Submit a Local Broadcast News Item
If you would like to send an item for broadcast as part of the VK5 Local News please send an MP3 file to VK5 Newsline. Items should be received by midday on the Saturday prior to the Sunday broadcast to ensure they can be included. Late submissions may be arranged at the discretion of the person rostered to assemble the local news that week by emailing the same address.
For help in recording your news item download this “How-To” document. If you want to send an item to WIA National News broadcast you can find information here.
How the Sunday Broadcast System Works
The automated broadcast server system commenced operation in 2005 and was relocated to a new site in 2011. The PC was upgraded to a 12v computer with a 3GHz motherboard and 12v battery operation was introduced.
The system is designed to play the WIA National News from VK1WIA and the VK5 Local News at 9.00am each Sunday. The audio is relayed to the prime Adelaide VHF repeater VK5RAD without human intervention.
The system consists of:
- Philips FM828 radio
- Radio to PC interface
- Yagi antenna
- Software was written by Steve (VK5ASF)
