Hard to have sympathy for a station that loses a licence after multiple breaches. Now, if only commercial stations were treated the same.

I also I posted some info about this in the RDS forum.
Itâs a challenge looking through all the licencing detail on the ACMA website for all the 89.9 Hawkesbury TCBLâers.

7 community groups over 7 days on the same frequency⌠yeah a bit much, and a first of its kind in community radio history I believe?⌠but could be wrong and happy to be corrected if not the case.

@Alex_Aliheim No wonder itâs difficult, itâs no more than a day hijacked by US consumerism. We donât need a commercial Halloween day here in Australia.
Puerile, unnecessary and wasteful consumerism.

I was wanting to listen to or view (RDS) the next chapter of dummy spit radio in the Hawkesbury. So far just an open carrier on 89.9 & surprisingly no stereo carrier either in Hawkesbury Goldâs timeslot.
Update: Now dead air, no signalâŚ

I note this evening that theyâre back on air, but Angels song still stuck on the iHeart Radio stream. Iâll try to have another listen tomorrow morning.
I was going to listen on their website, but the Pulse FM website Security Certificate has expired.

Very Odd re Pulse FM, Websites down, streams down and all of yesterdays broadcast it was on the fall back audio, nothing from Pulse at all.
Their main server is http://thassos.cdnstream.com:5307 which has been down since Monday.
Thereâs still a few updates on Facebook, but odd they didnât think to mention any of these disruptions.
Maybe they got rejected by ACMA like I reckon Hawkesbury Gold did, so they have up and cleared out.
Edit:
Currently both WHCR and the fallback playlist the Pulse FM was playing while offline are on at the same time, I would say Joe Safi from WHCR has hooked his transmitter into the same power outlet at Pulse FM and turned them both on by accident.
Edit 2:
Video for those interested:

Busco just played some George Carlin on SWR 99.9. Something youâd probably not hear on other stations. Iâm all for it.
Maybe weâll get to hear Seven Dirty Words at some point in the future.

If only the stream for Hawkesbury Radio worked then it would be on pretty much every radio streaming platformâŚ
Nice bus, would look good with a community radio plus app sticker on it 
If the tech peeps at CBAA had fixed it when I made them aware âmonths agoâ I could of gotten a sticker made up for the HR bus⌠oh well

I noticed that Community Radio Plus now works in the car - at least Carplay.
Currently it seems that you can only see stations near you plus any you have saved. I couldnât immediately see any way to browse all stations.
