Broadcast License and Coverage
Retro Hit Radio originally broadcast in stereo on 88.1 FM, which is one of 16 New Zealand Government licensed LPFM frequencies (GURL) available only in New Zealand. Broadcast power is restricted to 500 mW EIRP. The Manukau broadcast site for Retro Hit Radio was elevated at 140m above sea level at Goodwood Heights (near Manurewa), and provided a radius of approx 8–12 km of coverage in any direction. This is due to the flat local geography and well-serviced transmission equipment - including a PLL PRO III 4W NRG transmitter and J-pole antenna. The Kohimarama transmission was from Rawhitiroa Road which overlooks Kohimarama and St Heliers.

“It would much conduce to the public benefit, if, instead of discouraging free-thinking, there was erected in the midst of this free country a dianoetic academy, or seminary for free-thinkers, provided with retired chambers, and galleries, and shady walks and groves, where, after seven years spent in silence and meditation, a man might commence a genuine free-thinker, and from that time forward, have license to think what he pleased, and a badge to distinguish him from counterfeits.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
