netmac230.sit.hqx     - archive containing PA2AGA NET/Mac version 2.3.0
                        executable.  This version has lots of bug fixes
                        and enhancements not in earlier versions.

netmac.env.sit.hqx    - archive with some "environment" files, like

Mike Willis decoded it also without problems as I see in another followup

I used ZIP on a NeXT to check it out, and it PKUNZIP'ed (v1.01) on my

Is this that bad?  Do we need a rec.radio.amateur.packet.binaries now?
(And if the resultant zip file hadn't been "corrupted", would the comment
have still been made?  I generally retry the decoding from the original

are much larger, more humungous postings in some other newsgroups...)

I disagree. It was aimed at a particular target audience, and it was
aimed to get the widest distribution. The majority of the news reading
public do not have direct access to FTP. Albeit they have it thru the
remote mail servers, but mail costs excessive amounts of money in this
country, so I for one, am jolly glad that he posted it to the newsgroup
or I would never have seen it.

IMHO of course.

     I've just heard some of the basics about packet radio, and I have some
questions.  If there is a FAQ that answers these questions, then just ignore
this post and I'll get the FAQ when it comes along.

1 - How much does it cost to get a basic transciever that will connect to my
    computer?

2 - Can I get a tranceiver that will pretend that it's a telephone so that I
    can use my current modem?

3 - Once I have the equipment, how do I go about "getting connected?"  Do  I
    have to register in my area or just go online?  (Admittedly not very
    likely.)

4 - What types of communications protocols are used?  What is KA9Q, and is
    it THE protocol?

I also have one, difficult to find at a reasonable price in the UK
current dealers are after 279 pounds $530!!!! but luckily mail order exists 
to the states.

I have had it for two years now and it works well. I could do with the new
firmware and bette rPC software (also not easily available here unless you
pay through the nose). Therefore I would be interested in PD software. I hear
MFJs offering does things to the hard disk, if this is so I would not touch 
it.

CW is not good, but I have never come across any good CW modem.

The station I work at has neglected their jazz servicing over the past
couple of years, with the result that we receive virtually *no* new jazz
releases.  I'm just starting out in trying to turn this around by contacting
all the labels from which we've received things in the past.  Looking through
our vinyl, I see that someone must have done a helluva job 5-10 years ago.
We've got LOTS of Black Saint/Soul Note, Enja, and other smaller European
releases.

Does anybody have any experience with approaching foreign labels for 
servicing?  I'd be happy to get any tips at all.

Originator: wdp@gagme

Date: Thu, 23 Jul 1992 08:00:30 GMT



This is my initial attempt to investigate my latest concept, so I'm looking 
for book references, thoughts, and info.

Situation thus: The student government at Acadia University, Nova Scotia, 
Canada, did an A-one job of destroying the campus radio station here.  It 
was a shame.  The station was operating on an awful carrier current system 
that wasn't reaching students and was basically stupid.  So they said we'd 
have to go FM or bust.  The costs were high for a small school and support 
was low due to the carrier system's low quality.  The station died.

Well I read a bit in a Whole Earth Cat (Signal) about books about low 
wattage transmission that has a small broadcast radius and so is cheap, 
unregulated, and useful for non-commercial situations.  I thought that'd be 
perfect for our small town/campus environment and probably a lot cheaper 
than the hundreds of thous req'd to go FM.

My question is, can this be done in Canada?  
Is there a transmission wattage below which CRTC does not require expensive 
studies, logging equipment, licenses etc.?
Would I be talking AM or FM?

Any info would be appreciated - Canadian specific or not.  I know 
essentially nothing about radio.
Thanks for any responses.  They killed our radio.  Help it be born again.

I have a friend whose school just recieved a construction permit

do not have any equipment and they have enough money to buy
all new equipment. 

I am wondering if anyone out there knows where one can find used
radio broadcasting equipment. What to radio stations do with their
old equipment when they upgrade? Are there equipment brokers?

Also, I have no idea what is a good price for a 100 watt FM transmitter
with exciter. Likewise for an omnidirectional antenna that can handle
100 watts. 

They allready have the audio stuff including the stereo generator; all
they need are the transmitter and the antenna. 

If anyone has any suggestion, please post here or email to
allyn@netcom.com.

R&R has always been expensive.  So is Billboard, The Gavin Report,
and various others you'll find.  Very few of the b'cast publications
are worth what they charge, and the only freebie I've seen is Radio
World (discussed here at some length a week or so ago).

All the other trades I've seen go for $200+ annually.  Go figger...

1. Get ahold of a survey telling what the market is looking for in
   radio styles.

2. If there is an obvious hole, fill it with your station (change
   formats if necessary)

3. If there are no holes, decide if you want to compete head-to-head
   with existing stations for the market you want to pursue (picking
   probably the top one or two styles), or to go with a lesser one.

[WKQX playlist deleted]

Here's a thought ...
In Vancouver, BC, Canada, the 2nd and 3rd highest rated stations
are 99.3 CFOX (The Fox) and 101 CFMI, respectively.
(News/talk/music CKNW 980-AM is and has been 1st here for as
long as I've cared to remember.)

While CFOX plays AOR with more "edge" to the feel with respect 
to their playlist, CFMI plays, as someone had described the new WKQX 
(and I paraphrase), "blending a mix of rock-oriented AC with AOR." 
The  [WKQX-Chicago playlist] seems to bear this out, quite similar
to CFMI's style.

The periodic (quarterly) "books" (BBMs) do the usual breakdown 
by listener age and gender.  But, the funny thing is what the BBMs reveal : 
CFOX has got the largest share of males 18-34 group,
while CFMI is getting the majority of women 18-34, when compared
to all other stations in Vancouver.

On a personal note, I've done my own "format change" with a
"cold turkey switch" from CHR/dance radio to rock/AOR radio.
Fresh, "clean" (less cluttered, IMHO) music to work by.      :-)

Y'know - some of the Canadian readers, say, including myself
could have a field day "bitching" or "praising" with the CanCon 
(Canadian Content) regulations that all radio stations must abide by here.
But then again, that's yet another can of worms. 

On a final note, I understand that Tom Cochrane's finally getting
some big dues Stateside - about time, IMHO.  The album "Mad Mad World" is 
now 4 singles deep on Canadian radio; hoping for similar success in the US.
I mean, someone's gotta play something else than Red Rider's "Lunatic Fringe,"
now, eh?    :-)
