Hi Tim, don’t know if you got my email a week or so ago. It was to let you know we are running Oompah Hour on a new Live365 station-Fifth Dimension Radio. I emailed to let you know.
In addition to keeping The ALPB site updated with Oompah Hour, I’m still running the show on my Part15 AM 1500.
As always, thanks for all the work you do to put t…[Read more]

Well Tim, yes it seems the activity is down but like a roller coaster, it has it’s ups and downs.
I’m still updating The ALPB website with each and every new Ooompah show and would certainly miss it.

Hey Tim, thanks for the update.
I’ll get the link onto The ALPB Oompah Hour page right away as well as Oompah Hour 312.
A link to every Oompah Hour is found at http://thealpb.us/OompahHour.html.

What? No new Oompah Hour this week?
I’m sure it will be along shortly. After 310 episodes Tim’s allowed to be late with 1.
We certainly appreciate Tim putting this show together every week.

I had the pleasure of meeting Bill when he dropped in the check-out our TIS station supplied by ISS.
Bill got out his Potomac meter and we ran a field strength test to see how the system was performing.
A very nice gentleman.
Our station has about the same coverage as described above and has been on air for about 15 years.
MRAM replied to the topic Cheap EAS for Hobby Broadcasters in the forum General Discussion 2 years, 5 months ago
Correct, EAS on Part 15 is not a requirement.
But some strive for something more than what is currently permitted. And the hope is that a new low power community broadcast service will be created by meeting specific requirements such as EAS.
Some feel it’s better to aim high and miss than to aim low and hit…

The Kenwood is playing out the Bluetooth audio which is your program audio.
At the same time, the Kenwood’s radio receiver is monitoring a local radio station but not playing it out.
When an EAS alert is received by the Kenwood radio receiver, the Bluetooth audio is muted and then the local radio station audio would play out.
When the EAS alert…[Read more]

If you use an audio compressor/limiter that has “sidechain” input control, you wouldn’t need a VOX switch.
The sidechain control of the program audio would drop the program audio low enough for the Alert to play over it.
This could be an even cheaper solution if you already have the sidechain capability.
MRAM replied to the topic Cheap EAS for Hobby Broadcasters in the forum General Discussion 2 years, 5 months ago
Then again, a vox switch on the audio out from an inexpensive Alert radio could activate a switch also.
That could be an inexpensive EAS system.
MRAM replied to the topic Cheap EAS for Hobby Broadcasters in the forum General Discussion 2 years, 5 months ago
There are EAS systems for much less although still pricey.
Our LPFM used an EAS by Dasdec. Cost was around $3k. Has 3 internal receivers with room for 4. Has both analog and AES audio capability. Logs all EAS events including CAP. Stores audio clips of events and fully programmable for type of event to forward.
Perhaps a digital ghuru coul…[Read more]

So if I understand this correctly, my program audio is sent via Bluetooth to the Kenwood receiver.
The audio from the Kenwood is sent to my transmitter.
The Kenwood Bluetooth audio is the selected output but the Kenwood receiver is tuned to a local radio station.
When the local radio station puts out an EAS alert, the local radio station EAS…[Read more]
