We are the independent media supported and funded by the people * Yesterday I listened to a 2016 interview with Oliver Stone by Harry Kreisler at the University of California . In it, Stone describes how he is essentially "banned" from NPR because of a confrontation he said he had with an NPR producer a few years ago about Hugo Chavez. Stone obviously appreciated the work of the incomparable Chavez which was seemingly not shared by the NPR producer. *NPR has become politicized he said.* Stone might not have known about, or didn't refer to the fact, that during the Reagan administration, threats by Reagan's State Department's "Office of Public Diplomacy" administrator Otto Reich to NPR, and other independent minded reporters, was significant. I personally refer to Otto Reich as Reagan's propaganda minister. Reich at one point threatened NPR with loss of its government money from CPB - the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. This threat worked. *But, Stone said, he is consistently on KPFA-FM - the Pacifica "founding community radio station" in Berkeley. This to me was one of the important testimonies of community radio. We at WRFG receive no CPB funding. We are here for the people, a voice of the people and funded by the people!* Below is a 2001 article from FAIR about Otto Reich when he was about to be appointed by Bush, Jr. Writer Jeff Cohen refers to Reich's threats to independent media and overall media manipulation during the Reagan administration. *The Return of Otto Reich* *Will Government Propagandist Join Bush Administration?* By Jeff Cohen FAIR In totalitarian countries, government propaganda officers wield great power. They're authorized to use the media to stir up state-sanctioned passions and fears through the selective dissemination of information - sometimes factual, sometimes phony. If you think the United States has never employed propaganda officers, meet Otto Reich. He may soon be our country's chief diplomat in Latin America if the Bush administration has its way. In March, Bush announced his intention to nominate Reich as assistant secretary of state for the Western Hemisphere. If he's officially nominated, it will be interesting to see how journalists handle Reich - because from 1983 through 1986, it was Reich's job to handle journalists. That's when he commanded the State Department's Office of Public Diplomacy, whose main mission was to inflame fears about Nicaragua and its left-wing Sandinista government that had come to power by overthrowing a corrupt, U.S.-supported dictator. By covertly disseminating intelligence leaks to journalists, Reich and the OPD sought to trump up a Nicaraguan "threat," and to sanctify the U.S.-backed Contra guerrillas fighting Nicaragua's government as "freedom fighters." The propaganda was aimed at influencing Congress to continue to fund the Contras. Take the scary news that Soviet MiG fighter jets were arriving in Nicaragua. With journalists citing unnamed "intelligence sources," the well-timed story surged through U.S. media on the night of Ronald Reagan's reelection. At NBC, Andrea Mitchell broke into election coverage with the story. The furor spurred a Democratic senator to discuss a possible airstrike against Nicaragua. But the story turned out to be a hoax. Several journalists later acknowledged they'd been handed the story by Reich's office. It isn't the only erroneous story journalists link to the OPD. According to the Miami Herald, for example, Reich's office promoted the fable that Nicaragua had acquired chemical weapons from the Soviets. According to Newsweek, the OPD told reporters that high-level Sandinistas were involved in drug trafficking, but U.S. drug officials said there was no evidence for such a charge. Reich's office worked alongside the White House National Security Council, collaborating with CIA propaganda experts, Army psychological warfare specialists and a then-obscure Marine lieutenant colonel named Oliver North. Declassified documents detailing OPD activities are on file and online at the National Security Archive, a D.C.-based nonprofit ( http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB40/ ). In a March 13, 1985 "Eyes Only" memo to Pat Buchanan, then-White House Communications Director, the OPD bragged about the recent results of its "White Propaganda" operation in support of the Contras. The OPD said it helped write an anti-Sandinista column for the Wall Street Journal that ran two days earlier; assisted in a "positive piece" on the Contras by Fred Francis that aired the night before on NBC; wrote op-eds for the Washington Post and New York Times that would run with the bylines of Contra leaders; arranged an extensive media tour for a Contra leader "through a cut-out" (to hide the OPD's role); and prepared to leak a State Department cable that would embarrass the Sandinistas: "Do not be surprised if this cable somehow hits the evening news." The memo said that the Wall Street Journal column, "Nicaragua Is Armed for Trouble," was written by an OPD "consultant," but cautioned that "officially, this office had no role in its preparation." Weeks later, after the Journal published a news report on Nicaragua that Reich disliked, the OPD chief wrote an angry letter-to-the editor touting the "Armed for Trouble" column and complaining that the news report was "an echo of Sandinista propaganda." It was an audacious charge since Reich himself was "echoing" propaganda his office had covertly boasted to have assisted in. Besides media manipulation through planted stories and leaks, there was also cajoling and bullying of journalists. Reich visited CBS in April 1984 to complain at length about its Central America coverage. In a memo to President Reagan, Secretary of State George Shultz described the meeting as an example of "what the Office of Public Diplomacy has been doing to help improve the quality of information the American people are receiving. It has been repeated dozens of times over the past few months." Six months later, Reich met with a dozen National Public Radio reporters and editors about their allegedly biased Nicaragua coverage. According to NPR foreign affairs correspondent Bill Buzenberg: "Reich bragged that he had made similar visits to other unnamed newspapers and major television networks.... Reich said he had gotten others to change some of their reporters in the field." Buzenberg told me in a 1987 interview that he viewed the OPD chief's comments as a "calculated attempt to intimidate." Reich had little tolerance for independent-minded reporters. In the summer of 1985, his office helped circulate a specious story suggesting that U.S. reporters received sexual favors from Sandinista-provided prostitutes in return for favorable coverage. "It isn't only women," Reich told New York magazine; for gay journalists, they'd procure men. The OPD viewed many in the media as allies to be rewarded, particularly on the weekend pundit shows. According to a Feb. 1985 OPD memo, certain correspondents on the McLaughlin, Brinkley and Agronsky programs had "open invitations for personal briefings." After Reich had left to become ambassador to Venezuela, the OPD was shut down in 1987, in the wake of a U.S. comptroller general's report which concluded that Reich's office had "engaged in prohibited, covert propaganda activities." According to the Miami Herald, a "senior U.S. official" described the OPD as "a vast psychological warfare operation of the kind the military conducts to influence a population in enemy territory." But the population targeted was not an enemy - it was the U.S. public. A confrontation is brewing on Capitol Hill over Otto Reich. He is supported by the Cuban-American lobby, which is so powerful with the Bush White House that Reich reportedly got the nod for the assistant secretary state job over a career foreign service officer favored by Secretary of State Colin Powell. The Cuban-born Reich, now a corporate lobbyist, helped draft the Helms-Burton Act tightening the embargo of Cuba. Reich is opposed by Democratic senators who remember his exploits at the OPD. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass) commented in March that Reich's "office may have been the genesis of acts of propaganda not just prohibited in this country, but which reflect a kind of carelessness about the truth." A key player to watch in any confirmation battle will be the press corps itself. What will be the reaction of journalists who were manipulated by leaks from his office? Or of the newspapers that may have run op-ed columns unaware that his office was behind them? If senators don't adequately raise questions about Otto Reich's history as a media manipulator, one would hope that journalists will. *Heather Gray* *ProducerJust Peace **- WRFG-Atlanta 89.3FM* *404 523 34**71* heather at wrfg.org *General Programming Policy in WRFG's by-laws*: *WRFG is a community-oriented, educational, alternative medium and our programming must reflect this.

I would put a DL on the output, and audio in the input, and turn it on. Start with minumum power, check the status, reflected power, temperature. Then I would go to full power, again checking status. Then I'd let it run for a day, keeping an eye on temperature, etc. You can listen to it on a receiver, check its audio processor settings, check the remote control, maybe set up some alarms, and see if you actually get an alarm. Check the log files if it?s set up for them, you may find out what it was doing last time the transmitter was on. If log files aren?t enable, enable them, so you can see if it?s getting hot. AFAIK it doesn?t display temperature on the remote control interface, but does log it. A concert producer probably doesn?t necessarily have any experience with transmitters, but if he wants to check it out, there?s probably no harm in that. I take care of one of these for another station, it?s proven to be reliable, only once it locked up and to be power cycled, that was after some power glitch.

Unfortunately BW refuses to release the service manuals for their transmitters. As far as I know, most other transmitter manufacturers provide complete maintenance manuals, including schematic diagrams and service and adjustment procedures. BW says that all of this information is proprietary. Since SCMS is the only authorized service provider in the USA, they and the factory in the UK are the ONLY places that have knowledge of the transmitter's internal operation. You will find other people who can check the transmitter output, but not much more. There are probably amateur radio operators who have VHF instruments that can make those kinds of measurements. I hope I never have to invest in a major piece of equipment that can only be serviced by a single provider. I would NEVER buy a new BW transmitter. There are many scenarios that could result in equipment that is impossible to repair or service. BW and/or SCMS could go out of business or get purchased by another company that refuses to provide any support for "discontinued" products. When there is a single service provider with no competition, there is no limit to the prices they can charge, or they can claim the the equipment is not worth repairing so you are forced to buy a new transmitter. Talking to salesmen for these companies gives me absolutely no confidence in their integrity. These are my concerns, and I wonder if they are important to other LPFM operators. A few thousand dollars may not be that much, and it is not our own personal money. We would expect that a new piece of equipment will not require any service or repairs for at least five or ten years, and after that the transmitter is old enough so people may not mind buying a new one and dumping the old one to recycle the metal.

Reach out to Maddy Mixter, Maddy at BrownPaperTickets.com Or, Sabrina Roach, Sabrina at BrownPaperTickets.com Here are 5 fun and easy event ideas for your station: 1. Have an open house and give a tour to your listeners. 2. Invite community members to a volunteer orientation so that they can get involved. 3. Have a favorite concert venue? If they already have a show going on that night, ask if you can partner up to make it a National Radio Day event - they add it to their promotion material and you give away tickets on air. 4. It will likely be a beautiful Saturday. Find a place with a lot of foot traffic that you can table at - you can talk with local businesses like an independent record store about setting up outside their space or a table at a farmer?s market. 5. Have your DJs do a meet and greet with listeners! You can partner with a coffee shop or bar - you publicize on air the time and place and the venue can play the station over their sound system (and maybe even donate some of that night?s revenue). And these are just a few ideas! If you have any questions, want assistance with creating Sonic IDs, or want to get more involved, please feel free to send us an email at hello at nationalradioday.com.

Fortunately, just today we've found a retired broadcast engineer from one of the major local commercial radio stations that's also active in ham radio to test it for us. He says he'll be using his "little" 1,000 watt dummy load on it and plans to check it out thoroughly. We don't expect problems, but it's better to play it safe.

Between the two frequencies, we should be able to cover about 75% of the 467,026 people in our county that has no community stations at all right now. We got 2 unsolicited offers of $100,000 for the frequency we'll use in the middle of the City of Syracuse that he fought most hard for and we'll "feed" it from our suburban LPFM on another frequency one of these guys also wanted. We paid Mike quite a bit of money for his services, but it was an extremely good investment.

Several times a year we do remote broadcasts, and these generally include music as well as interviews. When we do remote broadcasts we set up an antenna on-site, which we point towards our station to send the signal. However it is not always possible to set up an antenna to do a remote broadcast (no room for the antenna at the site, etc.). We are looking for suggestions on a reliable remote broadcast method that does not use an antenna set up, and offers decent audio quality ... and does not cost an arm and a leg. :) Anyone have ideas or experience to share in this area?

We also have a small mixing board which will handle a mix from the venue main sound board if there is one, a room mic, or mic for dj. This will also interface with a dj mixing unit if needed, also mixlr will import digital playlists as well. Hope that helps.

KPFT and its folks have been to GRCs over time and I'm honored to have had been in touch with so many of you during my 11 years at the little station in Houston. I wanted to drop a quick line with news. I'm departing KPFT and am headed to the National Federation of Community Broadcasters, starting Aug. 15. Sally Kane, our fantastic board and squad of go-getters will be looking to build new efforts to support community radio's diverse needs and infrastructure. Starting then, you can reach me at membership at nfcb.org and ernestomedia at gmail.com before then. As Membership Program Director, I want to hear what you need and how we can get your station or producers involved, if they're not already members. Jot some thoughts and toss me a line, or let's arrange a call. I want to win you over to join NFCB, and am eager to learn how to do it. Thank you for all you do. It takes commitment and courage, which community radio absolutely has in abundance.
