I missed an 'n' off Glenn Miller and it took me ages to figure out why it wouldn't play anything......... can you say DUH?????

Where did you set the file to be played in the code? I haven't altered any code, I was under the impression all you did was add the station in the .cfg and then put the files in their apporpiate folder.

i may be wrong but your tryint to transmit the 2 stations off the same antena during the same time frame ...if my history is correct oranje would be dutch east indies? so my thinking is you should try this and see if it works for you change the station location to this
Antenna=01.01.1930-01.01.2000:44.16,-120.00:100000

the 120 puts the ant in the celebes /hope this helps let me know if it works and mp3's wave or oggs should work

True, but the location really doesn't matter when you have a power of 100000. It will be heard everywhere on the map so it's originating spot doesn't matter.

I only have a 14 minute track of Radio, it's ok if it loops for now. Finding radio broadcasts from that time is hard enough as it is.

Radio Oranje is London actually. It used to be Radio Nederland (Netherlands) but after the invasion in may 1940 they were shut down by the Germans. Radio Oranje is basicly BBC. It's shortwave and they broadcasted all over the world. I don't know how they did it but it was a big to do over at Philips at the time.

That's mostly details though, I just wanted it to work.

The antenna doesn't matter. I managed to get it to work, but I needed to remove/rename the radio_track.wav in the washington folder. It interupts the other files obnoxiously.

For the rest I changed the folder name to Radio Oranje and so far so good.
