Comment Date: 60 Days After Publication in Federal Register Reply Comment Date: 90 Days After Publication in Federal Register I. INTRODUCTION 1. In accordance with Sections 309(a) and 310(d) of the Communications Act of 1934 (the 1934 Act), the Commission issues new radio broadcast licenses and approves the assignment and transfer of those licenses only when those actions are consistent with the public interest, 1 convenience, and necessity. Pursuant to its public interest authority, the Commission historically has sought to promote diversity and competition in broadcasting by limiting by rule the number of 2 radio stations a single party could own or acquire in a local market. In Section 202(b) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the 1996 Act), Congress directed the Commission to revise its 3 local radio ownership rule to relax the numerical station limits in the ownership rules. In the almost six years since the Commission implemented this congressional directive, the local radio market has been significantly transformed as many communities throughout the country have experienced increased consolidation of radio station ownership. In this proceeding, we seek to examine the effect that this consolidation has had on the public and to consider possible changes to our local radio ownership rules and policies to reflect the current radio marketplace.

HOWEVER, due to the fact that the 1969 text is no longer in publication, complicated by the fact that these copies are forty-four (44) years old and in a very fragile condition, this PDF version of the text was created for student use in the Department of Mathematics and Science. - Professor Charles Rubenstein, January 2013 Man of High Fidelity: Edwin Howard Armstrong EDWIN HOWARD ARMSTRONG Was the last – and perhaps the least known – of the great American Inventors. Without his major contributions, the broadcasting industry would not be what it is today, and there would be no FM radio. But in time of mushrooming industry and mammoth corporations, the recognition of individual genius is often refused, and always minimized. This is the extraordinary true story of the discovery of high fidelity, the brilliant man and his devoted wife who battled against tremendous odds to have it adopted, and their long fight against the corporations that challenged their right to the credit and rewards. Mrs. Armstrong finally ensured that right nearly ten years after her husband’s death.

In accordance with the provisions of Section 73.2080(f)(4) of the Commission’s EEO rules, the FCC annually audits the EEO programs of randomly selected broadcast licensees. Each year, approximately five percent of all radio and television stations are selected for EEO audits. Attached are a list of the radio stations to which the audit letters were sent, as well as the text of the June 26, 2013 audit letter. The list and the letter can also be viewed by accessing the Media Bureau’s current EEO headline page on the FCC website at http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/equal-employment-opportunity-2013-headlines . For stations that have a website and five or more full-time employees: We remind you that you must post your most recent EEO public file report on your website by the deadline by which it must be placed in the public file, in accordance with 47 C.F.R. § 73.2080(c)(6). This will be examined as part of the audit. Failure to post the required report on a station website is a violation of the EEO Rule and subject to sanctions, including a forfeiture.

  • Alignment and Neutralization of the Early Ac Trf & Neutrodyne Receivers

    Alignment and Neutralization of the Early Ac Trf & Neutrodyne Receivers

    ALIGNMENT AND NEUTRALIZATION OF THE EARLY AC TRF & NEUTRODYNE RECEIVERS by Lane S. Upton 3788 S. Loretta Dr. Salt Lake City, UT 84106-2956 For a radio to work as it was originally designed, it must be in proper alignment. This means that at any single point on the dial all tuned circuits must be at resonance and the dial calibration should be correct. In the case of neutrodyne receivers, additional steps must be taken to assure that each neutralized amplifier stage is adjusted properly. This will assure that the full gain can be realized. The purpose of this article is to provide a detailed review of the steps necessary to completely align these receivers. Much was written on this subject when the radios were relatively new, but it was all directed toward working on a "modern" receiver only a few years old. Today, we must look at warped variable condensers, worn wiper contacts, poor ground connections, coil windings that have shifted position, incorrectly positioned coils, loose shield cans, and many other problems brought about by age and abuse. The time spent doing a complete alignment will typically result in a radio with greatly improved selectivity and sensitivity. This is especially true at the lower frequency portion of the dial. Preliminary Work The initial work on a set must include inspection of all the components that will affect alignment. This should not be limited to the variable condenser and coils, but must include all other items that can have any effect. The following steps represent a basic outline of the preliminary work that should be carried out.
