Thanks for your patience and understanding. We're now back on terrestrial FM again after our few days absence.
Always remember our online streams are an alternative in times of outages. Just search on Tunein, iHeart, Rova, Radio Garden or Radio Box. Cheers for your ears, Mark

Update: I dropped off Heads FM transmitter to techs in Gotham City yesterday and have been told the transmitter has fried a power supply module/chip thingy. I am arranging a loan Tx this weekend, so should be back on air Saturday arvo, until my main unit is repaired. I'm as frustrated as you but these things happen. The big takeaway from this? Mark, get a back up transmitter in the cabinet on the hill for any future event. In the meantime, Keep screaming...I mean, streaming!!! 😉

Apologies to all terrestrial FM listeners. We have an equipment failure at transmitter site and currently off air. However, online streams are unaffected. We'll get this sorted ASAP. Sorry. Thanks for your patience and support. BTW, we won't be applying a 10% tariff to listeners to spend more time listening, so relax!! 😉

Bit of a hiccup on air and online today due to gale force SW winds we've been copping. Knocked out power and internet for a few hours. All back now and all systems go.
Sadly that nice swell we had has been blown back to Peru!!! Fingers crossed for a new years pulse like we usually get.
Seasons greetings and all the best for 2025. As always, cheers for your ears.

Oh dear...so sorry. Just had a massive electrical storm which lightning caused power surge and fried our router/modem. We are slowly getting stations streaming again setting up new gear. Please be aware there may be temp outages as we configure new kit and system settings. Terrestrial FM is fine.
