You must have a mighty fine location Aaron because that carrier is strong all over the city(even behind the big hill in front of my house!)Im sure you...
Hi just to change the subject a technical ? I know that higher = better but is there a maximum above the mounting point that a 5/8 wave aerial will work? I ask...

A 5/8 antenna definitely NEEDS a ground plane to work. 1/4 wave and 5/8 are essentially a radiating element above a reflective surface. The reflective surface...
Do you not have a SWR meter? If it's popping transistors then it must be no good, or you have a bad connection. I can't answer your question, however. I...
I made my own 1/4 wave ground planes as a teenager for CB radio. What you can do is string 4 sets of wires out at a roughly 45 degree angle from the top of...
If you don't know, an isolator is a piece of ceramic (I think) with a hole at each end for tying wires to. You can use anything strong that doesn't conduct...
Dear Jochen.. A quick question please... Please expalin what you mean by a good quality connection from the reflective surface to the aerial. Many thanks Dave ...

Hello Dave I think Jochen means a GOOD connection from the reflecting roof to to outside braid of the coax feeder at the point where it connects on to the...
hi group, 2sc1947 rf transistors are too expensive to run into a poor swr antenna, quick answer is to tune as best as you can, then use an antenna tuner in the...
Can anyone tell me what kind of coverage these 3 frequencies currently give ? For example, 93.8 MHz is 100 watts at 181 metres altitude. How far does that...
The freqs are designed to cover Waihi and the town of Waihi Beach. You won't get much more and you'd be luck to get Tauranga at all Look at their HRPs - they...
It means that the reflective surface (ie the roof) should be electrically connected to the ground connection of the aerial. When I did RT aerials, we would...
Although if Canwest/MED (whoevers first) let the red tape go and give us 400khz spacing - could 93.8 become a Tauranga frequency? ..considering most of Tga's...
93.8 in Waihi is currently in use by Coromandel FM. I can pick it up very well in full stereo in the car here in Tauranga. About as strong as a LPFM at 2 or...
Hi Ross What LPFM stations are there in Tauranga please? Brian. ... Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo! Movies. http://au.movies.yahoo.com...
Hi Brian I posted this a few weeks back but it has changed slightly. 88.1 Blowhole FM (Studio) 88.2 Tourist FM 88.4 Soul FM (Mt Maunganui) 106.7 Blowhole FM...
Hello Ross Thanks for that info.I have had an enquiry from some people at Papamoa who are entertaining an idea of setting up a station. Fine about the PC.Just...
Hi Brian I see. Papamoa is quite a distance from central Tauranga and blocked by hills so a number of frequencies could be used. However, I can suggest some....
200khz spacing should be fine mate - if it comes to that. cheers, ... blocked by hills so a number of frequencies could be used. However, I can suggest some. ...
I guess so except currently I can wake up to my station (1km away) on a clock radio with minimal interference. That will not be the case at 200khz. ... From:...
What a luxury! Maybe its time to invest in a home stereo with timer function? ... on a clock radio with minimal interference. That will not be the case at...
Hello Ross Thanks for that info. My gut feeling at this point is to go High band rather than low so I will see what develops. Regards Brian ... Find local...
So auction now complete. The results are 93.8 $35500 96.4 $34000 99.4 $32000 Nice! ... up very well in full stereo in the car here in Tauranga. About as ...

I've had no problems with Winamp 5. Current version is 5.05. Have you perhaps installed faulty plugin? These can crash Winamp. Spacial Audio's streaming...
I dont think its Winamp Jamie, its probably a combination fried rice of other things on your pc: • If you have skins enabled, try reverting back to the...
Some problems have surfaced with Winamp 5.05 in some areas of LPFM broadcasting we are associated with, but we haven't nailed the problems to the wall yet...
We put Winamp 5 on one of our computers here. Talk about slow...,takes 1 minute to fire up on a machine (800mhz with 198 meg of ram) Apart from having lots of...
A lot of the work in 5.0 has gone into the Media Library. You can have it automatically scan a folder structure for new files and automatically categorise...
Hi Jamie, I haven't experienced these problems with Winamp 5. Seems to run very well here, so maybe there is a particular plug-in you are running that is...
