Background Information

In 1997 a group of people gathered in Moonta to launch a Community FM radio station.

Coping with the regulatory framework, finding potential sites for a studio, broadcasting tower
and equipment consumed the group for much of that year.

In March 1998 Gulf FM received its licence to broadcast 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

GULF FM broadcasts fron studios in Kadina and transmits from a tower situated at Arthurton, a few kilometres south of Kadina.

The coverage from the transmitter is within a 50 kilometre radius allowing a good coverage for the whole of the Yorke Peninsula.

A higher tower to be built at the new premises will allow GULF FM to fully utilize it's current transmitting power thus providing a better, clearer reception for the listeners.
