    Centinel replied to the topic text to speech tools in the forum Broadcast Equipment 1 year ago

    Yes, the phonetics work. Getting the machine to pronouce “pha vern” is interesting.

    The Talking House seems loud. Problem is I have a noisy RF source out my door and I believe it keeps the signal from propagating well.

    I have taken the transmitter remotely too. Entirely dependent on the power and back-up power, but it works.

    Since I first tried the text to speech tools a couple years ago they appear to have much improved.

    Found this – https://ttsmp3.com/

    Good sound quality and the pronunciations are not terrible, so they’re easy to understand.  I stuck a foreign language translation into it and now I have a foreign lanuage station ID.

    Centinel replied to the topic 2 Transmitters 1.3 Mile Apart Is That To Close Together?? in the forum Transmitter Talk 2 years ago

    I’m in a congested, urban environment. I really couldn’t see the signal going more than a few blocks.

    How are you getting your signal to the second transmitter?

    Experimented with another transmitter build and I’m having trouble tuning it. As a result I bought one of the last new Talking House transmitters I could find.

    The Talking House should be broadcast ready next week. And I should be on the air several hours a day to start.

    Additionally, I successfully got an IceCast server running to stream the…[Read more]

    Centinel started the topic Raspberry Pi for Part 15 in the forum Broadcast Equipment 2 years, 8 months ago

    Is anyone using Raspberry Pi for any portion of their Part 15 stations? I did a search for a thread on the Pi and saw nothing.  Just curious what successes there are, if any.  Most of the software I see for Part 15 use is Windows based, and I’m not sure a Pi would run Windows very well.

    This interests me.  Please provide a couple of sample links to eliminate guesswork on what might work.

    Other than my claim of original content, you want to see something more like the content found in this –

    Oompah Hour #285

    and this –

    Old Time Radio Reviews

    Am I correct?  Those seem to elaborate quite a bit.

    So how do you get a hold of ALPB these days if the email link is bad?

    Centinel started the topic original programming about scouting in the forum Content / Media 2 years, 9 months ago

    If I produce an approximately 15 min long original program on the topic of scouting, might anyone be interested in syndicating it on their station?

    I need some input on how much time would be need to be devoted to commercial break or station ID.  I’m thinking 9-12 min of actual talk time.  Only crafting and brainstorming the idea right now.  Ma…[Read more]

    I contacted him and he replied.  He denied finding a pulse, for what it’s worth.

    Centinel started the topic Start of Project – II in the forum General Discussion 2 years, 9 months ago

    I started another Part 15 station project. New transmitter. Not entirely new ideas but I think I will make this station portable.  Not sure yet.  I won’t call it something different.  Same website as last time.

    A year passed from the prior one concluding and I missed it.  Also updated my ham license to General and it made me think about it all…[Read more]

    Centinel replied to the topic The Dumbing of Communication in the forum Content / Media 2 years, 9 months ago

    Instead of starting a movement, I would like to see us lobby Congress for low-power broadcasting on the upper AM band (as it was suggested in another thread).  Keep it to 1-watt, etc, like it was suggested. I bet it would open up a whole new era for radio and keep the medium alive, out of big-business hands.

    Do a series of tests over a week.  Differing times of day.  Before sunset, after, noon, whatever.

    Keep a log, and then keep it for later reference.  The tests are a due diligence on your part.  State time, etc. and any power or levels much like a ham operator would do.  Record what you know and observe.

    Essentially I did this for my Radio Phve…[Read more]
