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.

Friday, February 12, 2016

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.)

Greetings,
I checked a date on a CD recently to work out when I last played a track from it on OHR, and it was 2007.
Sheesh, - that means I've been on air every Tuesday for 7 or 8 years. In that time I had 2 months in Perth and I've missed a couple of nights at the last minute because of other activities suddenly cropping up, but, it's a wonder I'm not hoarse. I hope you enjoy listening to the programme as I enjoy presenting it.

I think on this blog somewhere you'll find the URL for online listening. Use it and enjoy!

Greetings again:
Apologies for some more mixups with some of the vintage programmes I play. I get them as a complete series with a serial numbering system that is not consecutive, but playing the lower number first all the time should mean they get played in the correct order, and also that episodes don't get repeated. Unfortunately this is not always the case. And I don't find our there's been a foul-up until they get played.
Also, as I am deaf, I often can't hear what's being played, and a duplication could occur without me being aware of it.  Please bear with me if this happens.
Here's the line-up for the next 13 weeks:::  Enjoy, Trevor.
