Coast Guard and National Weather Service trans- mitting facilities are listed, giving location, name, call sign, trans- mitting power, mode and frequency, and antenna height. Coastal display stations and telephone facilities are also listed. Facilities serving off-shore and high-seas areas are described. Operating policies and procedures for all systems are documented. The work described was performed in the first phase of a study aimed at improving the dissemination of weather information to marine users and at establishing guidelines for future Coast Guard research and develop- ment efforts in this field. 17.

Price FOREWORD This is the first of four reports prepared by Computer Sciences Corporation for the U.S. Coast Guard during the course of a Study of How Best to Utilize Coast Guard Communication Facilities for Weather Dissemination to Marine Users. The study was performed under Contract DOT-CG-OO , 579-A, which was awarded to CSC on August 31, 1970 and completed August 16, 1971. The study was divided into four phases: • Task 1 - Familiarization of the study team with existing marine weather dissemination systems , and the character- ization of these systems in terms of their facilities, policies and procedures. • Task 2 - Measurement of effectiveness of existing and planned weather dissemination systems, following the development of standards and criteria against which to measure this effectiveness. • Task 3 - Formulation of recommendations for changes in the facilities, policies and procedures of the U.S. Coast Guard and other government and nongovernment agencies considered necessary to improve the dissemination of weather information to marine users. « Task 4 - Generation of guidelines for future USCG research and development effort in the area of weather dissemina- tion and alerting techniques in terms of operational con- straints, performance requirements and cost data. CSC wishes to acknowledge the assistance of CDR B. F. Hollingsworth, USCG, as Technical Representative to this study and also of LCDR E. Jones and CWO R. J. Williams in making data available for the study. li TABLE OF CONTENTS Section Page FOREWORD ii 1 THE ENVIRONMENT 1-1 1.1 Growth 1-1 1.2 Change 1-1 1.3 Division of Authority 1-2 2 COASTAL SYSTEMS CHARACTERIZATION 2-1 2.1 National Weather Service VHF Weather 2.2 Transmission System 2-1 2.1.1 Introduction 2-1 2.1.2 Policies 2-2 2.1.3 Facilities 2-3 2.1.4 Procedures 2-4 2.3 Marine Weather Dissemination by Commercial AM/FM Radio 2-10 2.2.1 Introduction 2-10 2.2.2 Policies 2-10 2.2.3 Facilities 2-11 2.2.4 Procedures 2-11 Coast Guard Weather Dissemination by Radio 2-25 2.3.1 Introduction 2-25 2.3.2 Policies 2-25 2.3.3 Facilities 2-26 2.3.4 Procedures 2-27 2.4 Public Coast Stations VHF/FM-MF/AM 2-35 2.4.1 Introduction 2-35 2.4.2 Policies 2-35 2.4.3 Facilities 2-36 2.4.4 Procedures 2-37 2.5 Coastal Warning Display System 2-51 2.5.1 Introduction 2-51 2.5.2 Policies 2-51 iii TABLE OF CONTENTS (Continued) Section Page 2.5.3 Facilities 2-52 2.5.4 Procedures 2-52 2.6 Weather Information by Telephone 2-55 2.6.1 Introduction 2-55 2.6.2 Policies 2-55 2.6.3 Facilities 2-57 2.6.4 Procedures 2-58 3 OFF-SHORE SYSTEMS CHARACTERIZATION 3-1 3.1 General 3-1 3.2 Medium Frequency Radio Telegraph Transmissions 3-1 3.2.1 Introduction 3-1 3.2.2 Policies 3-2 3.2.3 Facilities 3-2 3.2.4 Procedures 3-7 3.3 Weather Dissemination by Medium Frequency Radio Telephone 3-8 3.3.1 Introduction 3-8 3.3.2 Policies 3-8 3.3.3 Facilities 3-9 3.3.4 Procedures 3-10 4 HIGH SEAS SYSTEMS CHARACTERIZATION 4-1 4.1 General 4-1 4.2 High Seas Radio Telegraph Broadcasts 4-5 4.2.1 Introduction 4-5 4.2.2 Policies 4-5 4.2.3 Facilities 4-6 4.2.4 Procedures 4-8 4.3 High Seas Telephone Broadcasts 4-11 4.3.1 Introduction 4-11 4.3.2 Policies 4-11 IV TABLE OF CONTENTS (Continued) Section Page 4.3.3 Facilities 4-12 4.3.4 Procedures 4-14 4.4 Radio Teleprinter Weather Broadcasts 4-17 4.4.1 Introduction 4-17 4.4.2 Policies 4-17 4.4.3 Facilities 4-18 4.4.4 Procedures 4-18 4.5 High Seas Weather Broadcasts by Radio Facsimile 4-19 4.5.1 Introduction 4-19 4.5.2 Policies 4-19 4.5.3 Facilities 4-20 4.5.4 Procedures 4-23 Appendix A FCC RULE CHANGES A-l B COASTAL WARNING DISPLAY STATIONS LISTING B-l C COMMANDANT INSTRUCTION 3140.2 C-l D REQUIREMENT FOR MARINE METEOROLOGICAL SERVICES, FINAL REPORT, W.M.O...

  • Media Announcement
    MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BAY AREA RADIO HALL OF FAME ANNOUNCES FIRST CLASS OF HONOREES San Francisco (October 4, 2006) — The Bay Area Radio Museum is proud to announce the first group of inductees into the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame. The selections were made following a year of study during which input from broadcast professionals, fans and historians was weighed to establish criteria and nominees for enshrinement. Among the first inductees are pioneers from the earliest period of local radio development nearly a century ago, as well as popular personalities from the modern era. Many of the names, such as Don Sherwood and Tom Donahue, may be instantly recognizable. Others, such as Colin B. Kennedy and Harrison Holliway, may be less so. In either case, it is hoped that the creation of the Hall of Fame will help to honor the men and women who have made Bay Area radio so popular over the years, and will make their names and accomplishments known for generations to come. For the near future, the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame will exist primarily on the Internet at www.barhof.com, although a permanent exhibit is planned at the old KRE radio studios in Berkeley, which are being refurbished by the California Historical Radio Society (CHRS). The Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame is spearheaded by the Bay Area Radio Museum, which is an affiliate of the Broadcast & Newspaper Museum of Northern California consortium, which also includes CHRS and the Broadcast Legends. The radio museum was founded in 2005, and currently presents archival broadcast recordings, photographs, documents and historical essays on its website at www.bayarearadio.org.

INTRODUCTION 1. In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (“NAL”), we find that Vision Latina Broadcasting, Inc. (“Vision Latina Broadcasting”), licensee of Station KBPO, Port Neches, Texas (the “Station”), apparently willfully and repeatedly violated sections 73.1125 and 73.3526 of the Commission’s rules (“Rules”)1 by failing to maintain: (1) a main studio with a meaningful staff and management presence; and (2) a complete public inspection file and make that file available. We conclude that Vision Latina Broadcasting is apparently liable for a forfeiture in the amount of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000). In addition, no later than 30 days from the date of this NAL, Vision Latina Broadcasting must submit a statement signed under penalty of perjury by an officer or director of the licensee that: (1) Station KBPO’s main studio is staffed full-time by full-time managerial and staff personnel; and (2) Station KBPO’s public inspection file is complete. II. BACKGROUND 2.
