International & Domestic Broadcasting : Overview

• MW & LW (Example : ACMA Submission 2009)
• Shortwave (HF 3.0 MHz - 25.6 MHz) (& the ALLISS transmission system technology portal).
• Digital Television (DTV, HDTV) & Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)
• Press releases (not archived).

International & Domestic Broadcasting : Consulting Service

• All consultations are on a case-by-case basis.
  
• See consultation rates for current rate structure.
  
• Power_Broadcasting_SA_AU (Yahoo Groups) -- customer email list
  

Secure Telecommunications Systems : Consulting Service, research done or ongoing

• ECM, a factoring idea [of modest use] for secure messaging.
  
• ZIP (related Codegroup Project [ p1 p2 A B C D ] )
  
• Ionosonde (Using Ionosounders to relay data, who knew?) 

Scientific Research : BOINC Distributed Computing Project Proposals

1. Deep Space Network @ Home (Recovers Voyager Program mission & New Horizons mission telemetry) -- an important "add on" the the currently existing Deep Space telemetry reception systems.
   
2. Cross Project Multiplier Proposal, a method of rewarding participation in more than one BOINC project. This proposal only applies to BOINC Account Managers (essentially websites that communicate with BOINC clients via the Account Manager API). This idea may (or may not) be embeddable in the overall BOINC design.
   
3. On hold due to global finance system crisis : Error Correction (Codes) @ Home (Monte Carlo Error Correction kernel & toolkit / research suite).
   
4. "US" Hyperinflation Predictor @ Home (to predict hyperinflation risk in an economy).
   
5. Computational Climate Prediction / Fluid Dynamics / Cryptography coprocessor for distributed computing (PDF), a current ongoing research project in need of financial support.
   
6. Computational Climate Prediction "Resolution Independent Trickle Data Interface for Distributed Computing".
   

• HVAC distribution system failure caused by geomagnetic storms can avoided by using voltage division and current division principals in the form of a redundant array of AC transformers.
  
• At least 3000 HVAC Phase Inverters are needed in North America to cope with Geomagnetically induced currents from magnetic storms. The North American power grid will be more reliable during geomagnetic storms if at least "100 islands" of separated HVAC transmission networks. HVDC islanding is also recommended. 
  
• "Self Sufficient" 128 Kv to 32 Kv battery powered isolators are needed to island the branches of the HVAC grid for extreme and routine DC-bias related transient events such as solar storms. {write research paper}.
• Storage Dams (and Run of the River Dams with substantial storage capacity) can be prevented from silting up, if the tunnels used to create the dams originally are used to drain the applicable lakes. {write research paper}.

2. The Monaco-Gibraltar solution for a Quebec Sovereign State.
   
3. Power Broadcasting was the first to suggest that TVNZ launch a 24 hour news channel [post]. This suggestion did lead to the creation of TVNZ 7. Sadly, TVNZ 7 is no more. The possibility still exists that such a 24 hour news channel can be launched in NZ later on.
   
4. Current podcasts (iTunes) and rss subscriptions (Opera) [opml; the OPML standard]. These feed compilations are are provided as is, and only updated yearly. Delete feeds you don't need.
   
5. NZ Political Cartoons (website) nzcartoons.co.nz (museum) cartoons.org.nz
6. Streaming telly over the internet : Livestation, AnyTV Player, Zattoo.com, TVcatchup.com.
   
7. Archival Commonwealth Film & Television you probably have not seen : Australia On Screen, ScreenSound Australia, Canadian National Film Board, NZ On Screen, NZ National Film Unit.
   

1. The 0th Law of Microeconomics and Macroeconomics, any Economist or economic theory that does not heed this law just cannot be trusted.
   
2. The US and European Union will only recover from the 2008-2009 mortgage market induced depression around 2026 at the earliest.
3. The ongoing Global Economic Depression that has been created as a result of the Global Finance Crisis needs a name, so here are some suggested names.
   
4. The Gilt Dragon Omen (aka The "Vergulde Draeck" Omen) that will announce the decline and collapse of the US Dollar.
