Tuning Table for PHC
Mike Dolin
that carry PHC. Do you think the net.Shy.People can come up with all
the stations, times and cities faster than we could get the info from
GK or Public Radio?
Come on all you shy people, I know you're out there. Just add your
station to the table and either post it to the net or e-mail to me.
If you post to the net, BTW, the folks who think net.wobegon is too thin
will see just how many of us there really are.
Which stations carry APHC? And how's this for a layout, SP?

Important comments not necessarily having to do with APHC.
1) Why is there no station in Washington, DC that carries AM
Weather? If there is, it's not mentioned in the Washington
Post.
2) The mention of KUSC, Los Angeles, reminded me of the radio play
"Star Wars" staring Luke Skywalker (What's 'is real name?) himself.
I have all the episodes of the 13 part series of Star Wars on
cassette. There was also a radio play of "The Empire Strikes
Back". Does anyone out there have it recorded?

A couple of things:
First, in Madison, Wisconsin, one can hear APHC on Saturdays at 5pm on
WERN 88.9FM. In fact, you can hear it on just about any Wisconsin Public
Radio station in the state at that time. If you miss it on Saturday, you
can hear it on Sunday at 1pm (approx... I'm not positive) on WHA 970AM.
Second, yes, the FCC has reserved all FM frequencies between 88 and 90Mhz for
use by public/community radio stations. It does make it nice when travelling,
since you can find a public (if not NPR) station with relative ease.

The FCC reserves a small band (from 88 to 92MHz, I *think*) for non-commercial
stations. This is not a hard and fast rule: Older stations which were
already operating in this band when the rule was passed (in the late sixties,
I believe) were allowed to continue, and I think that if a commercial station
acquires a non-commercial station, it may continue to use the frequency.
The rule only works one way: non-commercial stations may use any bandwidth
which they are able to obtain. Some of this is explained in Lorenzo Milam's
wonderful, hard-to-find book, "Sex & Broadcasting," about how to organize
and operate a non-commercial radio station, and how to harass your commercial
competitors.
