I have a serious question for the engineering veterans who understand “remote controlled transmitters,” which refers to the method of turning a transmitter off and on from a distant location.

I have a serious question for the engineering veterans who understand “remote controlled transmitters,” which refers to the method of turning a transmitter off and on from a distant location.

I have part 15 transmitters in several different locations within the same property, and would like to design a way of turning them off and on from a central location next to the computer. I prefer a home-brew system NOT integrated with computer control.

One objective is to avoid running 120VAC lines all over the place, like are used for switching lamps off/on. A low voltage system is sought, which will not draw current except when the button is pressed. If a plain relay is used, the relay coil draws current when it is in its “ON” mode.

Looking forward to your ideas.

While browsing Shoutcast Forums studying their new beta version of a newer Shoutcast streamer, I found a link that may be a good resource to know, because it deals with hobby internet broadcasting.

Dear Fellows in Part15-ism:

Long stretches go by with little activity here on part15.us, perhaps a summer phenomenon, but I hereby call for a rise to… no, not arms, but, new dedication to this delicate art we share.

Previously I have asked whether someone might launch a regular radio program series on Part 15 as a hobby, a technology and a tremendous social tool. Nothing has arisen.

I hope I don’t end up being the one who ends up doing a weekly show on Part 15, especially now that they’re talking about cutting social security, and there’s a maxim we should remember: there are no homeless part 15ers.

But I will if it comes down to it. I will launch a little show about the great cultural opportunity we hold in our hands. If this happens, if I do a show, I will be interviewing everybody who manufactures or employs the Part 15 devices. What will be the objective?

An objective we should all have, everyday, whether on a radio program or just part of life, to promote the hobby art and find new recruits who can ignite their own micro-message and carry the medium into avenues, drives, streets and boulevards.

I do not preach religion. I preach Part 15!

I did a quick search and note that “Stereo Tool” by Hans van Zutphen, a Winamp plugin, is already mentioned quite a bit.

Here is my contribution to the body of comment already given.

For several years I employed the free version of Stereo Tool, which provides limiting, compression, equalization and all the things we need for quality control.

First Insight.
I noticed that everything sounded better with Stereo Tool, but I couldn’t use all of its features because the free version has a few limitations. Still, it worked amazingly well, until I discovered that I had it set up wrong and it wasn’t doing anything. Therefore my first insight is this: what we imagine can become astoundingly real and be very convincing.

Second Insight.
In a rush of enthusiasm I paid to register and spent two days in a deep Stereo Tool trance, finding eventually that the real life properly installed version of Stereo Tool is many times better than the imaginary version from before.

Stereo Tool is as good and maybe better than high priced audio processing equipment, and I highly recommend it for Winamp users.

Got to wondering about “The Coriolis Effect,” which gives us the common idea that water going down a drain circulates clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the southern.

So should we wind coils in a clockwise manner here north of the equator?

Several members have described having a different frequency at night, and now I have discovered a full-power AM licensed station that switches frequencies for nighttime.

The station is KNZK Detroit. See it here at radio-locator
