Hi there Friends in Radio
Another week - another Issue.
Thanks to all those that sent in their items.
We were lucky enough to hear Radio St Helena at the best level yet here
at KIWI QTH - what amazed me that we were able to "get through"
on the telephone first attempt.
We hope to make it three great receptions in three weekends,
First was Radio San Marino Int
second was Radio St Helena
what will today give us ??
Well onto other news

MICROBROADCASTING - USA:
For immediate release:
In response to the direct attack on micropower broadcasting by the
National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) we, as a coalition of
Micropower Broadcasters, supporters and interested parties, make the
following statement.
By ordering its members to actively seek out and report all "pirate"
radio
activity in their respective areas the NAB is advocating a direct attack
on the free speech rights of micropower broadcasters and the communities
they serve. Such actions are fundamentally anti-democratic and typify
the behavior of a greedy, mendacious corporate thug and bully.
To portray people and communities representing a diverse range of
viewpoints and cultures, and who merely want to have a voice, as
"pirates" is slanderous at best. We are engaging in protected free
speech activity, not skulking around committing felonious acts.
We are faced with a broadcast regulatory structure which precludes all
but the wealthy from having a voice. Prior to 1980 there was at least a
possibility of obtaining a class D 10 watt license. That classification
was removed by the FCC after 10 years of intensive lobbying by the
Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) which sought to establish
regional flagship NPR stations and did not want the 10 watt stations in
their way.
Without the vast resources of either the NAB or CPB with which to
influence congressional decisions and regulatory re-structuring, our
only
option is to do what has historically been done, from the tea dumping in
Boston Harbor to current struggles for free expression and basic human
rights.
Accelerated by the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the
concentration of broadcast media resources into fewer and fewer hands
has made the notion of "public service" a bad joke. It is leading to an
ever
escalating elimination of local origination. Selling prices of
broadcast
facilities have reached astronomical levels. For over 60 years members
of
the NAB have been allowed to make an obscene level of profit from a
public resource and trust. In addition, in concert with government and
corporate interests, they are instrumental in either limiting or
squelching the terms of debate on a wide spectrum of issues vital to a
democratic and free society.
What are the FCC and NAB afraid of ? In a situation of 1-50 watts
versus 10,000 to 125,000 watts it has to be something much more
fundamental than market share. Based on statements made by the FCC it
is clear they have no thought of ever revisiting the issue of issuing
broadcast licenses for stations with less than 100 watts of power. What
they are doing is issuing large numbers of translator licenses for
transmitters with less than 100 watts in order to import an outside
signal into a shadowed community. In essence, they are creating a dual
standard which restricts free speech activity based upon point of origin
by denying communities the right to broadcast at less than 100 watts.
We are willing at any time to sit down with the FCC and the NAB to
discuss these issues which have profound significance for our society.
As a possible solution we propose a deregulated, low power, inexpensive
FM (and possibly AM) broadcast service. Standing in the way of
thousands of communities having their own voice is an entrenched federal
agency serving not the public interest but corporate greed and
influence.
It is not our intent to interfere with existing broadcast services. We
urge all micropower broadcasters to properly select frequencies, use
frequency stable transmitters, employ harmonic filtering and control
modulation levels.
Further, in closing, if the NAB continues this "seek and destroy"
agenda,
we will fight back. Local broadcast entities who engage in a campaign
against micropower free radio stations purely on the basis of their
existence will be targeted along with their advertisers for a public
boycott. When local businesses advertisers begin to have pickets and
leafleters on their doorstep it will become very clear to local NAB
members that their course of action is a very unwise one to pursue. In
the court of public opinion we will prevail.

RADIO ST HELENA BROADCAST:
THANK YOU to all of you who emailed me during the broadcast. It was
really a thrill reading all those emails dropping in.
As you understand, just a few could be read as the telephone-line was
really "hot" all the time. If you remembered I asked you just to send
short messsages, well most of you did but there was also some reception
reports as well.
We are a little old-fashioned here at Radio St Helena, so when the RMS
anchors with mailbags, we act like childs - are there any letters for
me? Please, don't take this moment away from us - it's just that mail
let us remembering the broadcast a little longer.
So please, send all reception reports by snail-mail.
Greetings to all of you from me and the rest of the crew at R
St Helena "The Voice of the South Atlantic".
Derek Richards
PS. Since St Helena doesn't have any internetconnection yet, it's
not possible to reach me or someone else at St Helena
through email. This was a temporary occasion during the
transmission. DS.
