Acouple of issues ago we mentioned about Low-powered FM broadcasts here
in New Zealand.
After making intensive enquiries to the New Zealand Ministry of Commerce
- Radio Frequency Service, both in Wellington and Locally in Napier, the
response was the Same:
ENG 3/2/RFS29 - AJD
13 March 1997
Dear Mr Barclay
Thankyou for your letter of 28 February regarding the use of low-powered
radio transmitters in the frequency bands 88 - 89 MHz and 100 - 101 MHz.
Your understanding of the situation is basically correct, and there are
a number of approved devices available commercially that have been
granted an exemption from licensing. These transmitters may be used with
a maximum radiated power of 300mW eirp in the frequency ranges 88.2 MHz
to 8.8 MHz, and 100.2 MHz to 100.8 MHz. They are NOT permitted to cause
interferance to any licensed service and must tolerate any interferance
caused to them
There are NO restrictions on the installation and operation of these
devices, other than those stated above. As a user you may install one
without notifying the Ministry...
Sincerely...
So yes we ARE looking into this for FM - a series of relay stations??
who knows.

>From Radio Free London Comes:
>>Hello Everyone,
We had a very good reaction to the past weekend's broadcasts
with 14 phone calls to the station, most of which were from
listeners that we have never heard from before. This is also good
news as we use a cellular telephone and calls to us are not
always cheap. Thanks to everyone who called in. We also had
4 Emails from new listeners who have now been added to our
address book.
Radio Free London was heard again in America with a SIO 222
on 6400, proving that low power can make it across "The Pond"
Our test on 5805 was also a great success with good signal's
heard across the UK and Europe, the power used for this test
was 15 watts. It would be nice to see other stations make use of
this part of the band and move away from the now overcrowded
48m/b only for the fact that coverage seemed very good, although
most of the listeners would find it hard for them to tune away from
48m, this is of course very narrow minded but a fact ! I know other
stations have tested there in the past, it's a pity they didn't stick
with it. Remember most people thought WNKR and Radiofax were
mad when they started broadcasting on 76m, now it is Europe's
second pirate band and well used. We are going to try and add
5805 to our coming Easter weekend broadcast if we can get around
to doing it in time.
Enquires about our relay service is now getting out of hand, as most
of the former outlets in Holland and Germany have been taken off the
air with raids and we are the only station offering a nonstop relay of
24 hours, of which we charge a price for. This is of course very good
for the RFL bank balance but it is becoming a major headache. We
could do two things, get super-greedy and put the price up or say
enough is enough and say NO..........I think the latter is probable and
only time will tell.
We are on air next all over the Easter weekend on both of our
frequencies for 96 hours nonstop, starting on Thursday evening
March 27th.
RFL Leading to way in Europe with longer broadcasting hours and
keeping the true spirit of "Free Radio" alive in 1997.
A Brief History
===========
RADIO FREE LONDON was originally established in August 1968
by former "Radio Caroline" presenters who put the station on the air
on the first anniversary of the British MOA, the act which outlawed
the UK based Offshore Radio station's of the 60's. After only a few
month's and a listenership of over 100,000 people the station fell
apart and disappeared from the capital's airwaves in 1969. It did
return for a one off broadcast on FM, only hours before the launch of
the local BBC station "Radio London" but was not heard on a regular
bases again until March 17th 1973, when it started weekly
transmissions every Saturday evening with original 60's
member Mark Ashton and regular pirate broadcaster from that period,
Kenny Myres.
The heyday of RFL was between 1978-1983 when it broadcast
a rock format to London every Sunday from the high rise tower
blocks of down town South London with a very slow reel-to-reel
machine carrying the 14+ hours of programming on FM.
The station came and went throughout the 80's and early 90's
and was revived on a regular bases again in April 94 with a twice
weekly broadcast of three hours on Wednesday and Sunday evenings
on 99.1 FM with old timers Kenny and Mark and well known voices of the
shortwave scene Jodie (ex Radiofax), Terry Phillips and Andy Walker plus
new boy Eric May, but due to lack of response from the listeners the FM
service was closed and a move to SW was made. From the humble start
of the station on SW and only four hours of broadcasting using a car
battery,
we have now had mains power at our site for a year now and since then we
have broadcast a 24 hour output twice a month. Former "Radio Jackie"
site
member and presenter Tony Randall has joined us after a 20 year break
from free radio and can now be heard on RFL every month.
Mark Ashton has since moved away from London to Kent, but still keeps
in contact and has recently printed our large red car stickers. He has
promised
to do some programs in the future but we are not holding our breath ;>)
RFL can be heard every 1st and 3rd Sunday in the month on 3945 and
6400kHz in parallel.

R. Cochiguaz could not make it to the airwaves before 0110 UTC (March
15th, 1997) due to several reasons! First a rain storm made it
impossible for personel to reach the TX site in time, secondly... the
transmitter don't wanted to work!! It took a time before they could
manage it to work, but finally it did and the program was aired until
the transmitter was switched off at 1001 UTC

>LIST OF BRAZILIAN MEDIUM WAVE, SHORT WAVE AND FM (PREFACE).
Brazil is a country with 3 time zones covering 8.5 million of km(
partially
occupied by over 140 million of inhabitants. The Brazilian culture as
result of the ethnic mix among natives, black and white people, shows a
rich and diverse configuration.
The radio, everywhere in the world is and always was one of the most
important ways of communication to spread a culture. Expressing part of
the Brazilian culture by radio waves, there are over 1585 radio stations
in the Brazilian territory. They are different radio stations, from very
simple to very complex, from commons to complex. Someone who wants to
know something about Brazil, from inside or outside of its borders can
do using a radio receiver.
Therefore, this "List of Brazilian Medium Wave, Short Wave and FM"
created by the master and DX'er Antonio Geraldo Paim da Silva, is a very
important tool to everyone who wants to listen and know the several
"voices" from Brazil, specially to all DX'ers around the world.
As you can see, this is a specialized and unique publication in Brazil.
It's a bilingual publication designed to help DX'ers to obtain fast and
accurate information. As we know, fast and accurate information are
very important for all DX'ers at our shack or going to DX-peditions.
This list is the result of the dedication and persistence of our friend
and
DX'er Antonio Geraldo Paim da Silva. The quality of this material is
unquestionable and deserves a recognition and support of the DX Clube
Paulista, the oldest and biggest DX Club in activity in Brazil.
