Hi Hauraki and competition fans.....first up, we've got a great new

details....

The Original Hauraki 'Good Guys' will be broadcasting live from
todays Radio 
Hauraki throughout the day on Friday, November 10 [NZT], and you can
listen 
from anywhere in the world at www.hauraki.co.nz......you'll hear

Paul ['I love you Mum & Dad'] Lineham, Ian Ferguson, Fred Botica,
Ross Goodwin, 
Ian Magan, Chris Parkinson, Bob Leahy, Tom Bradley and many
others...great 
memories, great music, the original jingles and much more.......

Radio New Zealand's National Radio 101FM also presents a special 
documentary 'The Story of Radio Hauraki' with archival recordings and
new 
interviews....listen to 'Musical Chairs' with Trevor Reekie at 3.30pm
on 
Saturday November 11 [NZT and date], and repeated at 7.30pm on Friday

podcasts. David Gapes and Denis O'Callahan will feature....thanks to
Liisa 
McMillan of National Radio 101 for this information.......

Former Hauraki engineer Chris Prouse is causing a stir in
Auckland...he's 
demanding that local museum MOTAT front up with the original Hauraki 
transmitter that was deposited there for safekeeping....and that
MOTAT now says 
it can't find....so, if you've seen a giant and very heavy radio
transmitter 
around MOTAT, let Chris know!

The original 1480 transmitter was to be a centerpiece at the 40th
anniversary 
exhibition at the NZ National Maritime Museum in Auckland which opens
this 
weekend and runs for three months.

We've still got a few sets of our Radio Hauraki Memorabilia packages
left and 
one can be yours as a thank you gift in return for a donation of just
