As several posters have asked about this, here's some info about stations 
that carry Pacifica Radio programming.  (This is taken from a Pacifica
brochure which is about a year old.)

P = Pacifica (O&O) Station.
A = Affiliate stations carry the news and all other Pacifica programming.
S = Subscriber stations carry Pacifica News and some other Pacifica
programming.

Most of the above stations receive Pacifica programming via satellite:
Galaxy VI, analog SCPC.  This is the same satellite that carries most
of the NPR programming.

In addition, KZSC 88.1, Santa Cruz, CA carries the KPFA news and some other
programming, via off-the-air pickup.

Also, past Pacifica programs are available from the Pacifica Radio Archive.
A free catalog is available.

KPFA has just started a satellite uplink of its programs on Ku band on
GE Americom K1 TR7 (H) 11887.900 MHz using Musicam compressed digital
stereo (128 KBPS, QPSK).  This service initially is to feed KFCF in Fresno
with an improved signal. (Approx 90% of KFCF programming is a relay of KPFA.)

These satellite signals can be heard by anyone in the continental US with the
proper equipment.  Any stations that wish to carry Pacifica programming, please
contact Pacifica Foundation, 1929 Martin Luther King Jr Way, Berkeley, CA 
94704, 1-510-848-6767.  (This is also the number and address for KPFA.)

Subject: Philadelphia/NJ Request FAX numbers?

I'm trying to find the FAX request numbers for a few stations I enjoy
listening to... I recently figured out how to use my FaxModem (they're only
slightly more challenging than programming VCR's ;) and have discovered
that FAX request lines are (not surprisingly) not "busy" as much as voice
request lines.

Thus far, I've only managed to get the number for WMMR, 93.3 FM in Philly.
	They said it on the air, surprisingly. (215-932-WMMR)

I'd also like to get a FAX request number for WPST, 97.5 FM Philly/Trenton
NJ.
	They say their 1-800 _voice_ number, but don't mention FAX.

Finally, I'd like to get a FAX number for WDRE, which just started a station
in Philadelphia (they have one in Garden City NY, right by Long Island, too.)
	I think they have a FAX number, _maybe_ even a 1-800 FAX.

If anyone knows the request FAX numbers for WPST or WDRE, please drop me some
mail (I don't read this group very often at all, sorry)... FAX numbers for
station's business offices aren't what I need though, please don't send
those.

Thanks much,

	-Shag (I love my FaxModem)

What? Have you not heard of ASCAP and BMI? These organizations
certainly do extract a pound of flesh from each and every US
commercial broadcaster. And the fees are based on GROSS revenue, not
net. In other words, these folks get their full measure even if the
station is going right down the financial toilet.

Just ask KEEN.

I have sucessfully prepared applications that have resulted
in grants for FM non-coms and translators;

$5000 will let you stick your foot in the door...
Plan on 10,000 + just to get a license.

Therefore, you must be pretty serious to go for it.

This isn't correct.  Actually it is 1 VOLT/meter field strength, which
is a lot of signal.  Being within a few blocks of a 50 kw AM radio
station would produce this.  This is called 'blanketing' interference.

The direct, immediate concern is the wavelength, which is inversely
proportional to frequency.  In order for the EMF to cause cell/DNA 
damage, the wavelength needs to be comparable to biological 
intracellular distances. The wavelength at 60 hz is many miles, and it
would be impossible for individual cells to absorb and be changed by
such energy.  At celfone and microwave frequencies, you're still into
centimeters generally.  However, at the tiny angstrom unit wavelengths
of UV light, X-rays, gamma rays, direct biological cell damage will
occur.

So, the only time I worry about EMF is when I go out in the noonday
sun.

Date: Fri, 8 Jan 1993 06:38:32 GMT

Hi everyone,

I'm the Freeform Producer at WNUR-FM and I'm looking for ideas, and demo
tapes for possible airing on the Freeform show.

	Let me first give you some background info.  WNUR is a 7.something
kilo-watt college radio station serving the Evanston-Chicago area.  The
Freeform show is a place where Deejays can experiment all kinds of different
radio formats that you would never hear anywhere else.  We do stuff ranging
from experimental comedy to poetry/gospel.  The Freeform represents the
ultimate in creative broadcasting.

	The Freeform Show schedule is as follows:

		monday mornings from 2-5am
		tuesday thru friday mornings from 3-5am
		saturday morning from 3-7am
		sunday morning from 1am-7am.

If you have some creative ideas for a show, or have made a creative demo tape,
I'd love to hear them.  Please write to the following address:

		Freeform Show
		WNUR-FM
		Evanston, IL  60208-2260

If you send demos, I give no garantees that they will be played, I but
would definitely e-mail you an evaluation.

Kelly
Freeform Producer for WNUR-FM

[Moderator's Note: Yes it is true that WNUR is 7 kw, but their antenna is
less than 100 feet above ground (i think it is about 70').  They co-exist
on the same frequency with WKKC-FM from Kennedy-King College on Chicago's
south side. Many years back WNUR was given a choice to either boost power
from 1 kw to  7 kw -OR- keep their 1kw power and increase height to some 300
feet.  IMHO they took the wrong option since their signal is no better than
WLUW from Loyola which runs 100 watts from about 500'.  Shame really. because
WNUR is a fine station. Bill]

I don't know where your QTH is, but there is a station here in
Cal. which broadcasts bible stuff (he must have a CD-ROM full of it)
on 7100 khz almost continuously.  He varies the speed from 5 to well
over 20 wpm.

The ARRL broadcasts code practice and bulletins from W1AW daily.  See
about any issue of QST for the schedule.

Of course, you could just tune around the bands.  The 40 meter novice
band is a good place to start (7100-7150 khz.)  Also 80 meters (3675 to
3725 khz), 15 meters (21100 to 21200) and 10 meters (28.1 to 28.3 mhz).
Lots of CW around 40 khz up from the bottom of each band.  E.g., 7040,
14040, etc.  The DXers usually hang out at the bottom of the bands.

73,

Walt

If you want to cover everything within 100 miles you would be better off
with a AM (Meduim Wave) broadcast station.  However you would probably
have to run 50,000 watts to cover a 100 mile radius in the daytime.  I'm
a little over a 100 miles from Dallas and can receive WBAP and the other
50,000 watt stations day or night, of course at night 50,000 watts can
be heard across the contry.

Yes, you use your AM radio dial to tune the SW band you selected.
You have to do some mental calculations to figure out where you are
listening.  If you pick the converting osc frequency crystal to
be something like 9.000MHz, that calculating is easy.  And use
a second xtal at 8.995MHz to get around the "My radio won't tune
5KHz" problem.  Tuning 690KHz on the radio means you will hear
a station at 9690KHz.  And also anything at 8.310MHz.  Because
9690-9000=690 =9000-8310  You may need to build a bandpass filter
for 9690, or a trap for 8310.  
Above numbers are examples for discussion purposes only, you will
need to select actual xtal freqs to make the bands of interest
come out between 540 to 1600KHz.  If you wanted to hear the
5800 to 6200KHz SW band, pick 5.00MHz xtal and you'll hear
those stations on 800 to 1200KHz on the AM radio.  And you
need to trap out 3800 to 4200KHz to avoid hearing that at the
same time.

        I got the same message about the IRC's.  Since the message came with
the latest schedule, which in turn arrived a month after I had received the
same schedule on this list, their letter went in the same garbage can that
I had tossed the latest edition of BBC Worldwide.  The comparison between these

Can one hook up a fax machine to a scanner to intercept group 3 fax messages
sent over mobile phone networks?

As I understand it the two faxes talk to each other at the start of a fax to
determine what speeds etc that they both understand.
Would this upset a 3rd fax 'listening in' on a scanner?
Or would this extra stuff be ignored?

I await replies with interest.

Hi

I have been talking to someone about the possibility of accessing the 
internet via shortwave/packet radio (I am not sure of the correct phrase 
here). 
	Is this possible and if so what sort of equipment is needed to do so 
in England? 
	Is there a FAQ posting on this anywhere that I could obtain to 
prevent me asking silly questions?

	Thanks in advance

	Al Cargill

The only problem with some digital radios is that they tune in 10KHz
steps, while you often fins SW stations are at 5KHz intervals. It's no
big problem, just use two crystals in the converter - one 5KHz away from
the other, and switch from one to the other to cover the entire range of
frequencies you're interested in.
