Q:
What is "project revamp"?
A:
This is the name I gave the period of renewing and expanding the website. This period runs from October 2009 until the end of 2010 and incorporates the following:
- giving the pages a new look
- creating new subpages
- adding technical data about the tx site
- adding historical data about the tx site
- adding new countries
- revisiting tx sites
- adding new high resolution pictures
- looking into promoting (internet advertising) the site by the end of 2010


Q:
From January till March 2010, no updates occured?
A:
Correct! There were some major computer issues on my end that prevented me from further updating the site. The idea now is to assemble a second computer to prevent breakdowns like this in the future.


Q:

A:
This logo indicates that the following photoshoot was created with my Nikon D90, which creates JPG-files at a 300 dpi resolution, 4.16 times higher compared to the Panasonic Lumix.


Q:
Do you have a media related job?
A:
No, I have a regular, non technical, job.


Q:
Do you have any personal contacts within the media?
A:
No, I don't know anybody personally and have no 'inside information'.


Q:
Can you give me technical advice on broadcasting?
A:
No, I merely have an interest in broadcasting, no advanced technical knowledge.


Q:
Why are you doing this?
A:
I've always been fascinated by signals and where they come from. Ever since my first digital camera I've been taking pictures of antennas and uploading them to my website.


Q:
Are you doing this all by yourself?
A:
Without the exception of people donating pictures, I maintain this website by myself.


Q:
Do you ask for or accept donations?
A:
No and no, I pay for all of this myself.


Q:
Do you receive cooperation from radio & television stations?
A:
I used to get answers from the V.R.T., but they've been ignoring my questions for some years(!) now. The national commercial stations have never answered any of my mails. The only radio stations that do reply are some local independent ones, but I can count those on 1 hand.


Q:
Why do you sometimes not update your site for several months?
A:
This is a hobby and not my full time job. I sometimes don't feel like updating. Instead I just watch a DVD or Blu-ray in my spare time. I don't wish to become a slave to my hobby!


Q:
I have send you some pictures, why can't I find them on your site?
A:
See previous question. I will add that, with a few exceptions, all pictures will eventually appear on the site.


Q:
Exceptions, what exceptions?
A:
I prefer HQ pictures. Pictures that are shot with a low pixel camera during dark and cloudy weather will probably not get uploaded to the site.


Q:
Your site is also called project 208 and project 1440. What does that mean?
A:
208 meters and 1440 kHz. refer to the frequencie once used by the legendary Radio Luxembourg. A station that brings back some great memories ;-)


Q:
Is there a difference between your .com and .eu site?
A:
They are an exact duplicate, however, when connecting from Europe, the .eu site should load much faster. This version is hosted on a server in Belgium, where most of my visitors come from.


Q:
How come Belgium gets the most attention?
A:
Easy, I live in Belgium.
