Transmission Equipment Grant Round 1 2013/14.

The committee has submitted an application towards the Transmission Equipment Grant Round 1 2013/14.

This grant is to assist the ongoing development of Australian community radio stations through grants to purchase and install essential transmission equipment or conduct activities that will improve their transmission facilities.

The committee has applied for a grant of $7,647 for the purpose of replacing old and/or faulty equipment with a new 100 watt exciter (FMX100+) and 500 watt power amplifier (FMA501). These are to replace the old RVR MOD TEX 30 and TEX500. Investigate reflected power problems with the main 4-bay antenna array to allow us to switch back from our standby antenna.

Final grant recommendations will be considered by the CBF Board at its November 2013 meeting.
