Hi all,
After 9 months away from the microphone, I'm back into it.
I'll carry on with the same format - it's one I've got used to, and there have been no complaints from listeners about it. In fact, quite the opposite. Listeners seem to appreciate the varied format.
It has taken me quite a bit of time to settle in to my new abode and establish a radio station studio within it. Fortunately, I had some very good help.
My personal studio is 100 km away from the radio station's studio, so no longer can local listeners just drop in on me. Listeners from far and wide who've been catching the programme in the past over the internet have not had this option anyway, but it's still good to know you are there. Drop me a line anyway: trevorofhampden at gmail.com. Sorry, but internet listeners are not eligible for QSL cards.

Here is the intended programme to early May.
The book reading from 'The Promise of the Wolves' concludes and its place is taken by Bruce Mason's famous NZ work, 'The End of the Golden Weather'. This is in 6 parts.
I am getting to the end of my supply of episodes of "I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again", so I'm looking for a series to slot in at 6 pm.
(The formatting fault in the left hand margin {if it shows up} is beyond my ken.- sorry.)

Huh? I came to post an update and got a message from Google - something to do with me putting cookies on this site, and I have warn visitors that they are there..
I don't add anything that you can't see. If there are cookies, they are put there by Google, not me. 
To me, cookies are to be eaten!

Anyway....
I have good news. The Oamaru Heritage Radio techie paid a visit yesterday (Wednesday 13th Feb) and sorted out my wiring, plugs, sockets, connections, and equipment so that it should all work.
Tonight I'll give it a test drive after the studio has closed for the night, and if it works, (as it should), I'll be back into my regular Tuesday broadcasts from the studio in my own home next week.
So, next Tuesday, 19th Feb, I'll be back on air on Oamaru Heritage Radio with a 6 hour programme that will more or less be a test drive.
I shall nut out a 13 week schedule soon that will incorporate more or less the same programmes I've used in the past, and post it on this site shortly.

Oamaru Heritage Radio has a main studio at 6 Itchen Street in Oamaru and broadcasts in Oamaru on 88.3 and 107.0, and also in Moeraki on 107.0. Its programmes are relayed at times through stations in Invercargill and Twizel. The station has satellite studios in a residence in Oamaru, Lignite Radio in Invercargill and now, in Temuka (me).
It may be heard anywhere in the world, at any time through the internet by going to its website at www.ohr.nz.

Happy listening - whereever you may be!
Trevor.
