G'day All,
Are there any SWLers close to Sydney / Coffs Harbour that willing to
help broadcast via the internet the Pit****er to Coffs (or in this years
case Pit****er to Pit****ter)
They have opted to use 4485 khz which is not a very good day time
frequency for propagation.
Here is a sample if your wish to hear it at the 1705 AEDT sked
http://www.mediafire.com/?6fmw1d9kzmy
I was wondering if anyone would be willing to tell me how they go
receiving traffic via 4483 khz relating to pit****er ocean race. The
best times are the skeds, the next one is 0005 AEDT, followed by 0805
AEDT and then followed by 1805 AEDT.
If you do get good signals, the next BIG BIG BIG Question would you be
willing to at a minimum broadcast / upload the SKEDs via USTREAM.TV ??
similar to how I do it on
http://aussiedrifter.blogstop.com ? The
race should conclude Friday 4th Morning. so it will be only a short
broadcast ?
If you are willing to broadcast continually the frequency that would be
even better!!!!!!
I know its a big ask, but its so frustrating not being able to hear the
skeds and possible yachts retiring etc
Cheers
Mark

G'day All,
I'll be giving it another go and will be attempting to broadcast the
HF Comms for "Pit****er to Coffs Harbour Ocean Race 2008" - (Race
details http://www.pit****ertocoffs.com.au/). This race starts Jan
2nd 2008
Similar to The "Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race" they use 6516 khz as
primary race freq and 4483 khz as alternative race freq. The
schedules Skeds for position and weather reports can be found at the
bottom of this email.
My Broadcast will start shortly after the Race has start or even
slightly before. Here is my USTREAM URL for the broadcast:
http://ustream.tv/channel/pw2ch-ocean-race
***** CALL FOR MORE BROADCASTER *****
If there is anyone else who would be interested and willing to set up
a broadcast and cover the race frequencies using USTREAM.TV as its
free and fairly easy to setup and does not require any software to be
install perse as it uses Flash program to broadcast sound and video.
You can opt to broadcast just sound or both sound and video.
If you are willing to setup a broadcast for the whole approx 2 day
race or just even for the Skeds, could you please let me know via
(please note it the double underscore)
and or with in this forum, so that we can all enjoy
The more the merrier as during Sydney to Hobart Race, the HF
Propagation was poor at times, and if we can get people close to the
race as well as interstate for the skip the better chance that one of
the other broadcasts would the better to listen to.
One final note for those setting up a USTREAM TV broadcast, I've just
created mine, and when it asked for the BROADCAST name of the show it
spat the dummy at the word "Pit****er". So For the show name, try
using hyphen or abrev such as PW.
Regards
Mark
