Interesting RT catch on Collie community radio 101.3. Christmas day pre-recorded voiceovers and announcements where described in the RT stream. Sreen captured a church service announcement, previous to that it displayed ‘intro’ then ‘airnews’.
Collie community radio also have track info in the RT stream, which updates seconds after a new track starting, and a ridiculously long station name, COLLIE COMMUNITY RADIO 101.3. Some talanted volunteers at the station to get this working quite well. Captured using the Samsung radio app.
I find this a cruel irony when an FM service switches on in the space of TV audio carrier.
Happened in Nthn Tas too.
It would not have been too much to ask to continue the audio carrier beyond ATV closure, it’s likely been relied upon in times of emergency. 0.8 of a MhZ is not much out of what was 7MhZ blanked out.
I miss driving around the Hunter and not being able to tune into NBN news at 6pm.
Yes, The Wave has RDS.
Many SW WA community stations were given AM allocations and held off until FM became available to launch due to the cost of AM sites.
Of course, Collie, very isolated and with its commercial station taken over with Bunbury programming had a need of a big gap to fill.
3rd commercial licence, Spirit on AM 621 should be converted to FM. ABA planning documents acknowledged the lack of FM space at the time, preventing an FM allocation for auction.
I imagine 4WK 95.5 runs the same ads and programming as 95.9 Dalby, 91.5 Stanthorpe and 963AM Warwick? So it wouldn’t be to differentiate the feed on any way?
No I was simply waiting for someone to notice hehehe
This happened just before I went on my Xmas holiday’s
So you know which FM translator your tuned into… For example in a car like my BMW 318i that has RDS but only gives the Station Name and nothing else, the only thing it said was “4WK” so me and Batch decided we could fit “4WK 95.5” without any dramas so that’s what we changed it to.
This also sets the example for if we decide to put RDS on the other translators
We also cleaned up some of the text so it is a bit shorter and a little cleaner such as changing “…4 W K” in the scrolling text back to "…4WK
Yeah all fed by the same Point to Multi Point IP link therefore exact same audio to all
Nope just me been a pain in the arse to poor Batch and wanting things to always sound, look or work that little bit better
Yeah still doing radio related stuff but, like catching up with some ham Friend’s and checking the old AM sites I looked after before moving.
Still got the Lancer with the 7 antennas on it but going to trade it on eventually I reckon
Will be sure to pass it on
Thanks mate I enjoy what I do as work and it all works out to make things better in the long run, and me and Batch get along great which also helps and makes the work environment much happier
My car radio switched to KIIS 106.5 the other day automatically for a traffic announcement. But they were in the middle of a song. Would’ve my car radio just decoded a false signal? Has this happened to anyone else?
Noted today that 92.1 2MFM have RT as: Muslim Community Radio
I’m not sure how long this has been the case. Noted it was absent from the Australian RDS List. Now updated.
No audio from the station after storm. Seams to be a regular problem of audio loss from station.
No Internet audio steam either. Link?
Noted today during a DX opening to Adelaide that 103.9 5ABCFM appeared to have a static PS rather than dynamic. Has this changed re Australian RDS list? It could have been that my PS display was stuck on ‘classic’ only due to fading signal. Would welcome feedback from one of the SA Redback dxers.
but going to trade it on eventually I reckon
