[cma-l] FM transmitter ideas

Fri Aug 11 09:55:44 BST 2017

Hello Jonathan

I would suggest the first port of call, would be to talk to whoever manages radio transmitting licences on the island. 

Given that you should be able to manage that easily, it comes down to what frequency they decide you can use, as to what equipment you need.

Also, you could talk to the ham radio folks on the island, as they may also be able to help with that. There are three who are quite active (ZD7VC, ZD7BG and ZD7FT) and I’m guessing you may know them anyway.

I want the solution for the Island of St or Saint Helena you are correct.

I am not sure if the location makes a different.

I don't think it is clear that you are on the island of St. Helena and not an island around the British Isles.

All after a successful response to my last request about outside broadcast options I am now encouraged to ask even more questions here to help what is probably the most remote station on this forum.

We broadcast on FM locally on Island at Saint FM <http://www.saint.fm/>  and we are investigating the purchase of a small reliable low powered 12-volt 7 – 10-watt transmitter <http://www.elecsky.com/cze7c-kit-7w-pll-fm-broadcast-transmitterantennapower-supply-p-18.html>  that will allow us to send a live transmissions from around town back to the station eg. Powering it from a mobile setup eg a 12-volt supply.

Do you have any ideas to share any recommendations?

Also, we are on the lookout for another back up 240v at least 50-watt transmitter for one of our rural broadcast areas do any of you still use old school FM transmission.

Do you have one set in your storerooms collecting dust again?

SME recommendations welcome.
