    Good point.  This guy may have a rough time of it getting hired in
real radio after this since he is an admitted criminal and could jepordize
the license of a legal station with his antics.

87.9 stands out like a sore thumb, it took the FCC 6 weeks to get the 3-5
watts comming out of Pratt Inst. in Brooklyn last year and not to much longer
to get a Sunday night pirate this summer.  And around here they don't move.
That was their greased lightning speed.  

They also got another on 91.9 this summer after less than 2 weeks.  But this
guy sounded like he was comming from the same neighborhood as the field
office.

Not like the old KTAO days, huh, John?   ;-}

I must point out that licensing takes a few years.  Meantime, try
hooking up with the SJ cable company, getting you on their FM and maybe
 on the sound of a "barker" channel.   I too will be glad to help y'all
get filed, if I'm good for anything you need.

Also, if any of the students have an unslakable thirst for being on real
radio, let me recommend:
  KSCU  Santa Clara University, ALWAYS short of help
  KOHL  Ohlone College, Fremont, the school for the pukers of tomorrow
  KKUP  Cupertino   - no introduction necessary!
  and of course, us.  We have openings, and winter qtr starts soon.

I have AutoTalk. Just put it in last week. I also bought Way_to_GO,  Here's
the differences and what I think about them.


Autotalk is a receiver that receives the audio portion vhf, uhf and
some weather stations It then re-modulates them and allows you to tune in
your AM radio ro 530 or 1060 to hear them. It has a small calculator-like keypad
with a 2 foot ribbon cable that connects to the base unit. The base unit has 3
wires +, -, and power antenna, which is actually the master power switch. It
intercepts your car antenna with 2 1 foot stubs. It also has a single
un-documented rca jack which Autotalk (here in santa Clara) tells me is an
audio output.  You can listen to reports on all 6 bay area regions or select just
the ones you are interested in. Before each zone is broadcast a series of audio
tones is broadcast which key open your receiver to "play" that report. There is 
an annoying instructional message before each set of 6 regions. The cycle seems
to repeat every 4 minutes or so. The unit is $129. No bargains to be found. 

The vhf reception is poor in my Honda. The uhf reception is ok, although quite
subject to what sounds like sunspot noise. The weather channels don't really
pick up anything.  Channel 2 does NOT seem to be broadcasting SAP at this time.
Channel 36 is however and reception is acceptable. I have not heard any
advertising yet, except for one AutoTalk ad, but I am told that advertising will
be present some day.

Way To Go is a transistor radio sized receiver that receives trafic data
for 24 different zones in the bay area. The receiver operates on pager
frequencies and must be subscribed to on a monthly basis ($12) The unit is $99 at
Whole Earth. It has a map on the front. You select a zone (fairly small) and
press GO. If there is data for that region, a synthesized voice spouts off half
of the data (approximate location of trouble) from the data received thus far. If
you wish more detailed info, press MORE and exact location is played, and
estimated time of clearing as well. The synthesizer voice is the early raspy
type.  If there is a problem in a zone, an overriding playvback will occur
un-prompted to alert a driver. (This was weird the first time it happened.)

I bought both of these (trial)

AutoTalk wins, then KGO/KCBS (local radio stations) then Way To Go.

On a given moment Autotalk was reporting 3 problems in 3 areas. (1 Cal-Trans
flow reduction, 2 accidents.) Autotalk had all of them. Way to go had the two
accidents about 8 minutes later and had nothing on the Cal-Trans problem at all.

Any Questions?

Don't know for sure, but they ARE moving studios and putting in Stereo Broadcast
Equipment. Perhaps this is maintenance and move time. They told me earlier that
they were scheduled to go on-line from the new studios by Jan 1.

After having exchanged some mail with Steve, I still find this statement
to be truly amazing.  The people who run SJCC decided that they didn't
have enough money to buy a certain resource, and so they instructed their
staff and students to break federal laws.  Should chemical supply
companies in the Valley keep an eye out for chemistry profs and students
who are out stealing much needed lab equipment?  Should IBM, Apple, Sun
and HP watch out for staff who will be raiding warehouses to equip the
school's computer labs?  Are there going to be SJCC staff out on the
streets of SJ, restriping things more to the school's tastes?

Well, I HAVE been involved with broadcasting for over a
quarter-century. I know all about "bureaucracy". There is no excuse for
not licensing a broadcast operation. None. Rich parents have nothing to
do with it (do you really believe the PARENTS paid for KCEA?). The
money came from potential listeners, corporations (such as
Hewlett-Packard), and other organizations. Are COLLEGE students so lame
that they cannot hustle down the same avenues that HIGH SCHOOL students
can? SJCC can equip a radio station facility but cannot afford the
comparatively minimal expense of making it legal? What a crock!

Can't anyone see what is going on here? A thug holds up a 7-11 store
and complains that he is a product of the ghetto and cannot feed
himself any other way. This is supposed to justify his violent
behavior. SJCC students whine that they cannot obey the rules because
of [fill in excuse here], so they put a blatantly illegal bootleg
operation on the air, tromp on the toes of legitimate broadcasters, and
then whine when the inevitable enforcement action takes place. And then
we get the above crap about how "disadvantaged" SJCC students are.

Grow up people. Get a grip on reality. When you leave the SJCC
playground, there is a cold, cruel world waiting for you.
