I don't know what happened to my text.  Here's my question.

Someone suggested that we barcode our record library to allow inventorying.
We haven't tried it yet.  If anyone has tried it, we would be interested to
hear some pros and cons.

Summary: Trying to find info on radio station budgeting
Keywords: radio, budgets

I have read in some places that a college radio station should have a minimum
budget of $30-40,000.  Is this a realistic estimate?  We operate with a
fraction of that amount.  It certainly seems as if we need more money, but is
it realistic -- what have been your experiences with budgeting?

WRBC is funded through the student government, so asking for more money
requires all the evidence we can get.  If your budget is larger, please reply,
if it's smaller, I want to hear from you, too.

Thanks,

Chuck

The addresses are for the publisher. The price of the book in Canada
is Cdn$19.95. I don't know the US price. Odd that bookstores 
haven't heard of the publisher. Black Rose also publishes Noam 
Chomsky. 

If all else fails, email AMARC at amarcho@web.apc.org and they can 
mail you a copy for US$18.00.

If, for some reason, you cannot get the FAQ, e-mail me and I will 
send it to you.

BTW: To the person who started this, I tried to e-mail you and I'm not sure

   Wireless cable is not new.  HBO first set up a wireless cable system
in Northern California sometime in the late 70's.  The theory is that 
with wireless cable, cable can be brought to people living in more remote
areas, trailer parks, apartments, etc, without the cost of hard-wiring
the entire area.  Various other companies have set up similar systems.
   Note that these systems are not thief-proof however and the 
signal can be picked up with a coffee can and a "black box"
   As far as investment in the product goes, I would get in touch with the
people at HBO of Northern California and talk to them about their setup.

We don't. =)

Seriously, though, we tend to get regular PSAs from all sorts of sources,
and our promo director (an unpaid but sometimes-contested position) makes
carts of those (yes, we still use carts--very low budget). As for promos
and IDs, we use live IDs all the time (nobody wants to take the time to
tape them), and promos are used by the people who record them. In my
experience, the promos they've done have been pretty low quality so I just
do my own on my show and count on my friends to promote my show live on
their shows.

ON THE TOPIC OF MUSIC LIBRARY ORGANIZATION =====
(to save another reply)

Our library is catalogued by artist/group name for the most part, but we
used to catalog on a decimal basis (numbers in order of receipt at the
library). For the most part our music library (about 3-5 thousand pop/rock
records/tapes/CDs) is listed in a card catalog with real paper 3x5 cards.
I've suggested computerizing it for about four years now, but nobody's
wanted to take the challenge, and nobody's wanted me to either.

I am interested in building telephone bridges for party lines.
This would be a device that allows multiple callers to call in
and be "bridged" together so as to be able to all talk together
at the same time.  Ideally, the system would have several numbers
with any number of lines able to be dynamically allocated to
a given party line number.  For example, 5 people might call in
on line 1 (and be talking together), 7 people might be talking on
line 2, etc..  At another time 50 people might be on line 1 with
the teleconferencing system dynamically allocating the lines to each
number as needed.  What I am looking for is ANY INFORMATION
WHATSOEVER: chips that might be used, schematics, textbooks, vendors,
whatever.  These systems are also called Group Bridging Service (GBS)
systems and if purchased comercially they are expensive.

Thank You Very Much,

Hi,

I have been getting a spill about some "great new investment" opportunity
about wirless cable tv.  It sounds alot like "interactive television" which
I have studied in more detail and forsee many technical and logistical 
problems with it that the "engineers" of the investment package seem to
skip over quickly (IMHO).

Anyway, this wireless cable tv makes makes sense technically on first glance,
but being skeptical :-), I wanted to seek input from the net group too.

Any info would be appreciated!  

Thanks in advance!

Mark

About Budgeting:

Hello -- A question:  How is the management of your *college* radio 
station structured?

WRPI is the radio station at Rensselaer and we are actually an organization
in the student union.  This means that we do have the same structure as
many other kinds of clubs, such as the Chess Club and the Chinese Students
Association.  This is to say that we elect all members of our management
structure.  Our management structure is comprised of a president, station
manager, program director, chief engineer, public relations director, 
business manager, and member at large.

How do other stations do it?  We are looking for advice on the best management
of a radio station (commercial or otherwise).

Yes, WBRS-FM at Brandeis University in Waltham MA has a regular series 
called the Joint.  Every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday night (all
year long), bands come into the station lobby and have 2 hours to play
whatever they want.  It's all digitally recorded (bands have released
CDs of their Joint appearances), it's celebrated its tenth anniversary
recently, and over 900 bands have had a chance to perform!  The 
performances are free and open to the public as well as being
broadcast.

WBRS also presents live mumusic Friday  afternoons on "The Coffeehouse,"
w whose performers tend to be more along the folk or classical lines.
There's free food and coffee for the Coffeehouse audience, and again
all programming is digitally recorded and archived.

[Moderator's Note:  WCBR fm 92.7 in NW suburban Chicago does extensive work
with local bands, including on-ain interview/performances.  In addition,
WLUP-AM also has a semi-regular schedule of 'unplugged' sessions with local
AND national acts.  Nice feature. ]

   In Spain, although the U.S. Armed Forces are being withdrawn from the
joint bases, AFRTS is still aired, transmitted now from Italy and relayed
to Spain. There are two such stations. Radio Torrejon (101.3FM) serving 
Madrid and Radio Zaragoza (89.7FM) serving the Zaragoza area. Both stations
are the only staions broadcasting in English. They do give news from America,
but the defect I find of Armed Forces Radio is their constant public spots
which after a while can become quite annoying. In the future, I don't know if
these stations will still be active when the total withdrawl of the American
Forces in Europe becomes a reality.

I checked with a friend of mine who is involved in making writable CD-like
surfaces for computer disk drives.  These are made in much the same way as
audio CD's.  In his investigations, he has learned the following about audio
CD's:  Without the ink and packaging, a CD costs roughly $0.15 ea to produce.
 
Add legend ink (and subsequent yield loss) and the price goes to about $0.80.

The cost alone is compelling.  Factor in lower shipping costs, better audio
and precision cueing, and the situation looks even better.

My experience with AFRS was limited to the Far
Eastern Network, and further limited to Manila
and Okinawa.  I can understand Manila using a 
"W" call sign, since the Phillipines were then a
US territory, but the station on Okinawa, a 
possession of Japan, also used "W" callsigns.
How did it go with the AFRS in countries, like
Spain, which our forces did not conquer, but which
were hosts to our european forces?

Were all AFRS (or AFRTS) stations prefixed with W or K or A

Come to think of it, I believe that both stations that rebroadcast the
WBUR signal are Cape Cod (ergo MA) stations (Harwich and Sandwich).

James, in response to your question >did I do the right thing<...
Hell , yes! I've spend almost eighteen years as a broadcaster, most of
that hosting morning shows. If anyone had ever put me through what
you describe, I would have told them exactly where to get off, and
walked. As a matter of fact, I've done so a few times. never hurt my
career . Sounds like these people don't have a clue in the world what
they want.
