  • Revitalization of the AM Radio Service ) ) ) )
    Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, DC In the matter of: ) ) Revitalization of the AM Radio Service ) MB Docket 13-249 ) ) COMMENTS OF REC NETWORKS One of the primary goals of REC Networks (“REC”)1 is to assure a citizen’s access to the airwaves. Over the years, we have supported various aspects of non-commercial micro- broadcast efforts including Low Power FM (LPFM), proposals for a Low Power AM radio service as well as other creative concepts to use spectrum for one way communications. REC feels that as many organizations as possible should be able to enjoy spreading their message to their local community. It is our desire to see a diverse selection of voices on the dial spanning race, culture, language, sexual orientation and gender identity. This includes a mix of faith-based and secular voices. While REC lacks the technical knowledge to form an opinion on various aspects of AM broadcast engineering such as the “ratchet rule”, daytime and nighttime coverage standards and antenna efficiency, we will comment on various issues which are in the realm of citizen’s access to the airwaves and in the interests of listeners to AM broadcast band stations. REC supports a limited offering of translators to certain AM stations REC feels that there is a segment of “stand-alone” AM broadcast owners. These owners normally fall under the category of minority, women or GLBT/T2. These owners are likely to own a single AM station or a small group of AM stations and are most likely to only own stations with inferior nighttime service, such as Class-D stations.

  • 4.3.2 Earthquake
    SECTION 4.3.2: RISK ASSESSMENT – EARTHQUAKE 4.3.2 Earthquake This section provides a profile and vulnerability assessment for the earthquake hazard. According to the Pennsylvania Bureau of Topographic and Geologic Survey, the State is relatively free of earthquake activity compared to other states; however, earthquakes do occur. Pennsylvania has experienced fewer and milder earthquake events than most other eastern states (LVPC, 2006). An earthquake is the sudden movement of the Earth’s surface caused by the release of stress accumulated within or along the edge of the Earth’s tectonic plates, a volcanic eruption, or by a manmade explosion (Federal Emergency Management Agency [FEMA], 2010). Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries where the Earth’s tectonic plates meet (faults); however, less than 10 percent of earthquakes occur within plate interiors. The Lehigh Valley is in an area where plate interior-related earthquakes occur. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earthquake Hazards Program defines an earthquake hazard as anything associated with an earthquake that may affect resident’s normal activities. 4.3.2.1 Location and Extent The location of an earthquake is commonly described by its focal depth and the geographic position of its epicenter. The focal depth of an earthquake is the depth from the Earth’s surface to the region where an earthquake’s energy originates (the focus or hypocenter). The epicenter of an earthquake is the point on the Earth’s surface directly above the hypocenter. Earthquakes usually occur without warning and their effects can impact areas at great distance from the epicenter. According to the Pennsylvania Bureau of Topographic and Geologic Survey, when events occur in Pennsylvania, their impact area is very small (less than 100 kilometers in diameter).
