Village Radio 1368 AM will be running a special transmission this coming Saturday the 13th of April.
It is exactly 40 years since the radio station commenced broadcasting from the Historic Village here in Tauranga so we are hoping the Collins High Fidelity Broadcast Transmitter will be back running all day….! We usually run a J1000 Nautel, and now are also “Live Streaming” on our website, www.villageradio.co.nz
I will be firing up the transmitter at around 7 am for the duty announcer, Steve Lambie.
It has been tested so all the lovely old valves should be lit up and be working like they did 86 years ago.
We still believe this transmitter is possibly the only one of its type, still working 100%.
Best wishes, 73’s George Stewart, for villageradio.co.nz
