Improve your Radio Reception from Capital 90.5FM
(updated
10 March 2010)
The community
radio licence issued by the Australian Broadcasting authority on 90.5MHz on the FM band, requires us to restrict the strength of our broadcast
signal.
-
If you live some distance from our transmitter atop Wireless Hill,
in Ardross (Perth), reception will be improved with a vertical external antenna,
externally, or inside your home, such as often found on portable radios.
-
OR ...
you could try "LISTEN LIVE" on the Internet from our website. Just
go to the website ...
http://www.capitalcommunityradio.com, and click on the "LISTEN LIVE" button.
- and at the website you can also click on the text "LISTENING LIVE? ... WHERE
FROM? PLEASE TELL US ..."
and tell us your location information, so we know where on Earth our
Internet listeners are.
You can also try the following
inside your home to improve reception on your radio:
-
If your radio has a telescopic aerial, extend it fully.
-
Moving the radio to another part of the room can often
improve reception.
-
Turn the radio
around, say, 90 degrees, this often is all that is needed.
-
If you have a
radio or system including a radio with an FM antenna connection at the rear,
then attach an FM radio antenna (normally a T shaped flat 2-wire ribbon type
cable), typically available from electronics specialty shops such as Dick Smith
Electronics, Tandy Electronics, etc, usually also supplied with kit when
purchasing your radio.
- you could also connect this radio FM antenna connection to your TV antenna,
via a TV antenna "splitter", again an item available from stores such as Disck
Smith Electronics, Tandy Electronics, etc.
-
We broadcast our programmes in FM stereo, if your radio
has a mono/stereo switch, switching it to "mono" may reduce background noise.
In car radios, the
signal should be easy to pick up on the FM band in stereo throughout most of the
Perth metropolitan area.
We hope you
continue to hear us on 90.5FM
Many thanks, the team
at Capital Community Radio Inc.
