Hi all 1629am is back on the air at high power, the high power transmitter is back up and running, thanks to Greg for fixing the transmitter.
We were running on our low power backup.

Hi All, I have returned from working away and I have adjusted the audio on the backup transmitter, so it should sound a lot better.
The main transmitter is still not working and is being looked at the moment so should be back to full power sometime this week all going well.
