Greetings Listeners,
One of our presenters on Oamaru Heritage Radio retired last month and was promptly given a Waitaki Citizens' Award by the Mayor of the Waitaki District Council for his good works. Well done Ron Harris, the breakfast session man.
Our studio is at 6 Itchen Street in Oamaru, and anytime you are down that end of town and you see the door open, drop in. Say Hullo to the presenter on duty. Have a good look around - there's quite a bit of interesting stuff on display there.

Here's another 13 week schedule.
Biggles has concluded, and Bob Geldof's Africa will finish during this term. The book to follow Geldof is Seasons Of My Life, by Hannah Hauxwell.
Hancock is still with us at 6 pm, and I think that after the term of this schedule, I'll be able to come up with some Christmas editions of Hancock. 
Good listening!

Greetings.
The programme for Tuesday evenings, June, July, August 2016 is presented below.
A while back I played the G & S opera Princess Ida, not realising it was on 4, not 2 sides of an LP. I've been unable to locate sides 3 and 4. If anyone has this LP and would lend it to me, I (and probably my listeners) would be most grateful. We could then bring Princess Ida to a satisfactory conclusion.

During the next 3 months, the basic programme continues; that is at 5.30 the Biggles serial is played; at 6 we have Hancocks Half Hour starring the lad himself; and at 9 we carry on with Geldof in Africa.
Biggles finishes towards the end of August and the 5.30 slot will be used for children's stories and songs.
At around 5.25 I read out the newsletter from Hampden School if there is one to hand. Some weeks there's not. And sometimes around this time, I put in a short story

Note that Bob Geldof, while reading from his book, will use language unbecoming of Oamaru Heritage Radio. I can't do anything about the language, except warn listeners that the reading may contain it.

The 7.30 slot "Concert Piece" will feature:- Paint your Wagon, Scherezade, Cinderella, a Mozart concerto, a Vivaldi concerto, Grieg's symhonic pieces, a stage play by Frank Loesser, popular classical piano tunes for 3 hands, music by Sibelius and Shostakovich, a programme of waltzes, a programme of ballet, show pieces for orchestra and a Haydn symphony. There's something there for everyone.

Remember that anyone may become a presenter on Oamaru Heritage Radio. If you have a love of heritage music or other broadcastable material and want to share you enthusiasm, then get in touch with the station and find out the details of what it takes. Tuition in voice and equipment is given.

Should you notice that the Moeraki transmitter is off the air, then give the station a ring. It can't be picked up in Oamaru, so the Moeraki transmitter is not monitored. OHR's hone number ir 434036two. Please do not ring while I am on air, as being deaf, I am unable to use a telephone. Therefore you call will be unanswered.


Oamaru Heritage Radio, Tuesdays’ programmes in advance
Oamaru 88.3 & Hampden/Moeraki 107 fm. Tuesday evening, 4pm to 10pm. Updates and alterations will be posted here  For details on how to get us on internet and listen through your Pc, send an email to ohr at xtra.co.nz

March to May, 2016: The 5.30 slot for younger ears is taken up with a story from the Biggles series by Capt WE Johns. Recent comments about these stories accuse the author of sexism, racism, facism and probably a few other 'isms' as well. However, let us not forget that we are a "Heritage" radio station, and programmes such as Biggles form part of our heritage, do they not?. I have been known to play cigarette comercials. We grew up in a world where it was smart to be a smoker - even if a few of us didn't fall for the tobacco hype and abstained from this weed.
A change in broadcasting standards in recent years has seen an influx of language that would never be heard in times gone by. The new book reading by Bob Geldof called 'Geldof in Africa' contains language I don't approve of, but by today's standards, is acceptable. I have been in touch with the Broadcasting Standards Authority about this, and their response is that it's ok to play this material, but advisable to make a warning before playing. I guess this is heritage stuff in the making.
Be Warned.

***Language Warning; This programme contains language some may find undesirable. This warning applies to all episodes

Just putting together the programme for the 13 weeks after the current schedule expires.
The Navy Lark series I've been playing at 6 pm came to me in 2 packets. I played the last episode of the first series last Tuesday (Feb 9th) and decided we'll take a break from this programme for a while rather than commence series 2 (which is about another 80 episodes long).
So, instead I'm going to play some episodes of Hancock's Half Hour. These feature the Lad himself, Sid James, Bill Kerr and one of Hattie Jaques, Andree Melee, or Moira Lister, and were first broadcast in the late 50s early 60s..
On Feb 16th the episode  of Hancock is called "The Idol", on the 23rd it's "The New Car" and on March 1st it is "Cinderella Hancock". The full list of episodes will go up within a week or 2 when I publish the programme schedule up early June.
I read in the Oamaru weekly news-sheet 'The Telegram' that our transmitter at Moeraki has been re-instated. This is good news for local residents, but I can't figure out why neither I nor the local newspaper, the "Hamraki Rag" was notified. The transmitting frequency is still 107.0 fm.
Stay Tuned!
Trevor

The news is not good.
In October the antenna on Moeraki 107 fm was destroyed by wind. The 'powers that be' have decided not to reinstate it and have taken the transmitter off site. They decided the transmitter had no listeners, as no-one had notified the station about the lack of signal..
The main transmitter on Cape Wanbrow at 88.3 is still operational. (Moeraki was a 'slave' to this one, as is a 107 transmitter at the north end of Oamaru). Listeners in Moeraki/Hampden who wish to tune in to 88.3 and are in a higher location, will still be able to hear Oamaru Heritage Radio, bur perhaps not a strong as previously
My programme TREVOR'S TUESDAY VARIETY TIME on Tuesday nights will continue, and I shall keep posting the details on this blog. But the regular monthly updates in the Hamraki Rag will cease.
Happy listening, and remember that if you too, wish to present your own programme, get in touch with us --Oamaru Heritage Radio, 6 Itchen St, Oamaru, ph 4340 362 .

Oamaru Heritage Radio is a small volunteer run station with a studio in Itchen Street, and transmitters in Oamaru and Moeraki. Some of its programmes are picked up by other stations through the country (eg Palmerston, Twizel, Culverden, Feilding) and rebroadcast, thus spreading the Heritage signal further afield.

At present the Station is seeking applications from people interested enough in their music to take over the studio at various times. Most of the available slots for programme presenters are early and mid-evening slots. Most sessions are about 2 or 3 hours long.

The big fear people have is the fear of the microphone. Don't worry – it sorts itself out. All that's needed is a love of one or more genres of music and you want to share your love with others, the ability to learn to operate a very basic mixing desk, and a weekly commitment to a given time slot. The Station has ample stocks of CDs for all musical tastes, so you don't need to supply your own CDs.

If you wish to try this, then call in at the Station at 6 Itchen Street to pick up an introductory brochure, or phone the studio, 4340362 and ask for a brochure to be posted to you.

Tuesday evenings on Heritage Radio are fully formatted, but very few of other programmers do this.

The Station is on air for 24 hours a day and can be heard on 88.3 and 107, both of which are in the Fm band. It is an LPFM (Low power fm) station, legally limited to no more than 1 watt of output on 107, and 3 watts on 88.3. So- the range is not great!

For internet streaming, send an email to ohr@xtra.co.nz to get the right link.

Happy Listening -(Note, this blog is fully and carefully formatted before "Publish" is clicked on. It gets moved around after that and gives the appearnace it's not been prepared properly.)
