Cambridge University Radio is well worth listening to - we have a huge range of shows, covering all tastes.
To listen you can either tune in on a radio set or stream our signal over the internet.
AM
CUR1350 is now broadcasting on AM (medium-wave) to the students of
Cambridge at 1350kHz. To listen, all you need to do is tune in
your radio.
To get the best reception for AM, the orientation of your aerial
is important - try rotating it (or the whole set if it is a portable
radio) until you get the strongest signal. You may also get better
reception if you move the aerial around the room - placing the
aerial next to a computer monitor is generally a bad idea. Steel
and reinforced concrete tend to act as Faraday cages, so reception
may be bad in newer buildings - if this is the case try placing
the aerial near the window.
For hi-fi systems, your AM aerial will be a coil of wire on a
plastic stand, whereas the FM aerial will probably be a single
straight piece of wire. If the AM aerial is not present then there
is no point in trying to tune the radio - you will not get anything.
For portable radios the AM aerial will be built into the case
- the extendible aerial on the top is only used for FM, so there
is no need to use it for CUR1350.
Internet Streaming
Cambridge University Radio also broadcasts to the students of
Cambridge over the internet. We now have two options available to you
, Ogg Vorbis and RealAudio.
If your computer is connected to the university network, you can listen to us live, 24 hours a day.
For PC and Mac users, we recommend using our Ogg Vorbis Stream
which offers a higher quality to RealAudio. In order to receive this, you need to have free player software installed on your computer.
See below for details of players available. If you know you have the required software already, listen now.
Alternatively, you can use RealAudio if you already have RealPlayer 6 (G2) or above, then
start
listening now. Otherwise, see below for
details of how to get the free RealPlayer.
If you have any questions about our Internet broadcasting,
feel free to get in touch with us at committee@cur1350.co.uk.
