Our crew have been instructed to refer everyone to the contact page, this way all committee can have the chance to review the information.

.COM/.ORG What’s this about?

Previously 5KIxFM.COM was our domain for the web site. However, we are an organisation and as such we should use the .ORG suffix.

So, to make the transition smooth for everyone 5KIxFM.COM will remain in operation for people who knew us under that domain. However, it will switch to 5KIxFM.ORG once you are taken to the site.

5KIxFM has certain legal rights when broadcasting or recording in public

In summary, we are covered under the Film and Photography section of the Law in South Australia.

The Law

Basically, no permisson is required to broadcast or record any person, happening, place, sound or event in a public place.

This includes what can be seen from a public place.

For example:

• being in the street and filming or photographic shop front
• or private property.

If it is visible from a pulic place the law states the process is acceptable for both vision, photos, filming and audio.

There is no expectaion of privacy in  public.

Resrictions

There are a few restrictions regarding the nature of such broadcasts or recordings for example: sexual content.

In a nutshell, this means when the station is at an event, out in the street (Roaming Reporting)  or a public meeting, there are no restrictions on what we can record other than those specifically listed in the law.

This includes but not limited to:

• Public Events
• Public Meetings EG: our AGM is a public event.
• Public Sporting Events
• Public Parades
• Public Music Events

• Nature of Recording: 
  There are a few restrictions regarding the nature of such broadcasts or recordings for example: sexual content.

So, if you see our crew around the community please, don’t be combative. The station is perfectly withing its legal right to be doing what it is doing.

Our Crew safety is a primary concern of the committee at 5KIxFM.

For more information see the relevant section of the Law Handbook SA HERE.

No, certainly not.

We appreciate any contribution you can make towards keeping 5KIxFM 90.7 active for the Kangaroo Island community.

If it’s just a financial membership, that’s fine. every dolar helps to keep us going.

Volunteering is totally up to you as to any, how much and how often you volunteer (or not).

We won’t take it personally. The bigger the group the better and the more we can do for KI.

We do several things that will benefit our membership.

• Member Functions EG: a BBQ
• Newsletters
• Station updates
• Music requests
• Competitions
• Attend General meetings (by appointment due to space limitations.)
• & you can vote on the future of the station at the AGM.

We are open to more member benifits If you have an idea we can check it out and see if it’s workable and meets station goals.

Broadly, the answer is no. We take sponsorsips and as a sponsor you can have an on-air sponsor message. This can include a promotion for instance for a business but it must be clearly stated that you are a station sponsor.

Example:

This is XYZ here and we make wig wongs for a goose’s bridal. They come in grey, green blue and yellow. We are here to help you find the colour you need. You can call us on 1234-5678. STATION SPONSOR (or XYZ is a proud sponsor of 5KIxFM 90.7)

Check out our BE A SPONSOR page.

Our radio station on KI is our link to and from the community. When you sponsor you help to keep that vital link operational for all Islaners. As a benifit of sponsoring the station you get to have a Sponsor Message on air to promote your support for the station. It can be a business or personal related message to show that you support the KI community.

With FM radio signal many objects can cause interference. Such as:-

• buildings
• hills & valleys
• reflective metal objects

You can try moving your radio receiver or antenna to improve reception.

Unfortunately, low on no signal areas may have to use our internet LIVE STREAM to overcome this issue.

Our station utilises and FMX 101+ 100w Exciter to power an SRK Electronics 500 watt power amplifier.

This is in turn fed to 4 co-phased vertical dipoles on a 26 metre tower in the middle of the Island.

Live streams take a while to process by our providers. Some are quicker than others. There also may be legal reasons for the particular streaming provider.

Some streams are just copies of our stream and so they are delayed longer. The original delay + their new introduced delay.

So, in short streams are delayed from 20 seconds to minutes depending on where you listen on line.
