Hi I have got my Radio Station going now, But, it is hardly a radio
station at the moment because we havn't quite got a FM Transmitter, but
we are transmitting it on the internet via our webiste: www.wirs.co.nr.
If anyone has/knows anyone with a very cheap FM Radio Transmitter
please contact me as this would be very appreciated. Thanks any way
check out the site have a listen to Wirs if it is on (we sometimes are
closed due to other work hours but will get this fixed at a later date).

Thanks Bye.

When commercial operators can't get their act together I doubt that
LPFM operators would stand much chance of knowing what's required in
an emergency.

When I started in broadcast engineering back in the mid-80s, a
condition of gaining a broadcasting licence was that your station MUST
have back-up power in the form of a generator, both at the studios and
at the transmitter site.

It seems all that has gone by the board now.

In the recent storms of July this year, I was in the centre of the
action on the Coromandel, where there was a lot of destruction, trees
down all over the place, flooding, roofs torn off, power lines down
and general mayhem.

The local commercial FM station, it appears, does not even have a
standby generator.
With power cut to the town, their studios were silent. (TX was still
up as it is on the other side of the harbour where power was not
affected).

So much for Civil Defence saying to "Listen to your local radio
station for information in an emergency"!

I know of many commercial stations that don't have any form of back-up
power, not even the ability to wheel out a portable generator and plug
it into their distribution board.

When we do have a real major emergency in this country the wheels are
going to fall off, because few people are prepared.

I am going to be contacting CD about this very issue.

possible as part of the GURL in my opinion. Even if it's a requirement

Hi Mike

A friend of mine has commented on the response to the recent
large earthquakes in the southern ocean and the possible
tsunami threat to Invercargill:

http://wildland.owdjim.gen.nz/?p=457

I'm not going to pass any comment on Ken's observations, but
it may be a bit of "food for thought" on how much effort RNZ
is putting into Civil Defense :-(

Cheers, Chris

As a member of the Invercargill Civil Defence rescue and responce team (and someone trying to set up a LPFM station down here!), I'll chip in on this.

 

In any event where Civil Defence is called out, I'd suggest taking your stations offline. This means one less room/building that is being powered in what could be an unstable building. Until your studio and its building has been checked out by a structural engineer and an electrician you have no idea what state the building or its power system is in. In these situations too, power supplies are regularly shut down too, rendering your station useless anyway.

 

The last thing you want to do in an emergency is dash down to your station (if noone is there) to change it across to National Radio after an event like an earthquake.
 

Anyway, thats my two cents. Good idea, but I don't think its practical.

Hi Ross
Yes the increase to 1 watt will be nice :) Maybe that might be an early
Christmas Present for us all.
But it is nice that LPFM has in someway helped to reunite a family.

I'm sure with the proposed increase to 1 watt, that might help us to
reunite more families. Because isn't that what community based LPFM
is..... Radio for the people.

Cheers
Geoff Barkman.

AMENDED RULES OF THE SOCIETY OF LOW POWER FM BROADCASTERS INCORPORATED

A new copy of The "RULES OF THE Society of Low Power FM Broadcasters
Incorporated" has been posted in the "Files" section of this
discussion group.

The document has been amended. There is a change to Section 18.1
"AUDITOR":

The sentence:

"The Auditor shall be appointed by the Society on an annual basis to
carry out the functions set out in this Rule"

has been amended to read as follows":

"The Auditor shall be appointed by the Society on an annual basis to
carry out the functions set out in this Rule, unless the Annual
General Meeting or a Special General Meeting requests otherwise."

This change was adopted at our last AGM, and will give the Society
scope to dispense with the cost of an Auditor by way of a vote at an
AGM or SGM.  In other words, it gives the Society the option to opt
out of the requirement for an Audit on each occasion where one would
otherwise be required, thereby saving several hundred dollars.

On the other hand, the cost to the Society for preparing the annual
financial statement (NOT an AUDIT) for the year ending 31 March 2005
audit was $270. The Society is grateful to Ann Dew, who offered to
prepare our financial statements at no charge, and prepared our 31
March 2006 statement.



Sincerely,
Peter Shaw
Secretary
The Society of Low Power FM Broadcasters Incorporated
Auckland
