[HCDX] Radio Memories in danger

2015-04-01 Thread Radio Heritage Foundation




March 31 2015

Keep us out of danger this week
___

Hello...do you have a favorite radio memory? Did you know that as each 
year goes past, more memorabilia is lost and destroyed, and memories 
grow weaker?


Here at the Radio Heritage Foundation we've made it our mission for 10 
years now to keep radio memories safe.


It's a big project, and we've scored some successes. Over 350 stories 
now feature on our website www.radioheritage.net along with radio 
station guides to popular listening countries Australia, New Zealand and 
Hawaii as well as countless facts and figures to keep people occupied 
for hoursand that's just at our website and barely scratches 
the surface.


You see, the real work is what you can't see. Saving, finding, and 
collecting genuine radio memorabilia...thousands of letters, cards, car 
stickers, photos, hours of audio and video...storing them, and a handful 
of volunteers slowly sorting them out so we can share them with everyone 
worldwide for free.


We've started our 10th year with a new web server to host our website, 
and our emails, introduced a new email management system, and started 
moving our website content to a new system so that our site will look 
much fresher and easier to find content, and started testing our our new 
database system which will ultimately save and present many thousands of 
items of memorabilia.


But the project is in danger this week. On April 1 we begin a new 
financial year, but it looks like we'll be a long way behind in paying 
our office bills for storage and other operational costs. In fact, 
$4,500 or so behind.


Loyal supporters have found 78% of the budget this last financial year, 
but it's not enough. We began the year about $4,500 down also, so we've 
been on the back foot all year long.


You know, we get no government funding or grants from the radio 
industry. It's just ordinary folks who gift some dollars here and there 
as they can afford to because they like what we do and want to help keep 
the memories alive. We name them all on our Roll of Honor, have a look 
at it on www.radioheritage.net and you'll see that we touch people all 
over the world.


If you can help us with a gift towards our project, you'll help us 
reduce that $4,500 shortfall...and most importantly, do something 
practical to keep radio memories safe.


On behalf of the Radio Heritage Foundation volunteers, supporters and 
radio memories, thank you for keeping us out of danger this week. You 
can make a gift today at www.radioheritage.net and we will acknowledge 
you with our heartfelt thanks.


Email us to unsubscribe from our mailing list and please allow 5 working 
days. We'll be sad, however, to see you go.


PS...See our latest stories from Denmark and South Africa, use our just 
updated PAL Pacific Asian Listeners Radio Guide, use our Australian, New 
Zealand and Hawaiian radio guides and enjoy the radio memories we 
continue to share for 10 years at www.radioheritage.net... and please 
keep us out of danger this week with a gift towards our $4,500 shortfall 
in funding the projectwe want to add you to our Roll of Honor!

[HCDX] NBC Papua New Guinea

2015-04-27 Thread Radio Heritage Foundation

April 28 2015

NBC Papua New Guinea


Latest update for NBC: $100m+ is needed to rebuild the national 
broadcaster says the Minister of Communications. In a related interview 
broadcast from Radio New Zealand International recently, the Institute 
of National Affairs makes the following points:

* shortwave continues to be the only way to reach all rural areas
* provincial and district administrations are expected to put more funds 
into local programs after years of no attention
* NBC is reconsiering if it should own and manage the infrastructure 
such as broadcast towers and transmitters
* sharing of facilities with mobile phone operators is being considered 
to reach more areas with FM signals
In the meantime, provincial shortwave stations continue to come back to 
life after months off air, or go silent without warning. Regular 
monitoring is needed to understand the situation day by day.

With thanks to ADXC/RNZI.
We continue to welcome monitoring reports of NBC Papua New Guinea 
shortwave and private shortwave stations in PNG to help us update the 
PNG country information in the World Radio TV Handbook [WRTH]. Details 
of FM outlets as relayed by provincial NBC stations is also needed. 
Please send information to i...@radioheritage.net and thank you in 
advance.

[HCDX] RHF has good news!

2015-05-16 Thread Radio Heritage Foundation




May 17 2015

Hello, thank you for having an interest in what we do to protect radio 
heritage...you may have used some of our free radio guides for 
instancenow, this is some good and important news we must share 
today.


We've been quiet lately, but watch our website for news soon now that 
we've completed our latest annual report so we can share the bigger 
picture with youit's looking very good apart from not being able to 
fully cover our operational costs our volunteers report a lot of 
good news:


* donations up 20%
* expenses remain fixed for 5 years
* website users steady after decline a year ago
* new visitors now almost 82%
* Facebook fans up 300%
* successful migration to new web server
* WordPress version of site steadily advances towards launch
* First content partner achieved with Nautel from Canada
* Technical upgrade #1 achieved with community grant
* Collective Access database project testing started
* several new commercial partnerships
* continued use of the Australian, New Zealand and Hawaiian Radio Guides

The tough issues facing us right now are:

* getting donations to cover 100% of operating costs [currently 73%] 
which tick over at $450 every week

* new content has been limited to avoid duplication of effort
* cataloging and data entry of collections postponed because of the 
imminent launch of Collective Access, again we have to avoid duplication 
of effort from our limited volunteer base

* paying off our accumulated debts [$12,449]
* engaging more volunteers through use of the new systems
* more storage space

The heart of this project - where the costs continue to be - is the 
collection from destruction, damage and loss of memorabilia and 
memories, safe housing of physical memorabilia, cataloging, research and 
publication for free of our holdings and those of others. The website is 
a fairly small cost but invaluable to what we do with your support...it 
takes the memories global.


Our material has strength from the Pacific region [Australia, NZ, 
Pacific islands], the Americas, and with strong representation from 
Asia, Africa and Europe. All are original, many are rare. They have to 
be housed safely.


If you're helped us before, and some of you still do on a regular basis, 
you'll be aware we couldn't be here today without your help along the 
way. If you can show your support at this time, we will continue to be 
grateful to you for helping us overcome these challenges and move 
forward.


Our main donation option is Paypal at www.radioheritage.net, which is 
extremely safe and secure and donors get recognition on the Supporter 
Roll and if you live in New Zealand, we can provide a tax receipt for $5 
or more.


I'm sorry for the length of this note. However, we owe you, our friends, 
this information on the good news and our current financial status, but 
more importantly, to share with you how your continued support will help 
us make the breakthrough needed to save and share the stories of radio 
heritage and make it financially stable so our plans will come to 
fruition without more loss.


Warm regards, and thank you

[HCDX] Real good news this week!

2015-05-29 Thread Radio Heritage Foundation


www.radioheritage.net
May 29 2015

Hi radio heritage friends:

There's a lot happening to make our website much better for you to use, 
and our radio heritage project stronger! We'll be adding some highlights 
from our recent annual report to www.radioheritage.net soon.


And, now read on.now we can start to focus on saving radio 
memories and memorabilia with less worries...we hear every day of people 
and stations just trashing their history, their heritage..tossing it all 
out when they're moving, when they end a hobby or interest...so much is 
irreplaceable and we could weep at what's still being lost...for 10 
years now we've started just one memory at a time, one piece of 
memorabilia..and yes, it's worth saving. It really is.


More Good News
_

Finally after months of delays, we now have confirmation that 50% of the 
weekly costs should be underwritten from July 1.it's a very generous 
arrangement. It should take a big pressure off us, even though we'll 
still require $225 each week from elsewhere. So please consider joining 
the journey with us so finally we can do more to keep the radio memories 
and share the wonderful stories and other memorabilia in our 
collections.



The next few weeks
__

For April 1 -June 30 [our first quarter] our operational costs are 
$A5,834, and so far we have $A3,470 thanks to generous ongoing donors. 
But, that leaves us with $A2,364 still to find to make these good news 
events start to happen in the coming weeks. Will you help be able to 
help us? It's less than $1 each from the people on this mailing list, 
over 225 of whom continue to give generously year after year to help 
fund this global radio memories project.


As you know. we accept donations at www.radioheritage.net, acknowledge 
donors by name on the honor roll, and remind you that we get no 
government or institutional grants...we're independent, and free for the 
community to use. But we rely on the community to fund us, it's as 
simple as that. We're a non-profit, run by volunteers. We meet the many 
needs of the thousands of people who visit www.radioheritage.net each 
month.


Again, thanks for staying true!
__

Thank you so much for your patience! I'm sure you almost as frustrated 
getting these sorts of emails as we are sending them out. The reality is 
that few businesses want to partner us because we're too small, it's an 
issue facing thousands upon thousands of non-profits everywhere.


If you've heard from us recently and/or responded already, thank you for 
your patience. It is sincerely welcomed.

Unsubscribe by sending us an email by return and allow our volunteers 
time to find and remove your email address. Don't forget, donating is as 
easy as going to www.radioheritage.net right now. Please do it! From 
July 1 things are looking so much better! We can finally get on with our 
task!


PS.you can also follow us on Facebook, nearly 3,300 fans do already.

community!


Now, over 10 years of service to radio heritage memories...
