Zender Postoffice to launch

After the success of the test transmissions over the last week of Zender Postoffice, it will launch on Sunday 18th July at 18:00 UTC (19:00 UK time - 7pm).

The website is http://www.zenderpostoffice.co.cc
The email address is: zenderpost@hotmail.com

After the launch, transmissions will be at random times, apart from a few scheduled programmes. Reception reports are very welcome indeed.

Zender Postoffice testing today, 27th June 2010

Zender Postoffice will again (hopefully) have a test transmission today, probably starting between 17:00 and 18:00 UTC (6pm-7pm UK time BST).

Online only.

Also, if my parents go out in the afternoon, i will probably be on air then as well.

Online only, with the overflow stream off. If I am on twice today, and the first test goes well, I will probably turn both streams on for the second test.

I'll be testing out trying to do the whole thing in winamp, to minimise skips, because on the recordings i made there appears to be some skipping, and that has also been said in a couple of RX reports.

Again, reception reports by email are very very welcome, and every correct report will be verified with a QSL card.

The best way to find out exactly when I am on air is by going to Iann's chat:

I will post there when I am on air.

Prize Rebel

http://www.prizerebel.com/index.php?r=2448834

My friend is using this and he says he is going to try and buy me a rig. For all of his referralls, he gets 25% of their points (you still get 100%). If you want to help out, try this link.

I have never used Prize Rebel before, and I would suggest you research to make sure it is safe if you are planning to use it. I am NOT responsible for anything that goes wrong if you choose to use it!!!

Zender Postoffice to start

I will soon be putting a station on air, called Zender Postoffice. For the moment it is online only, but hopefully soon it will be on SW and MW.

The website is http://zenderpostoffice.webs.com

The first test transmissions will be on the 20th June 2010 at 18:00 UTC (19:00 UK time), online only. The stream will be opened with silence before hand so you can listen to the very beginning. There is a time delay of about 1 minute on the stream, so the audio may not start until 18:01 UTC. Please send us reports by email to zenderpost@hotmail.com to let us know how the stream went, and we will send you a QSL, either by email or post, which is up to you.

After that will be the proper launch online. The date and time for this has not yet been decided, it depends how the tests go, but it will probably be on a Sunday evening.

After the launch, broadcasts will not be at any specific time, but most live broadcasts will be on Sunday evenings. Pre-recorded shows could be played at any time, most likely weeekends and maybe weekday evenings.

If you would like to get involved, please send an email to zenderpost@hotmail.com

Level 48 Recordings updated

I've only just found out that the uploads of my recordings of the return of Level 48 had majorly failed epic-ly. So I've uploaded them again :o)

You can find them in this post:

Online Stream Ripper

Ever tried to record from an internet radio station, but you don't have enough bandwidth? Or for some reason your computer has to be off when you want to make the recording? Here is a solution :o)

http://ripper.voidrage.com

To record:

1) Click 'view schedule'
2) Enter a name that you want to call the file, also enter the streaming address, and the time and date for the recording to start and finish.
3) Click 'Add'

Very simple ;-)

Then, once your recording has finished, it will appear at http://ripper.voidrage.com/finished/  for you to download.

The only time your computer need to be on is for you to set the file to record and to download it.

Any problems, email me at ronnie.rodent@hotmail.com or put a post in the instant messaging box on the hompage of the site.

:o)
