What happens if a car hits a power pole and takes out the phone lines?? :)

You could plug a UPS unit in to another UPS Unit that would give you double
the time.

That is a cheaper way of doing it and works pretty good.. More Ups Units
more time...

Re: [LPFM] LPFM in emergenciesThat's the trouble...it runs automatically for
12 minutes. If the outage is longer than that it's dead air :(
I should get some bigger batteries.

However, I'm about to install the software that comes with it so that the PC
will ring me if the power goes out then it's just a question of whether it's
worth getting out of bed!

Hi All ,
The subject of radio in an emergency is quite complex.
There are so many stations the general public wont have a clue which to
listen too .The telephone book used to say TUNE in your local
station ! As far as LPFM is
concerned as an emergency or CD station it would depend on staffing and
signal coverage . If its a severe emergency LPFM staff may be too busy
looking after their own family or property to even think about
emergency messages .
I think its probably better to leave that to the commercial networks
who have more staff , better signal coverage and better known to
emergency service staff and the general public .


Steve

That's a good question and rasises issues of responsibility - how far
does our hobby bring obligations to our audience?

The tsunami warning is an extreme case - but we do get extreme weather
and floods. My present view is that once I become aware of the
emergency, which means someone has woken me up and told me, I'll make
the decision whether or not to switch to a relay of National Radio. I
haven't (yet) got any agreement with them to do that, but I've written
to them to see how they react. I guess I could equally approach either
of the commercial networks.

There are some technical, and legal, issues here that I'd be happier
to have sorted in advance rather than on the day. Like, who is liable
if someone says over my station something that is wrong, and some
listener consequently loses property? Or dies in a mudlside?

Should we try to work together with others to create our own form of
the defence alert system they used to have in the US, where networks
could send a signal that automatically put stations into Defence Alert
mode? I think RTL in Europe experimented briefly with a similar system
for news flashes a few years back. But who do I trust to decide what's
going out on my local station?

Yeah I remember a funny civil defence tape recording we (access radio station I was at, at the time in 1994 or something) that was put on to cart. A really bad sounding synthesised alarm with no message though.

 

What type of generator are you using? Assuming for that price it's not an inverter type, does it have frequency control or voltage regulation? I dunno if I'd plug PC's straight in to a general generator.

 

Hokonui Gold in Gore used to have problems when their generator kicked in, the UPS stayed off until it ran dry. There might be more to it that they were telling me but I thought that was kinda wierd or their generator must have been outputting terrible quality AC. I got offered their older UPS units for an LPFM but declined as a new one we had was only $200-300 to run a PC, mixer and STL for a short while. Although I don't know how good the line conditioning is on them.

 

I like the UPS units that convert AC to DC, then that DC is switched back to clean AC without going autonomous.

 

Do you keep your feet warm with a 400W heater in the studio? Halogens are great for their low settings with generators.

 

Gavin.

Subject: Re: [LPFM] LPFM in emergencies

I remember commercial stations used to have a 'mayday' cart that they would play in emergency but as you say, someone has to be there to put it on!

 

Out of interest, do you guys have anything set up for power failures?

Interestingly the last power cut we had some of the major stations were of-air but we kept going.

We have a battery powered UPS that kicks in seemlessly and keeps the essential parts of the studio running for 12 minutes. During that time we quickly plug in the generator and run a cable down the hall which again seemlessly takes over and will run for 6 hours without a refill of petrol. All up it was about $450 but runs without skipping a beat.

We'll I'm a little useless on this since I don't have a TX running at the moment, but my two cents worth.

 

I wouldn't do a hoo haa about the Queen, since the early ways of how she became in power was to other peoples poorness and also through war. It's a shame, and some will miss her, but the world moves on and I wouldn't call it an emergency broadcast of any sort.

 

But emergencies like natual disasters etc... RNZ sounds like the more viable option if prior legal arrangements have been made for simulcast. I have national radio tuned in on my own satellite box at home (I have plugged in to my old Sky dish) that picks them up incase FM transmitters or translators decide to kick the bucket in a mass power outage (since I don't get a very good radio reception where I am appart from a local commercial I setup a few years ago whcih is still the majority voice tracked). I figure RNZ and their Teleport which is either at Sky or TVNZ will be on an emergency generator and should maintain an uplink of their satellite feed.

 

That's something though I've been thinking about a lot in the past two months when testing serial and satellite based automation products for automated recording and networking etc... I'm really shocked that in NZ we don't have an EAS system of sorts like in the United States. Over there its usually delivered via saetllite with a few contact closures or serial data that tells the automation system to record and broadcast until told to stop or re-recorded and update. They test it on a weekly basis in the middle of the night from what I can gather aswell.

 

Perhaps this is something the NZ civil defence and MED authorities should give greater consideration to how to deal with getting this information out in an emergency. Because it's almost pointless ringing even big networks when they're all home in bed and voice tracked. Although I did get the cleaning lady at Southland's Classic Hits once after hours when trying to reach the ZB news desk (before I gathered my list of people in the know's direct dials).

I think during civil defence emergencies, it would be wise to relay a station that is getting more up to date information.

 

However, in the instances about the Queen dying, Sir Ed kicking the bucket, or another major terrorist attack such as the Twin Towers that would be different. I know when Princess Di died, on some stations there was just a brief message and then back to business as usual. If the Queen was to die today, I personally would be quite saddened, and would put up an announcement ASAP, but I would not be dedicating the whole days broadcast to the event or relaying another station.

Hey there

UP FM has a couple of transmission points,  the one that gets into the Howick area is from a very high site at the top of Mt Hobson.

Its easily one of the best LPFM broadcast sites in the city, it has a clear line of sight to every where south (you can even see thames from there). It means we get fantastic coverage with very little loss of signal.

'I have noticed a very strong signal in Howick for the last week or so.' Just tuned in huh? its been running for the last two years as is.

Cheers

Yeah the mrs (a reporter) told be about that when I went to teach her to
drive a manual at tea time.

I am just so far over bewildered...

It's a huge stab in the back to NZ.

They've really got any complainers by the balls to if you really think about
it aswell. If someone complains, then they can easily be seen as not
supportive of  New Zealand artists/talent when comparing music programming
vs their hand out to radioworks.

Then on the other side of the wall, anyone that receives any degree of NZ On
Air funding will look like hypocrits if they complain also. That's a really
well thought out opportunity that one.

They've just given their commercial share holders a great big boost for
doing nothing.

I'd ask for the money back, what's kiwi fm doing on sky digital anyway! Come
on, canwest are a global coperate, yet they won't let Telecom get away with
making more money without the hand outs!

Gavin.

Did everyone see this from the Dominion today. Is this fair? They were rating
worse than a lot of LPFM stations and what happens? Where do I go to get
my 'charity' full power licence for playing music that deserves to be
supported? Maybe this is a softener to Canwest before new medium power
frequencies are announced for LPFM???? (Fingers crossed :)

"Kiwi FM in radio rescue deal

TUESDAY , 02 MAY 2006


The Government has stepped in to save New Zealand music station Kiwi FM, which
was facing extinction.

Broadcasting Minister Steve Maharey said the Government would grant it access
to new FM frequencies to help it stay on air.

The station, launched by CanWest last year, has failed to attract sizeable
audiences. Network bosses decided last month to replace Kiwi FM in Auckland
with The Breeze, Wellington's most popular station.

Kiwi FM will take up its new frequencies from July."

Any idea what bitrates? Will we end up with dozerns of channels of unlistenable swishy noise like audio on sky digital or something at usable bitrates?
