Kia ora from one of the 'away' studios of Oamaru Heritage Radio. Thanks to the wonders worked by our tech wizard, not all presenters now have to physically be in the Itchen Street Studio. I, for one, don't have to leave my house, 100 km north of Oamaru, to be able to bring you my weekly offering.
Sometimes things go wrong.
Two weeks ago, I turned the microphone on as the intro theme finished, and --nothing. Eventually I set up a jury rig that I've been using in the interim, and although it works, it's not ideal.
Everything should be back in order next Tuesday (April 23rd). I hope so.

Please note that my email address for communications about Oamaru Heritage Radio is
ohr at mail.com.
This is distinct from the address for listening to our radio station, which is
www.ohr.nz. Don't mix the two up.
Here's what's in store for the next 12 weeks:
