Best Engineering Practices is Ennes program at 2014 NAB Show By Fred Baumgartner, CPBE, CBNT, Ennes Trustee Exactly 50 years ago to the day of this year’s SBE/Ennes Broadcast Engineering program at NAB, the SBE was being born at a much smaller NAB conference held in Chicago. I do wonder if anyone at that first SBE meeting could have imagined that there would be a few hundred Broadcast Engineers attending a day long program in a very large room with giant TV screens learning about everything from TV drones to IPX. I’d like to think they would be amazed, impressed, and proud of the whirlwind that those first butterfly wing beats set in motion. I’ll be honest, the part of this year’s program I’m maybe most looking forward to is that John Poray is going to forgo his usual greeting and SBE update Las Vegas Convention Center once again will host the annual NAB Show NAB, page 3 SBE announces this year’s Leadership Development Course Planning for the 2014 SBE Leadership Development Engineers are often confronted with to communicate with others who have personalities Course has begun.

4 LEGAL PERSPECTIVE by Chris Imlay, CBT SBE General Counsel [email protected]

TRANSLATION, PLEASE! All anyone wants to talk about these days is the siting limit of an FM translator which is to provide station should have the ability to place a translator AM improvement docket. And with good reason, fill-in service for an AM station. The 60 dBu contour so that its 60 dBu signal is within its 2 mV/m daytime because everyone seems to have a different and of the FM translator’s signal must be contained contour. There are many similar examples. creative idea about how to accomplish the goal of within the lesser of the AM’s daytime 2 mV/m Eliminating the 25-mile limit for FM translator AM improvement. I am no different, and this column contour, or a radius of 25 miles (40.23 km) from the siting for use by AM stations would have little impact reflects my own opinions and not those of the SBE AM station’s transmitter site. My engineer friend is on stations sited in areas of poor conductivity. For Board of Directors on this subject.

It 2 mV/m daytime contour that extends only 13 km from based principally on the use of FM translators. The creates additional inequities in terms of availability its transmitter site, well less than half the distance to use of FM translators is not a solution because it is of FM translators for AM licensees. Principal among a 25-mile (40.23 km) limit. Using the 2 mV/m contour inherently inequitable, and in the best case it is only these is that it places an artificial and arbitrary limit as a lesser limit, the 25-mile limit for a translator’s 60 a partial remedy. FM translators are not available on AM broadcasters’ ability to derive maximum use dBu contour does not come into play. for all AM broadcasters in all markets, and those of the translator. This applies especially to those Limiting translator siting to the lesser of 25 miles who might need such a solution the most are often with AM stations in locations with comparatively from the transmitter site or the 2 mV/m daytime left out in the cold. Nothing that the Commission good ground conductivity. On the other side of contour limit is inherently arbitrary. It fails to take can do can change that. Allowing some AMs to the coin, the limit provides no benefit generally to into account the wide differences in distances have FM translators when others can’t get one broadcasters whose AM stations are sited in areas to the 2 mV/m contour in different parts of the because the cost of acquiring one is too high or of poor ground conductivity because rarely does the United States. It limits the opportunity of many because there is no FM channel to use in a given limit apply to such stations. Prohibiting the 60 dBu AM stations to use translators due to propagation, market makes the “have-nots” even worse off than contour of the translator from extending beyond AM siting issues, and soil conductivity that the they are now, competitively. Furthermore, relying the 2 mV/m daytime contour of the AM being licensee cannot control.
