Part 15 info across the web

November 18, 2006 by scwis Leave a Comment

More Part 15 info from across the web, some you might have missed…

Some interesting commentary on mediageek.org can be found HERE and HERE and
HERE

A nice mega-list on www.radiowrench.com/sonic has essential schematics, manuals and circuit diagrams from RadioWrench

Looking to electrocute yourself? Try these super dangerous vacuum tube schematics home.comcast.net/~suptjud/AMtransmitter.htm

Here is the PDF file for BMI offering Part 15 radio licenses for represented materials. Despite the way this reads, BMI doesn’t really represent every note of music that’s ever been written, but if you want to play the hits, you’ll probably need to talk to BMI – bring money – as of this publication, $200.00

Another PDF file summarizing an LPAM FCC filing. Try not to laugh when you read the part where they say “no one has been able to provide in the record the true number of Part 15 AM stations that are truly providing a community, university, school or church service and are not used for utility purposes such as “talking signs.” As Jim Rome would say “ERRRRRRRRR, check yourself!” or check our site…

Wow, we are now on the www.retards.org bookmark lists!

I wish I could remember why I bookmarked this www.theradiosource.com/faqs-am.htm page, I think it was just interesting…

It looks like Gospel Radio has updated after the death of James Cunningham.

Mono vs Stereo – what the big boys seem to say…

January 16, 2006 by scwis 3 Comments

From Dave Hughes’ D.C. Radio and Television news web site: Mono Returns To DC’s FM Band – 1/16 – Mono is making a comeback on the DC area’s FM band. Radio engineers have long known that a mono FM signal has more range than a stereo one does. In fringe areas, a stereo signal can feature an annoying hiss. The resurrection of mono arrived several years ago, when Bonneville’s WTOP started an FM relay on Warrenton’s 94.3, which got moved to 107.7. The mono signal improved coverage into the DC metro. And since the programming was news and talk, the loss of stereo didn’t seem to matter to listeners…
More…
Then, Bonneville stripped stereo from its 104.1 and 103.9, two edge-of-the-metro area signals that carried “modern” music-based Z104. It improved the coverage area, but didn’t seem to do a lot for the station’s anemic ratings. Z104 was decapitated earlier this month. And, now, Bonneville is running WGMS in mono on 104.1 and 103.9. Will classical music fans appreciate Bach and Beethoven in a more “flatter” sounding mono? A quick check of the DC FM band finds several other stations broadcasting in mono, including the new WTOP news signal on 103.5, WGMS’s old home. Also in mono: CSPAN’s wonk-talk WCSP 90.1, which battles closely-spaced Culpeper’s Christian contemporary WPER 89.9 in parts of Northern Virginia, and Mega’s Spanish “classica” music rimshots of WBZS 92.7 in Prince Frederick and WBPS 94.3 in Warrenton. Still talking in stereo: NPR-based WAMU 88.5 and WETA-FM 90.9
