Tisco management was concerned the Apna Fm contract was no
different to many others we had executed for various clients over the
last few years. At no time did I over power any transmitter sites as
was wrongfully claimed. Infact as I reported at the time I took great
care in trying to minimize interference to other users.

That fact was also disputed, what could not be disputed was while
these allegations were being made I was assisting the local MED
officers on a full audit of all the APNA Fm operational sites.
However even this did not deter some brave soul in reporting that I
concealed high power transmission equipment from the MED.
However as luck would have it the MED officers arrived at this
particular location Before Shyam Karan and myself. They had already
been to the transmitter site and looked around. I pointed this fact
out to them when this alligation was levelled at me.

As to Tisco getting dumped ,the contract was for a certain number of
installations and once they were completed our interest in APNA Fm
also finished. What has happened since I do not know about and cannot
comment on. It might surprise every to learn that Tisco Auckland was
one of two contractors employed to install APNA transmission sites
nowhere have I heard any reference to the second contractor.

As for the fact that Indian News link ran a feature on ApnaFm and I
happened to be present along with other Tisco personnel the day that
the reporter arrived to interview Mr. Karan and the meeting presented
its self as a photo opportunity, So what. I was also invited to the
APNA launch accompanied by a drop dead gorgeous Chinese lady, seeing
that you are taking a keen interest in my personnel life.

It was also reported by me in this very forum that once APNA's
Transmission sites became operational persons unknown installed other
transmission sites using the same frequency 107.1 Mhz with in the
immediate vicinity of APNA's operational transmitter sites.  In
one
location so blatant was this action that it was installed only a few
hundred metres away. It would seem that for every APNA transmitter
there is within its immediate locality another using 107.1 and
broadcasting either loop music or in some cases just a silent carrier.

  I have to ask my self why every one is not in an uproar over this.
We all know the answer don't we, it doesn't affect me so
it's not my
problem. I'm not defending APNA but every one here is crying
foul,
and shouting about illegal transmissions don't you think these
qualify just much. After all they affect you just as much as they do
APNA.

Yes APNA also requested action to be taken against this type of
unnecessary nuisance  So I am led to believe and I'm informed
that
some four months later it sill goes on. Don't we have a double
standard here?

But I ask you is all the character assassination really needed or
warranted but if that's how you get your kicks go to it but be
reminded of your own war cry "WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND"
Its not
until you've been personally on the receiving end of innuendo and
fabricated lies you start to react.

It is indeed sad that the LPFM frequencies are the mess they are in
but as long as its not regulated or policed this kind of abuse is
bound to take place.

I for one am happy to be removed from it,

Regards
Tony Dunnett

Tisco Auckland or APNAFm

Like I said the Signal is FREE TO AIR UNENCRYPTED, they can use any cheap
satellite receiver they want. To pick up the signal. They are NOT required
to use Skys decoders or subscribe to any of Skys services.

Oh well APNA is not just talk of Town but talk of nation. Here is some more
facts about how illegal activities are continuing without SKY TV’s
knowledge.

Suddenly new facts comes out and we have to think that NZ Laws need to be re
wrote, i am surprised from the newsgroups not many people want to sing about
them, if you don’t raise your voice you wont be heard. As APNA Quotes – your
first Choice..24 hours Indian… Nation wide on 88.1, 88.3 & 107.1.

We Mr Shyam Karan you have all of sudden popped in with your cry baby
thoughts from no where, and what happened to Anothony Dunnette who defended
TISCO & APNA, had photos in Indian newspapers to do your Installation.

Or did APNA ditched Tisco after using them and got technician from FIJI’s
FBC to do work for them.

And how about your Announcers who said no PAKIHA (Europeans) can stop them
from hearing nationawide, Minister has written the new rules in their
favour. If someone is not being heard its not APNA’s problem.

Oh so we poor LPFM users have to give up because you can link up through
sky, you have a transmitter on New Call Building on Symonds street, which
has made mess of city upperband.

LPFM group is place where you can defend your shelf but you are lucky on of
us PAKIHA’s haven’t seen you face to face otherwise you know how nice your
features will be.

Isn’t it time to con another business man in another one of your
un-successful ideas, or you think that new frequency will only be auctioned
for Indian’s at a cheap prices, leaving out the other multi cultural
community out. Mate this is not FIJI where you have people holding up guns
and taking on politicians. This is Land of justice for all, you should do
something for the millions of sheeps we have here, who make bigger
nationwide population than you minorities.

To all other readers this is my grudge against this particular group of
Indians, other wise i know our Indian friends are hard working and loving
ones please don’t be offended when you read this. Indian community is not
happy with this new venture too as it has divided their own people.

We need peaceful & loving united community not splitting. What would you do
if all Europeans took them out of Dairy business. Mr Shyam Karan to dream is
good at night but when you give nightmares to other people thy will give you
something back in return.

Why don’t you admit that you were over powering, why are you heard all over
Auckland and killing 88.1 Mulcher, 88.2 Tourist FM, 107.1 Unforgettable
Music.

What was the fine when you were found doing huge over powered signals
recently ?
Can you answer all these, NO
No because, you know you cant defend your shelf

Yes we will jump about APNA because before you even started on newsgroups or
the whole propaganda you were a failure and were not liked. Which has not
change not it will.

Shall we inform SKY that you are not paying from all the sites in NZ, as the
SKY rule states you have to pay from each site to rebroadcast signals. You
have just been conning Indians house hold to pay monthly subscription and re
broadcasting that signal. Sky does not know this. But wait till they do.

You cant get away will all this, there will be more coming. LPFM rule is
being outlined but you need an interpreter to understand it. Please don’t
think all dreams come true, keep dreaming but there are lots of nightmares
are on the way.

Take a chill Pill

I've no problems with anyone using LPFM if they stick to the rules
but these guys at Apna seem to be completely ignoring them.

It will be time consuming and many might feel it a waste of effort
HOWEVER .... I would very strongly suggest that all LPFMer's get on
their telephones and call Radio Spectrum HQ EVERY day until some
action is taken to stop Apna's Pirate activity.

I'd even go so far as to suggest an 'on-Air' campaign encouraging
listeners to also call Spectrum to complain about illegal and
overpowered operators.

Get dialling and writing those letters !

If you don't kick up a fuss now, LPFM will eventually be drowned out
completely by such illegal broadcasters across the country.

It can be argued that Sky is being brought into disrepute through the
illegal actions of its client, Apna.

If Apna are using SKY to feed their illegal FM transmissions then Sky
has a legal responsibility to withhold service from Apna until it
ceases its illegal broadcasting activities.

Are you now suggesting that we are on a different plane as well? You
may be right, we probably are years ahead... therefore required to
follow a rule that comes into effect in the future on the 1st of
October2003... while the transmitters being used to block us continue
broadcasting without once announcing who they are though they should
have been doing so every 3 hrs from the 1st of July, 2000 but
continue to do so with the blessings of the LPFM operators and the
MED.

You sir may be a cretin, you may have a different format and you may not
seek (there is a difference between seeking and accepting) government or
agency assistance.
However this does not absolve Apna from the current regulations that we all
operate under, namely clause 3/1 3.

Terms, conditions, and restrictions
(1) From 1 October 2003, within a 25km radius of any broadcast transmitter
there must be no more than one low power FM transmitter broadcasting
substantially the same program (including simulcast or re-transmission) as
that broadcast transmitter. Broadcast transmitter means a low power FM
transmitter or any broadcast transmitter licensed pursuant to sections 48 or
116 of the Radio communications Act 1989.

What ever justification you may use to defend your position is not above the
law.

Thanks for bringing us up-to-date. I think it's important that
rumours etc are put to be quickly. I think there is one chap who
uses this group as a soap box for his racist slurs. Most of us here
have no issue with you or others.

My only concern and I will get on my soap box here is that LPFM in
my my mind was designed for locals, whatever nationality, in each
town/city to broadcast. Using Sky to transmit nationwide is
great....but then rebroadcasting without local content in my opinion
breaks the rules.....that is my only gripe. I have no issue with any
nationality using LPFM....like the foreshores its there for for all
New Zealanders and no one ownes it.

What does it have to do with Sky? Sky broadcast Apna well so what???? Apna
pay for it and the broadcast on Satellite is FTA.

Sad news for wellington LPFM'ers
and more to follow in country

The miss use of Free public service is exploted by idiots,Apna will continue
to destroy more and more LPFM operators.

Just imagine how many Transmitters they have,

Tisco is installing this for them so Tisco will have a list of more than 40
to 60 places
where they installed all the dishes, this list will be helpful to track them
down on 1st of october.

Sky has turned a blank eye on this issue and if they are to provide just a
music channel they need to know this condition as this will be a huge
problem in near future.

Letter to the Editor

I saw your report on Apna FM. What are frequencies they are currently using
in the Auckland area?

Thomas C Hokenson, TV Radio World

Apna FM broadcasts on 107.1 frequency but is on an unlicensed and low band
frequency. With a number of other broadcasters including Iran Radio, Korean
Radio, Samoan Radio and UP FM Radio using the same frequency for their
broadcast limits the Hindi station’s accessibility in all areas at all
times. However, the station’s broadcast on Sky’s digital platform passes the
test of quality and can be heard with greater clarity on free-to-air basis
on its radio channel 109.-Editor

Apna FM’s Shyam Karan says: “Because some listeners could not access the
signal on 107.1 FM, they rebroadcast on frequencies that are open including
88.1 and 88.3-wherever signals are free and clear. We are confident that
listeners will have better access to our station in due course.


Apna is admittingthey are on these frequencies in Indian News Papers.

Even Ethnic Affairs Minister Chris Carter is great Friends with Sahil Shah
so the government has eyes closed, And the Muslim MP Ashar Chaudhary is
continuing to support such biased operations.

1st October doesn not mean much when they are going to say our listeners are
putting up transmitters.

How many people are happy to buy a $500-$1000 transmitters.
What does LPFM law say when a individual home owner re-broadcasts Apna FM
signals after 1st october
is MED or Radio Sepctrum going around with a van to detect which area of
Auckland or anywhere in NZ the signal is coming from.

The rule should be inforced to say exactly what site is the signal being
broadcasted to be announced every 3 hours. So people can do something about
them.

APNA FM the big Pirates are here to destroy NZ AIR WAVES

God defend New Zealand

Hi, once again it appears that we (legitamate LPFM operators) are going to
be trashed by an ethnic minority running in breach of the general user
licence.
I'm starting to think I might change my format to one that caters for
Displaced,Lesbian, Outer Cretins with Disabilities (no offence intended I'm
just making my point)
This seems to be both the composition and policy of current government.
At least I to would be able to operate multiple, overpowered/modulated tx's
with little chance of repercussion and if rumor and speculation is correct
every chance of financial support from those chared with overseeing the
policy.

Yes, our signal (88.3) is affected - in parts we are wiped
out completely, most other areas have a bit of interference,
although there's a small pocket left around our broadcast
site which is unaffacted :-)

Still, that's the way a shared system works.  I mean, there
are other stations that intefere as well (88.3 southern
star, 88.2 tourist FM) so I'm not complaining.

I've been told that it's not actually APNA FM operating the
transmitters, but instead some of their dedicated listeners
who wanted to hear the signal in other parts of the city
(other than Kilbirnie) who are running the extra
transmitters.

My comment was meant in jest.....but it will make it hard for MED to
find/communicate without an english indentification.

Still no local content though......

Consider this:

A car has to have safety messages on it: "Warning this vehicle has an airbag.
Always use your seatbelt" etc etc etc

But does that message have to be in English??

No!

Consider all the second-hand Japanese cars imported into NZ - covered in warning
labels, all of them in Japanese, and none of which I can read....

So why should a radio station's identification message have to be in English?

Jochen (PS - that's not an English name :-)

Its them alright.....I think that they should at least have to
announce who they are 'at least every 3 hours' as per the MED rules
in english!!!

I am a little dissapointed that they have chosen a frequency to go
over the top of other operators......There is more space at the top
of the band than in the 88's. They could have joined the other
Auckland crowd on 106.7!

I take it this means you are now wiped out mate?

Its them alright.....I think that they should at least have to
announce who they are 'at least every 3 hours' as per the MED rules
in english!!!

I am a little dissapointed that they have chosen a frequency to go
over the top of other operators......There is more space at the top
of the band than in the 88's. They could have joined the other
Auckland crowd on 106.7!

I take it this means you are now wiped out mate?

For Your Information...

It appears APNA FM have started up in Wellington on 88.4 last
Saturday.  Heard throughout parts of the CBD, Kelburn, Brooklyn,
Newtown, Mt Victoria, Berhampore, and Island Bay.

Not sure who it is that maintains the listings, but you might want to
update your website to reflect their new frequency.

I don't hear them announcing "APNA FM" but I'm pretty sure it's them -
complete with ads for spice shops in Auckland, and phone-in recipe
sessions.

Hi

A friend is compiling a list of all station throughout NZ that either are fully
Country or have a Country Music Show.

If you know of any station, both LPFM and full stations, could you send their
contact details to me at bobdew@...

Thanks

Robert
