The Highway started test broadcasts today on 107.4 in  Paeroa (Lemon &
Paeroa Country) in the Hauraki District.

We are a self funded community station. Our target audience is anyone who
has ears so we will be playing just about everything.

I am a first time LPFM transmitter and have set up the station from scratch
so if anyone out there is a newbie to LPFM and is thinking of starting up, I
have some recent experience and tips.

I know this is almost sacrilege but I am not using an NRG Kit (I hear you
scream) as a newbie and someone who goes the easy route I got the all-in-one
Stereo Radio Station from Ramsey the FM100B and I am not disappointed. My
test broadcasts using a 1/4 Wave Antenna from www.fmdxantenna.com on the top
of a garden rake handle (yep you read it correctly) can be heard in crisp
clean stereo all over town and for miles out on the plains. My mother lives
on the other side of a hill from me and reception is perfect.

Cheers

Nigel

Let us all know how you get on. The last thing we need is some fool using a precious frequency to rebroadcast something that is probably the easiest station in the country to get.
 
I spoke to a teacher from Pakuranga College the other day, and he said that their frequency was the same as the one being used as the talking clock. He didn't go as far to say that it was them, but its not difficult to put 2 and 2 together.

I dont want to put two and two together, but 88.1 Highland Park has
turned off and this new 88.2 has sprung up. Same operator? Anyone know?

The only difference is this new one is in stereo. I will do a drive
tomorrow to find the tx site and knock on their door.

complies with your RFS 29 in NZ area,
 
Actually, it's not the transmitter output but the e.i.r.p at the antenna that needs to be 500mW or less.  A 750mW transmitter would be best.
 
> 1. Does everyone transmits in stereo, or many are mono?
 
Mostly mono I believe but some use stereo.

needs to buy transmitter, where does he look for?
 
Good question.  We get some looking on this list.  You are welcome to put a link in the links section of the group website http://groups.yahoo.com/group/StationPlaylist/links

You cannot secure a frequency on LPFM
The only way is to start transmitting before someone else does !!

Hi Aubrey

At Michael Park School, I would recommend 106.7fm as the best
frequency for your area.

Your neighbours are:
88.1 (Retro Hit Radio Manukau eats 1/2 of Ellerslie)
88.2 (The Flea - Devonport punches into the other half of Ellerslie)
88.3 (Mountainside - over the hill in Penrose)
106.9 (Kfm Manukau eats all of Sth Auckland)
107.1 (? - Ellerslie/Penrose local)
107.5 (UpFM - Mt Hobson southward)
107.7 (TLC - over the ridge in Otahuhu)

Let me know when you launch, and I'll put my ears on :)

I don't know the Australian situation, but there is no LPAM licencing regime in NZ
 
So the answer is No.

Is LPFM/AM legal in Oz? Is LPAM ok in NZ?

Also, there is a $9000 cap on the revenue you can earn if you are signed to RIANZ as an LPFM station.  If you exceed that, they would want you to pay considerably more in royalties as a commercial station.

Hi Bear,

Advertising on LPFM in NZ is a decision held by each operator. In all
reality, you can make a profit from using LPFM spectrum and there is
no forseeable cap to what you could make (yet).

One trap for newbies is that if you want to make money from LPFM, you
have to either a) be the only station in town, or b) have a captive
audience.

To have a captive audience, you'd best have a well thought-out idea,
wether its music based, community based or otherwise. Identify your
local area and potential listenership - census stats are good, then
serve a niche where the big networks fail in that local area. This is
a good starting ground to build a sustainable brand that can hold
listeners and attract advertisers.

Other operators opt out altogether from the advertising monster and
instead cover costs through internal funding (hosts pay to go on air
etc), or choose to absorb the costs and stay free of commercials.

hope this helps

There is nothing in the GURL that prohibits advertising on LPFM.
Many stations have managed to make a reasonable living from LPFM.
I think you may be confusing the rules for access radio with the LPFM
GURL.

Greetings ,
As far as I know More FM do not rebroadcast on LPFM freq , this may
be some private UnAuthorised Rebroadcast . We had a similar one in
Palmerston North some months back where someone was rebroadcasting
Radio Hauraki . Please Give more details to location of transmitter
and carrier centre freq
and I will check with Canwest Enginnering on Tuesday

Hi Group,
I have started broadcasting in Blenheim on 107.3 FM. The Station is called Freedom Fm If this is causing interference to the station taking up the freq. 107.3 to 107.6 and rebroadcasting Morefm from Nelson then please advise what your actual freq. is and I will either stay on 107.3 if you are on 107.5? or change to 107.5 if your transmission is on 107.3.
Thanks M.B Duffy

hi ethan and all, very wrong ethan, advertising on the
air is a no no, but station sponsors are ok, as long
as they are stated as sponsors not advertisers then
the law has no teeth, this is from our lawyer and he
says its very common practise in such businesses, thx

Hi all,
I'm about to release 100 Pcs of my new 0.5W transmitter which
complies with your RFS 29 in NZ area,
1. Does everyone transmits in stereo, or many are mono?
2. What is the best way to sell those transmitters, when someone
needs to buy transmitter, where does he look for?
3. Please send me some usefull details, I will come to NZ and sell
those items my self within the country.

Thank you all,
Arik T. - Arihav Electronics.

Hi All,

Is it possible to actually run a LPFM station and make a profit? Here
in the UK we just have a third tier of 'community' stations starting.

I've emailed jamie the correct ones off-list. (didn't think everyone
would appreciating receiving a word document)

If anyone else wants a copy, mail me privately and I'll send it to
you... I bugged the NRG people about this a while back and they
eventually gave me the correct list.

OK - thought it was too easy! I have the printed version that came
with my NRG at home that I can dig out tonight if the correct settings don't
show up by then.

Those codes are incorrect...

Not sure if they're for a previous model, but they don't work for any of
their PLL Pro 3 series transmitters.

 Does anyone have a copy of what switches need to be to set the frequency of NRG transmitters?

It is different from Veronica and I can’t find it online.

Cheers,

Jamie

Discussion on the Radio Spectrum Policy Review mentioned in the latest RSM News would be a good idea, where it comes to LPFM and the establishment of medium power FM licences.

We have used this mailing list in the past to come to a sensus before bombarding RSM with a consistent line on specific topics.  This was done a few years ago when a discussion paper was released regarding the FM broadcasting spectrum, and they wanted public submissions.

I believe several benefits came out of that exercise, such as opening the top guardband (106.7+), extending the lower guardband from 88.4 to 88.7, increasing power from 300 to 500mW, plus the 2 transmitters per 25km limit.

In this new review, some questions are asked for which they would like to receive comment, as advertised on the website:-

Any enquiries or comments about the content of the report should be addressed to the Ministry at:

Review of Radio Spectrum Policy 2005
Radio Spectrum Policy and Planning
Ministry of Economic Development
P O Box 1473
Wellington

 
Here is the relevant part of the review concerning low and medium power FM.  It's interesting that paragraphs 221 to 223 are basically exactly what we told them in our submissions.


Page 44 & 45

Second and third tier FM broadcasting

221 Government policies, and broadcasting policy in particular (as is made explicit in the Programme of Action), promote cultural diversity, not only in terms of ethnicity and culture of origin but also for people sharing common interests, age groups and beliefs, at local, regional and national level. Attempts to acquire spectrum at auction by special interest groups, and by local and regional commercial interests, have been defeated in the past by the bidding power of the two dominant radio networks (29) .

222 The consequence is limited variety in programming and audiences addressed. This concern might be resolved by a second and third tier of independent FM stations, broadcasting respectively on medium and low power licences, and catering for the specialised interests of specific cultural, social and interest groups. This would necessitate the imposition of ownership conditions on licences and, perhaps, some limitations on content.

223 Some of this specialised demand is being met incrementally. New Zealand allows broadcasting within the FM band on a full commercial basis, under policies which allow any person to apply for a spectrum licence at any location or power. In addition, if technically compatible with existing licences, a full FM licence may be granted on a temporary pending auction basis at the maximum power at which it can be certified under the Radiocommunications Act.(30)

Low power FM

224 The outer guard bands of the overall FM broadcasting band cannot be licensed at the high powers typically used by broadcasting services, as this would cause interference to adjacent aeronautical and land mobile services. They are currently accessible to broadcasters, therefore, under Low Power FM (LPFM) GULs. GULs permit any person to broadcast in the specified frequency range as without securing an individual licence or incurring spectrum charges. Whilst the primary purpose of LPFM licensing is to protect services in adjacent frequency bands, it also facilitates a low budget entry into local broadcasting.

225 Low budget entry does not necessarily lead to growth or permanence. Most of those who enter the market at this level remain there, if they survive at all. The odds are against any low power broadcaster, however willing, acquiring a commercial spectrum licence in competitive bidding against the major networks. The result is that there is congestion of the LPFM frequencies in

some major centres. User groups have been formed in a number of areas to coordinate the use of LPFM spectrum.

226 It is uncertain how many additional FM licences would be available for assignment if a LPFM licensing regime offering less protection from interference and a lower guarantee of tenure were introduced. Also uncertain are the implications such licences would have for the overall management of the FM broadcasting band.

Medium power FM

227 Medium power FM broadcasting can operate within the existing FM band, but is somewhat different to LPFM use of the guard bands.

  • In-band medium power FM must be engineered so as not to cause interference to high-power services, so individual licences are required.

  • Because in-band medium power FM licences are engineered, the maximum output power of each transmitter can be several magnitudes higher than LPFM in the guard band (eg, up to 100W compared with 0.5W).

228 Of 47 temporary pending auction FM licences included in auction 6, 36% were for 100W of broadcast power or below, while 11% were 10W or below. Generally speaking, smaller commercial and semi-commercial broadcasters are the main applicants for lower power licences but, at least in the most recent auction, these temporary rightholders are subsequently outbid by the larger commercial entities.

229 Some countries, including Australia (10W maximum), USA (100W) and the United Kingdom (25W) have recently introduced medium power FM licensing regimes, which issue individual licences with limited protection from interference, or none. The management regime and maximum power output for medium and low power FM licences vary from country to country, but all impose eligibility requirements which at the least exclude full commercial broadcasters seeking a broad audience.

Issue 5.3

How would a new tier or tiers of FM broadcasting spectrum licences meet community and regional needs? What implications, if any, would such licences have for overall management of the FM broadcasting band?

Issue 5.4

Should lower power FM licences established through temporary pending auction policies be assigned through an open auction, or should conditions apply on who is eligible to hold such licences?

(29) As, for example, in Auction 6, when exceptionally high prices were paid for spectrum in key market areas.

(30) Such temporary licence assignments occasionally give rise to unreasonable expectations of continuity.
