NUMBER NINE - VOLUME THREE
September 21st 1997
Hello and welcome
There was a successfull broadcast on Sunday September 14th on 7475 KHz
USB from Radio RJK, MEGA SHORTWAVE and of course KIWI Radio. We ended up
losing 30 minutes of Radio RJK programming due to a "tight" time frame
in which to broadcast in, which resulted in the
programme line-up being: 06.30-06.45 Radio RJK
06.45-07.45 KIWI Radio
07.45-08.15 MEGA Shortwave
08.15-08.30 Radio RJK
We hope that those that heard the programmes enjoyed them.
The contact addresses are: Radio RJK / MEGA Shortwave
P O Box 16-002, Tamatea, Napier
New Zealand
KIWI Radio:
P O Box 3103, Onekawa, Napier,
New Zealand
RETURN POSTAGE IS APPRECIATTED - THANKS !!.
We here at the WEEKLY are also about to introduce the world of
"MICRO-BROADCASTING" as it is known in the USA. Here in
New Zealand and other countries it is known simply as "LOW POWERED FM".
In New Zealand this form of Broadcasting is permitted under the New
Zealand Department of Commerce, Radio Frequency Service Regulations.
"Low Powered FM" broadcasting is covered in the Section of the
regulations known as RFS29 of the Broadcasting Act.
This section allows for the use of FM transmitting devices up to the max
allowable output of 300 mw EIRP. No Licences are needed, and the Radio
Frequency Service does Not have to be informed, although we believe they
should be told by the operators, so that they - the Radio Frequency
Service Know what is happening, and who is on what frequency, Just a
small point of politness that can prevent possible major problems later
on.
The Frequencies here in New Zealand for this type of broadcast are:
88.20 - 88.80 MHz and 100.20 - 100.80 MHz range.
The comment from the Radio Frequency Service is: They are Not allowed to
cause interferance to any "Licensed Service", and must tolerate
interferance caused to them.
Already there are a number of stations operating this way to broadcast,
using relays that pick the original signal and repeat it on a different
frequency, therefore increasing their range.
Included in this, is Hawke's Bay where there is already a station
operating in this way ( Not connected with us ).
The Station operated by KIWI Radio, and Radio Sue will also be operating
in this frequency range competing with the existing operation, on the
same frequencies of 88.60 MHz and 100.60 MHz.
The name for our NEW station is SOUNDWAVE FM - Hawke's Bay, and we are
due to start 24 hour broadcasting on October 1st 1997.
In the USA "Microbroadcasting has been around for many a year with
famous stations like Free Radio Berkley, and Black Liberation Radio
being a couple of fore-runners in Micro-Broadcasting.
For those who would like to learn more about a couple of these stations
here are some WWW sites for you to go to:

Hello, everyone. I found this sad message from Bryan Clark in New
Zealand in my e-mail, and when I did not see it on the newsgroup,
I thought that I had better pass it on. Sad to say, one of the
legends of shortwave and mediumwave DXing, Arthur Cushen, M.B.E.,
is gone after fighting bone cancer for many years.
If you would like to get in touch with Arthur's wife by snail mail
with a card, her address is:
Ralda Cushen
212 Earn Street
Invercargill
New Zealand
E-mail messages may be passed on to Bryan Clark, who will give them
to Ralda.

For those of you who may not have heard, a legend in the shortwave
listening field passed away on Friday at 8:30 a.m. EDT. I grew up
reading Arthur Cushin's articles and intercepts and I can truly say
that
it had a profound influence on my early years in the radio hobby.
We have truly lost a great and caring man who devoted his life to the
radio hobby. Rest in peace my friend.
