I've recently heard about this frequency and am considering starting a Part 15 broadcast on it
--- Just kidding,.... I don't know if anyone here is a fan of 'Coast to Coast AM', I know often their stuff is way out there, but I like this late night programing anyway. and apparently I'm not the only one, because it's been the #1 late night AM show nationally for about 8 years.
Last night the topic was 'The Power of 528 Hz' , and while I know it has absolutely nothing to do with broadcasting, I can't help the fact that, as of late, whenever I hear anything about frequencies or power output, or anything along those lines, the thought of Part15 broadcasting instantly pops into my mind!
So that is about the only way this subject has any relevance to being on topic at all. But I've come this far with it, so I'll continue (even though I don't know why I should);
To start with, this isn't even one of the better shows, so again I don't even know why I'm posting this.. I suppose it's because it has to do with hertz - and part15 is involved with hertz - and I'm loony.
If anyone cares to check it out you can listen/download it this week from KSFO Radio MP3 Archives for Sunday here: http://www.ksfo560.com/Article.asp?id=534876 - by clicking the "11 p.m. - Midnight" link, (the show starts about 8 minutes in), and then for the rest of the show, go to "Monday" and start at the "Mid- 1 a.m." link.

From the Coast To Coast AM website:
(it cost to download the commercial and news free version there)
Guest host Rob Simone (email) was joined by Dr. Len Horowitz, authority on public health and consumer protection, for a discussion on the remarkable properties of the 528 Hz frequency. "The way that the entire universe is constructed," he claimed, "is through a musical, mathematical matrix composed of nine core creative frequencies." Based on his research, Horowitz contended that the 528 Hz frequency is the key component of this matrix.
He explained that NASA studies show that the sun's output contains 528 Hz as "kind of a central frequency within it." In turn, he said, this frequency can also be found in oxygen as a result of the photosynthesis of plants. "All of the botanical world is actually celebrating the 528 Hz frequency," Horowitz declared. Ultimately, he observed that the frequency can be found in "the heart of everything" including sacred geometry as well as everyday sounds such as laughter, sighing, and yawning. Additionally, he said that the frequency has remarkable healing powers, including the ability to repair damaged DNA. While 528 Hz may not be well known to the everyday populace, Horowitz mused that "people are inherently aware, in their hearts, of this frequency. It resonates in their heart as joy."
Horowitz also alleged that the current standard tuning frequency of A440 Hz is the result of a nefarious conspiracy aimed at blocking the power of the 528 Hz frequency. According to him, A440 Hz was chosen as the standard because "military acoustic warfare research" determined that it was the most dissonant and stressful frequency. Horowitz said that this reliance on A440 Hz results in a suppression of the 528 Hz frequency in humans. Concurrently, the "left brain, egoic mind" is stimulated by A440 Hz, which he called a "major factor" in science "becoming the new God." However, Horowitz said, as knowledge of the 528 Hz frequency becomes more prevalent, musicians are now making instruments tuned to the powerful resonance. "Globally, we have a musical revolution," he mused, "we call it the '528 Love Revolution.'"
I've heard "Coast to Coast AM" here and
there over the years. I have heard some
things on there that sound scientifically
plausible. I have heard crazy things. And
I have heard things that have scared me
enough to turn off the radio.
I remember Art Bell, the original host, who
is a ham, and really loves radio. I remember
the C Crane radio commercials. (C Crane is
a very good company, still.) At one point, Art
Bell came to be very well known. He was a
guest on some TV shows in the late 1990s.
Also, I fondly remember the commercials
for "Storable Food."
I've also listened to the show on a lot of different
AM stations just for fun. Usually, however -
especially in the last ten years or so - I have
been too tired to understand what they are
talking about. So sleep has won over.
My brother and I are very interested in the
history and evolution of broadcasting.
"Coast to Coast" will go down as one of the
big shows. I remember when Larry King was
on the radio all night long (or so it seemed.)
Back further, there was a guy named Herb
Jepko (Sp?). He had a show called the
"Night Cap Radio Network." He was originally
on just a couple of stations. One night in
Connecticut in the 1970s I heard his show
on KSL/1160/50kW/Salt Lake City, UT.
1160 was really clear
then. KSL came in great that night. Later on,
Herb expanded the show to about 150 stations.
Then something went wrong and everything
collapsed. Herb's show suddenly disappeared
from all 150 stations.
WTIC/AM/1080/50kW/Hartford, CT (3 miles
from me) had an interesting show at night
called, "The Other Side Of The Day."
When I was a kid, my crystal set was tuned
to WTIC 24 hours a day. If I got up in the
middle of the night, I would put the headphones
on and listen for a minute. It was sort of an
easy listening music show.
I don't know anything about the 528 Hz thing,
so this has now become a part of my education.
By the way, there are some Part 15 experimenters
that are trying to transmit radio on 9 kHz!
(Very show data rates for sure.)
I have heard about that somewhere. I guess it
is still on the web someplace.
By the way, I mentioned before that my brother
and I are both radio historians. I am - on a
casual level, but he is REALLY serious about it.
It's a funny thing - he is not a very technical
guy. He is more into what was ON the radio.
I am more interested in the hardware.
Unfortunately, I cannot get him to take my
Part 15 station seriously. But I guess that
is because MICRO 1.69/1.7 is mostly a technical
experiment with no real programming.
Anyway, thanks for the interesting info, Rich.
Best Wishes,
Bruce, MICRO 1690/1700
It is ironic but not very long ago on C2C, they had another guest on board discussing the benefits of 420hz base instead of 440.
There is truth to both in fact. Since everything has a resonant frequency, be it organic matter or non-organic matter, it stands to reason that when things resonate, they work. When they do not resonate, they do not work, or not work very well. (tune your antenna!!!) 🙂
RFB
Art Bell has a tremendous following still, there are a lot of websites devoted to him, and he STILL does step-in as guest host on Coast To Coast AM about once a month even now. Also, a couple times a month the "Somewhere in Time" rebroadcast of Art's old episodes are aired on Coast.
I used to listen to the show years back rather frequently, but didn't start listening again until about 6 months ago.. I often tend to be up late and will usually have the show playing, and only half listening while doing something else, but when something in a topic captures my attention I will usually go to the KFSO website the next day and download the show and listen again and/or archive it.

I agree completely, but as of yet I've never been so alarmed as to turn it off. But in general, about 50% of the time I find the programing to be fascinating.
I don't recall Herb Jepko or the Other Side of Day show..
I don't know how long Coast has been on the air, but do recall, as a young teen in the mid 70's laying in bed late at night and on a regular basis listening to a show very similar to it, and if Coast was airing back in the 1970's, it probably was it.

Kind of makes you wonder if there was ever any research on particular AM public broadcast frequencies effect on it's human listeners. - not the programming itself, but the frequency. hmmm..
There is speculation that the massive increase in cell phone towers have some connection to the disappearing honey bees, in that it caues them to loose their natural homing directions.
I mean the say that the color spectrum have a degree of specific effects on us, and color is carried by light, and light is a frequency, not so different in theory from radio waves (in my understanding).
Frequencies affect all kinds of things
Kind of makes me wonder.
I have read some interesting articles regarding receivers that tune into naturally occuring signals from the audio frequencies on up.
I don't recall mention of 528 Hz specifically but, if enough electromagnetic energy is radiated, an antenna can intercept it and the appropriate receiver can represent it as sound waves or collect it by other recording means.
Here is a link to THE NASA ONLINE VLF RECEIVER that looks interesting. Signals from 100 Hz to 2400 Hz can be played.
Here is a link for an ELF/VLF RECEIVER PROJECT that looks interesting and perhaps you can tune into the Universe at 528 Hz.
The piano has 88 keys, and key # 52 C5 (1-octave above middle C) at a frequency of 523.251Hz. The next key, C#5 is a frequency of 554.365Hz.
Indeed 528Hz is jumped over.
The only instruments that could possibly play 528Hz would have to have a slide-capability, like a trombone, only I'm not sure a trombone can go quite that high. Well, a stringed instrument could do it.
A variable audio oscillator with a frequency counter could be set at 528Hz. Somebody with the equipment should try living with that tone and report to us.
If it really is good we could send it on Part 15 radio. A real public service health producing tone.
And here tells you how to tune your guitar to it :

I checked out your link Bob, I only skimmed over the page, but from what I gather that contraption could certainly do the the job of picking up this dna repairing frequency!
Carl might be onto it. NOTE: We're talking about audio frequencies, not RF.
Almost all instruments, including the human voice, have root frequencies between A220 and A440, or if you're working with an equalizer with tick marks, 250Hz-500Hz. I bring this up because it's part of a procedure for getting rid of audio system noise on the fly during a live performance, using parametric or mid-sweep equalizers. But it's importance here lies in what happens to tonal harmonics affected by changing the value of root frequencies, and its attendant chord notes (inversions, fifths, etc.).
The point is ... we are at a true new-age threshold where psychoacoustic research is showing us new things. Will an orchestra tuned to resonate at 528Hz relax our nerves or send us into a murderous frenzy? Will it have some kind of power to heal, or just make us crazy because it's slightly dissonant with the standard tonal system we've become used to in our very bones?
In the Mid-East, which seems to be constantly at war, the historic music is not based upon the same structures we in the West have come to standardize as pleasing. Not sure what that says, or even if it has any intrinsic value whatsoever 😉
You don't need a slide instrument to tune to 528Hz. A viola (no frets) has a center frequency at C5 or 523.25Hz ... very easy to tune it up to 528Hz. But not so with a piano. Tuning a piano takes a day, even with the best software. Then maybe you could think about tuning an orchestra. But we're talking about a different approach anyway.
Pyschoacoustic research is a fascinating subject ... one of those "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." things. I often think life isn't long enough to explore all the stuff we want to, or wish that I was two people, could be two places at once.
ASIDE: I had to make a decision whether to broadcast a live performance of a young group who just released a great new album, or go to a performance of Lakmé at the church where I normally run sound (opera singers don't need sound reinforcement), where the sanctuary was designed by an acoustic engineer. Toughest personal decision of this type I've had to make since the New Year.
Ken, I would have opted for recording the pop music, but I am only able to say that because last year I attended a performance of Lakme and got into trouble. I wrote an un-sought critical review of the opera to share with my date, thinking she'd admire me for being so funny, but she was highly annoyed and thought I was complaining about going with her. I remember one thing I wrote: There is one really good song in the piece, so the composer uses it about six times. And then at the end the suicide scene is done with great cheer as if the chorus is singing,"We're dead, goodnight everybody!"
The audio editing program Audacity is able to generate tones, and I will produce a 528 tone to run as a program on Saturday night. Then I will watch for the world to change.
By the way, a 528 audio signal coming out of an amplifier is an electronic signal and could be sent by extra-long antenna to an LF radio tuned to 528.
if only 528 hz was 528 khz...
an LF radio indeed lol!
I wasn't sorry I chose to broadcast the band, but as for Lakmé, I suppose you have to be some into opera, and the performers' interpretations have a huge impact, of course, on how it goes.
"thinking she'd admire me for being so funny, but she was highly annoyed and thought I was complaining about going with her."
Heh-heh ... well, let that be a lesson I guess. I never know how a woman will react when I'm trying to be funny. I think a lot of men are in that dilemma. I recall a scene from "I Robot" ... same thing happened to Will Smith's character.
The girl star in the one here (I managed to listen for about 15 min. before I had to go finish sound checks for the b'cast) was young and beautiful. People were in tears, the reviews were great. It was the most well-attended opera performance I've seen/heard on the island.
I don't think I would have attempted to broadcast (or even record) it ... the way would have been with the oh choir mics, but they're mounted behind the performers (except the choral ensemble) and aren't good recording mics. The only other way would have been with stage mics, which would have been horribly distracting.
Speaking of women.. Carl, Listening to Jack Nicholson ranting about women on your KDX "Women" show a few weeks ago, influenced me to watch the source of that audio 'Witches of Eastwood' again. That rant has got to my favorite parts of the movie.
