I didn't notice any video links on the FR website, but maybe I missed
them. I'm still waiting for the May 19th Open Forum MP3 to be uploaded.


I'm always surprised anybody can find anything on that (F)ugly mess.
Don't get me started!


one of the newspaper articles mentioned that they'd been told
not to produce any new shows for after May 20th.


Not exactly. The problem was that no one said *what* to produce. And
it didn't matter to Camping and Co., since it was just "busy work" anyway.


mp3 stream encoders that function as STLs for direct-to-home satellite
uplinking in the U.K.

Family Radio has an uplink facility in the UK? What do they originate
from there?


We have had three full-time audio channels on direct-to-home satellite
for over ten years. One is our domestic stereo feed time-shifted for
Central European Time. The other two are multi-lingual mono streams on
the same satellites. These are currently uplinked for us by World
Radio Network (WRN), and we appear in the BSkyB EPG.

One of the multi-lingual streams is also directed to another uplink
site for specific program distribution to transmitters in various
places such as South Africa, India, Dubai, Wooferton, etc. If you go
to www.short-wave.info and select Family Radio from the drop-down
list, it will show you all of the shortwave transmitters we've been
on. Most of our shortwave programs are delivered to the uplink service
by ftp, however.

How much of this will continue, or for how long, I have no idea.
