Gidday,
Things are looking up.
I've been off air for about 6 months, and have slowly been developing one of the rooms of my house as a studio.
The purpose is to be able to produce a programme from here that I can feed into the output of Oamaru Heritage Radio.
Charlie and Eunice already do this with their programmes. They sit in a studio in Invercargill and feed into OHR. Invercargill is about 4 hours away - I am but 90 minutes away from the OHR studio.
Hopefully, by keeping all my fingers crossed, I'll be back on air in the New Year.
In the meantime, if I don't put up another post before Christmas, I hope my readers and listeners have a happy and safe Christmas and New Year.
Cheers,
Trevor

Hello Readers,
I miss not being able to put across a regular radio show.
Having moved to a new location to live, it's not practical to continue my sessions on Oamaru Heritage Radio.
There are plans afoot for me to get back into broadcasting this type of programme again in the future,but it's going to take some time.
So far, I've spent about 8 weeks unpacking at my new residence, and I don't think I am half way through the task yet.
There's just so many records, tapes and cds. Once I get them out of their boxes and onto the shelving, then I have to re-sort them back into their genres.
There's also an estimated tonne (or more) of 78 rpm records. These will all have to be transcribed into digital format, then sent off to landfill. They are available if anyone wants them, but my guess is that they will all end up in landfill.
I am currently having a computer built for me that should be able to handle an on-air and on-line radio station. I take delivery of this next week. But I'm still a few months away from getting it up and running.
Any options or ideas - I'd like to hear them; trevor of hampdenat gma ildo tcom.
Thanks for bearing with me,
Trevor

Update on the previous post
Hi,
Further to the previous post-
For the time being, I am not producing any more radio programmes.
I have notified the Trust that runs Oamaru Heritage Radio to this effect.
It's going to be quite a task organising the articles I’ve taken from a 120 sq
metre house and trying to make them fit into an 80 sq metre house.
When (if) this job is completed I will consider where to next.
I have heard from the Trust that the Moeraki transmitter of OHR is likely to
be turned off due to the extremely low (read ‘non-existant’) listenership. At
a recent public meeting where 55 residents of Hampden/Moeraki of all
ages were present, the question was asked “How many of you have tuned
into Oamaru Heritage Radio from Moeraki?” One person only, responded.
Licence fees cost about $400 a year for this transmitter. That’s a lot of
money for one listener.
The two transmitters (North End and Cape Wanbrow) in Oamaru will
continue to propagate the OHR signal (107 and 88.3 respectively).
Going to the internet address of www.ohr.nz will allow you to listen in,
where-ever in the world you may be. But I won’t be there.
So, farewell dear Listener, until we meet again. And I hope we do.
Any comments or enquiries-- I'd be pleased to hear them.
Email me, trevorofhampden at gmail dotcom
Happy trails,
Trevor

Nothing to report yet for June or July
Greetings.
As of early June I am changing my address. ( I mentioned this back last Spring when I put my house on the market.)
Alot of work has to be done to be able to meet the carrier's deadline, and I won't have time to prepare or present a radio programme.
When installed at my new address, again there will be alot of work to do to set up a studio 'desk' for putting a programme out into the Oamaru Heritage Radio transmissions. I figure it could be 5 or 6 weeks before everything falls into place.
Then, when everything's hunky-dory, I'll be back on air with my regular programme
I am hoping that the 5.30 Biggles serial will continue to get played in my absence- it's due to finish sometime in November if it's played to its regular schedule.
The 9pm book reading has stalled at the midway point. It is 8 episodes on and the second lot of 8 episodes will be heard when I get back on air.
I would like, if the powers that be are amenable to also introduce new programmes. One would be a programme of jazz of the period 1920 to 1950, and the other, a programme of drama, comedies and documentary from the archives of wireless.
My email address remains the same trevorofhampden at gmail.com. Contact me and tell me what you want to hear. I can't promise anything, I play what I like, but I'm open to ideas.
If you want to play what you like, why not join the staff at OHR. Give them a bell at 034340362 or use the 'contact us' part on the web page, www.ohr.nz (from where you can have your computer tuned into OHR).
Happy Trails, Trevor.

Welcome to the first post for 2018.
New Years Eve went ok and I had a lot of messages about the lively 50s/60s/70/s music - all favourable.
Here's the programme until early June.
Going through most of the year at 5.30 is a serial in 37 parts -The Air Adventures of Biggles. This is the 3rd and last of these Biggles stories I have. I hope you enjoy it.
There is no problem finding material for the 6.30 slot from the archives of wireless, nor the programmes from the Silver Fern Tape Recording Club at around 8pm or so. I recently had an email from one of the past members of the Club who thought it was a good idea to play these quirky items.
After the book "The Harp in The South" has been read, the next book "The Promise Of The Wolves" will be read. It's in 16 parts.
Happy Listening,
Trevor
