The Society of Broadcast Engineers, Incorporated (“SBE”)1 respectfully submits its Comments in response to portions of the Commission’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 13-139, 28 FCC Rcd. 15221, released October 31, 2013 in the above-captioned proceeding (the “Notice”).2 The Notice proposes “to introduce a number of possible improvements to the … AM… radio service and the rules pertaining to AM broadcasting.” The Commission also seeks “to revitalize further the AM band by identifying ways to enhance AM broadcast quality and proposing changes to our technical rules that would enable AM stations to improve their service.” The Commission proposes to “help AM broadcasters better serve the public, thereby advancing the Commission’s fundamental goals of localism, competition, and diversity in broadcast media.” SBE applauds this effort and offers the following comments on some of the technical issues raised in this proceeding. Specifically, SBE offers its comments on four issues that will provide both immediate and long-term relief to AM broadcast licensees: 1 SBE is the national association of broadcast engineers and technical communications professionals, with more than 5,000 members worldwide. 2 The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking was published in the Federal Register November 20, 2013.

Stavitsky Michael W. Huntsberger The case of digital radio in North America illuminates the contradiction between federal communication policy ideals and realpolitik . The policy of the United States government gives official imprimatur to robust competition and to local broadcasting that serves ‘the public interest, convenience or necessity,’ in the words of the federal licensing standard (Radio Act of 1927). In the decades since the passage of the Federal Radio Act, notions of capitalism and communication have intertwined as they have been set down in the re- conceptions and revisions of the original statute.

  • Fcc and Am Stereo: a Deregulatory Breach of Duty
    THE FCC AND AM STEREO: A DEREGULATORY BREACH OF DUTY JASON B. MEYERt The trend toward governmental deregulation of private enterprise, which began in earnest in the 1970's1 and has gathered momentum under the Reagan administration, has had a significant effect on the telecommunications industry. The Federal Communications Commis- sion (FCC) has reduced regulation of operation and maintenance log- ging2 and eliminated minimum aural transmission power require- ments.' Similarly, a major effort has been made in Congress to enact a bill deregulating broadcast programming.4 In 1984 the FCC justified eliminating or relaxing many licensing requirements on the grounds that such "actions further the Commission's goals of creating, to the maximum extent possible, an unregulated, competitive environment for t A.B. 1980, Princeton University; J.D.

  • Short Wave Radio
    Short Wave Radio A Working Electronic Sculpture Honoring the History of Radio Please note: This radio picks up short wave stations, but for your best satisfaction it will require a little time and attention, both to learn how to operate it and to appreciate the principles and history that it embodies. You’ll find bare-bones instructions on this page and more details inside the notebook. To turn the radio on, rotate the volume control clockwise until you hear a click, then set its dial to 3 or 4. If the radio was not already turned on, you’ll have to wait about 30 seconds for its vacuum tubes to warm up. •Put on the headphones. •Set the radio’s other controls as follows: •RF Gain: Fully clockwise. •Preselector: 1 •Tuning: 20 •Fine Tuning: 5.0 (This works like a clock, only with ten “hours” instead of 12) •Regeneration: 7 (Or advance slowly clockwise from zero until just after the point you hear a louder hiss in the headphones.) •Volume: Set to a comfortable level, usually about 4. Now, slowly adjust the TUNING control back and forth looking for squeals that indicate signals. (The shortwave broadcast band with 31 meter wavelength is located between about 10 and 30 on the dial.) You’ll should find a few unless ionospheric conditions are particularly poor on this day. Leave the TUNING control set on a loud squeal. Then slowly adjust the FINE TUNING to “zero beat.” (You’ll notice as you move the dial across a signal, it starts with a high-pitched note, moving down to a low-pitched or zero note, then back up to high pitch again.
