Yes, good comment there Dave, and it echoes my comments about NOT
getting them involved unless absolutely necessary. While we don't want
to become police-people for the airwaves, there needs to be a certain
amount of self-regulation, as in any communal operation.
Once we determine where the offending station is, it is then just a
matter of knocking on the door and explaining to them that they are
operating outside the parameters of the GURL, and showing them the
(excessive) mod levels they are using.
I'm sure this can work to bring about change.

Hi all,
A comment for what it is worth, from personal experience and observations.

If you, as an LPFM broadcaster, make a complaint to MED about another
broadcaster, expect to have your operation checked out as part of the
investigation process.

At first glance, this might appear a little over the top, but it appears
to be pretty much standard practice with most "law enforcement"
organizations, not just MED, who have to investigate these sort of
things. I guess it is a filter to sort the serious from the trivial or
maybe even vindictive complaints.

Cheers

When and where is our next meeting? I have something for the agenda.

This is the inherent problem of allowing an almost "open season" in
terms of broadcasting. The GURL has stringent provisions with it, but
when you allow people who often have absolutely NO RF skills at all to
suddenly put a transmitter to air with no peak limiting, no idea of
their EIRP and no respect for other users, this is the exact situation
that occurs.
I suggest that the RFS is NOT brought in unless absolutely necessary,
as every situation like this brings the GURL under more scrutiny, and
as has been shown in the past, if it becomes too much of a thorn for
them, the ability to use such a service is often removed.
When I am in Auckland next I will bring some gear up and see what I
can discover.
I can run mobile from my van, and while I don't have a DF, I can work
out where they are and what their mod levels are.

For anyone interested in NZ radio nostalgia...

http://nzradiofan.googlepages.com/home

We've got thousands of bumper sticker scans from NZ radio stations on
display, plus there's a monthly audio feature where you can hear a
montage of jingles, trailers and other identification from a chosen
radio station.  Check it out now, and please share the link with your
friends and colleagues.

We're also looking to add more LPFM station logos to our website.  If
your LPFM station has a sticker available, we'd love to receive a
copy.  Alternatively, a scan of your station's current (or previous)
logos would be appreciated.  Find out how to contribute via the above
link.

Thanks for your interest.

Hi Matt
I'm a radio ham and have done fox hunts before.
I used a hand held radio and unscrewed the aerial and
walked/drove around till I could pick up a signal with no
aerial.
How that relates to LPFM... if your car radio Aerial slides
into the pillar... tune into them... drive around till you
pick em up... try frequencies 0.1 mhz above and below their
frequency... you should be able to work out their location
down to 2 or 3 streets maximum.
Try it on your own transmitter to find out how far you can
pick up your signal etc.
(Or you could Fly all us LPFM people to Auckland and we
could go door to door with baseball bats etc- Just kidding)

Cheers
Geoff

Still haven't been able to identify this station.

I listened a lot in the weekend, and didn't hear a single station ID.

Volume is very loud (overmodulating at times), and they are causing
interference well into the CBD and up Ponsonby road... Considering I
transmit from Newton Rd/near Ponsonby road area, they must be putting out
one hell of a lot of power to be doing that from Takapuna.

Would really appreciate any information anyone might have about this new
station, or any ideas on how to locate them.

Hi Everyone.

My station turns 1 year old on July 1st.
I'm trying to get as many people as possible to record a quick (around
10 seconds) cold voice liner wishing us a Happy First Birthday. :)
No rules on what you say, just end on '88.4FM The Cheese'.

If anyone would like to take part, please send me a birthday greeting
to : birthdaygreetings@...

These will play on rotate throughout July.  Would be great to have
everyone take part :)

Cheers,
Grant

Hmmm, another situation in which a direction finder would be useful...
*runs off to look for plans* LOL

Hi Matt

The station is somewhere in the vicinity of Takapuna Grammar School but more West towards Hauraki, Belmont. Not as far South as Devonport. It is very strong, not on a high point and therefore a little suspect. I also haven't heard any station id's.

mS or uS?

Time constant is 50uS, just need to be sure we are dealing with the
right units here.

Hi Michael,
Its not quite that simple because the components depend on the type
of
circuit and the impedance at the point it is inserted. It means we
insert components to increase the gain at 3183 Hz. Components that
will
do this can consist of a large capacitor and small resistor or a
large
resistor and a small capacitor. Here are two sets of values that give
the 50mS - a 680ohm resistor in series with a 10nF capacitor. Another
combination would be a 1.5k ohm resistor in series with a 4.7nF
capacitor. The first one would be better in a lower impedance
circuit.
Other values could be used in a higher impedance circuit e.g. 6.8k
ohm and a 1nF capacitor - all have a time constant of approx 50mS.

Typical. Because they can't deal with the issue of illegal downloads
and piracy they start looking elsewhere for money and try to change a
system that's been working extremely well for many years. If they
start trying to extract large amounts of money out of radio stations
they'll shoot themselves in the foot.

Hello-

Could someone please advise me what component values are necessary to obtain
50ms pre-emphasis?

Thanks in anticipation.

Michael

Artists and Labels seek Royalties from Radio:

Does anybody have any information regarding a new Indian/Hindi station
broadcasting on 107.7 from the North Shore in Auckland?

At this point I'm suspecting somewhere near Devonport.

I haven't yet caught any station ID, so if anyone can point me at a
contact there, I'd love to get in touch.

Cheers.

Why would you want to PLAY the Blue Monkey on air?
The CD works much better as a coffee coaster.

If you really want it, email me.

Hey Geoff, how's things up there? How did you go with looking at building a phone hybrid, I think that's what you were up to when we caught up while passing through JayCar a few months back?

 

Do you still have Chris's personal email? If so, contact him, as he's currently in contact with the person I think you need to pass you comments on to.

 

BTW, Chris' 107.3 Classic Gold from down here in Invervagas is now on the former Life Mosgiel LPFM frequency up there. The Tieri Herald published an article I think last week about Chris and Peter. Peter being the man I think you want to talk or put you in touch with the right people.

 

Best to email Chris though first off list.

 

Cheers,

Gavin,

Invercargill.

Subject: [LPFM] Life FM using LPFM frequencies in Dunedin area

Hi There
Does anyone know how to contact the Life FM people?

Life FM now has a full powered FM frequency in the Dunedin area
(94.2fm). They used to use 88.3 in mosgiel and 107.3 in the North
Dunedin area.

They started on the 94.2 frequency in March or there abouts. But there
LPFM frequency was still being used by them a few weeks afterwards. I
think they may have shut down for a while but it seems to be going again.

Does anyone know who to contact about it? (Apart from the obvious Radio
Spectrum Management) Because it is tying up a frequency that could be
used by another operator in Dunedin/Mosgiel. I think a guy that has a
computer shop in Mosgiel might have something to do with it? The 88.3
transmission is "Splattering into the south Dunedin area on anything
from 88.1 through to 88.5 fm (in stereo) so their transmitter must be
wide banded or over modulated?

Cheers
Geoff Barkman

Give Radio Rhema in Auckland a call.

As far as I know Life FM is managed by Aaron Ironside - a former Radio Hauraki
DJ turned preacher.
Failing that Rob Holding at Radio Rhema runs a LPFM station in the next suburb
to here. He'll probably know something.
