In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: *Austin Airwaves is reliably informed that Lorenzo W. Milam, author of **/Sex and Broadcasting, A Handbook on Starting a Radio Station for the Community/ (1975 Mho & Mho Works) recently suffered a stroke. Milam, a long time resident of Mexico, now 'in his mid-80' remains conversant and seemingly in good spirits in a recent phone call. Milam, and others including Jeremy Lansman, were responsible for licensing and establishing many of the first generation of CR stations, including KTAO, KRAB, KDHX, KBOO, and others. Milam's irreverent book is widely considered something of a 'bible' of community radio, although Milam always expressed disdain for any reverence directed towards him. * *David Armstrong, in /A Trumpet to Arms: Alternative Media in America/, said "Milam...became a veritable Johnny Appleseed of community radio."* *In 1974, Milam and Lansman filed the so-called/'Petition Against God'/ with the FCC asking for a freeze on new licenses for educational TV and radio channels, and an investigation into religious broadcasters. Although the agency did not consider the petition (on First Amendment grounds), the FCC received over a million letters, about 3,000 per day for many months, protesting the petition, the largest number of letters the FCC has ever received on any issue.

Aaaand the hurricanes are getting stronger! So I'm interested in hearing stories of antenna mounting and tower/mast/pole failures and how close can I push the envelope without ripping it. Currently I have a 38' wooden utility pole with a Radio Shack extendible pole like typical for TV and FM consumer Yagi antennas - which i topped with a Comet 5/8 whip antenna. I am pretty sure that a two Bay circularly polarized probably won't work on that but I'd be interested if anybody has tried that! So I've seen several examples now of Rohn towers with more than one segment above its highest attachment point and with no guy cabling. I've seen that height vary from 3 to 5 segments (10' each) above their last attachment point. I was hoping I could attach my Rohn Tower to the existing wouldn't utility pole as its highest attachment point. So in y'alls experience, how many 10ft segments of Rohn 25 can I go above the highest attachment point as a bracket attached to something else like a building for far I would have to have guy cabling? Have you ever seen anyone attach a pair of circularly polarized phased together to a 1" inch extendable Pole? Thanks for helping me think through cheap ways to get more height!

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: I'm building a Rivendell box and it's a server that our chief volunteer thought would be robust and keep going. So it has no Mobo sound card and we'd need 2 for Rivendell anyway. So what's y'all's experience WITH PCI-E sound cards for Rivendell? Does it have to be better than a 5.1 channel in your experience? If so, what cards gave the best dynamic range and surge resistance and impedance mismatch tolerance and good drivers support in Linux especially Debian ? Thanks!

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <13c4551e-c671-8144-cda7-7c8dee419575@wdrt.org> I've had really good success with both the Digigram VX222e (at $600, on the expensive side), and the ESI Juli@ cards. Unfortunately, the Juli@ seems to be no longer available. The ESI Maya44 looks similar, but without balanced inputs and outputs. Otherwise, Rivendell will work with any ALSA audio device, including the smattering of USB devices available. Then there are the Audio Science cards ... Hope this helps! ? ~David Klann On 09/15/2017 08:59 PM, Max via grc wrote: > I'm building a Rivendell box and it's a server that our chief volunteer > thought would be robust and keep going.

We have 4 sections of Rohn 25 tower where only the bottom section is secured (to a 1-storey concrete block building and a base concrete pad). The highest section is the shorter Rohn "Top Section" that tapers to a canonical point with a short sleeve pipe in the middle. Then we added a skinny aluminum pole that extends above the top section by 15 add'l feet. So, the total height is about 50'. We only use this tower for a lightweight yagi antenna for receiving FM. The center of mass of the yagi is pretty much at the vertical mounting pole attachment (as is, I expect, your Comet whip antenna's center of mass). I would not try mounting a one-bay transmit antenna (typically, 15-25 lb) on our tower because of the weight, and because the center of mass would be one or two feet out horizontally, thus exerting a torque moment on the tower. To maintain the yagi we've climbed the tower several times with our feet at the bottom of the 4th section. We've experienced some slight jiggling of the tower, so to be on the safe side we recently added a 15 ft. strut to brace the third tower section to the building. I could get you a photo if desired.

Aaaand the hurricanes are getting stronger! So I'm interested in hearing stories of antenna mounting and tower/mast/pole failures and how close can I push the envelope without ripping it. Currently I have a 38' wooden utility pole with a Radio Shack extendible pole like typical for TV and FM consumer Yagi antennas - which i topped with a Comet 5/8 whip antenna. I am pretty sure that a two Bay circularly polarized probably won't work on that but I'd be interested if anybody has tried that! So I've seen several examples now of Rohn towers with more than one segment above its highest attachment point and with no guy cabling. I've seen that height vary from 3 to 5 segments (10' each) above their last attachment point. I was hoping I could attach my Rohn Tower to the existing wouldn't utility pole as its highest attachment point. So in y'alls experience, how many 10ft segments of Rohn 25 can I go above the highest attachment point as a bracket attached to something else like a building for far I would have to have guy cabling? Have you ever seen anyone attach a pair of circularly polarized phased together to a 1" inch extendable Pole? Thanks for helping me think through cheap ways to get more height!

Please see our submission guidelines for more info on our style guidelines and pay rates. Please submit pitches to pitches @radioproject.org A year since the Nov. 8 presidential election Where are we now, and where are we going from here? What have been some of the major policy changes and community, political, popular responses to those changes? Fill in the ___________ with your own curiosity. Prisons and People in Prison What are the stories regarding "re-entry" and the issues or solutions around the lives of people after being released from prison? What organizing is happening in and out of prison to support those recently released.? How do classes and programs inside impact one's ability to smoothly re-enter society? Reproductive Justice How are people working to change the institutional inequities that limit a woman?s freedom to fully live out her sexuality and reproduction as she chooses? We?d like stories that look at those inequities socially and politically. *C*limate Change and Climate Justice We?ve typically focused on political and community responses to traumatic climate change events. This time, we?d like stories that focus on the science behind the impacts of climate change. And, we?re still looking for climate justice stories that explore how gender, language, class, and race affect responses to climate change related events. +++ Making Contact a weekly radio show and podcast that takes on ongoing local, national, and global issues. We?re seeking sound-rich stories with ear-grabbing characters, interesting angles, and solid facts. We encourage you to explore grassroots solutions and the ways communities are organizing.

(hate to do all that work building a library table and then a crashing HDD means I have to do it alllll over again!) -Where is the Genre labe box? for music -Can we add other characteristics of music like the Music Genome Project to program Rivendell to use? -External Hardware support means I can bring in audio from a stream like our local City Council or County Board of Supervisors? -Best Guide to read more on that? "External Hardware Support (e.g., switchers, GPIO, etc.)" I've noticed for example that when we ripped a CD into Rivendell that it did NOT populate the "Title" field! So maybe THAT is where we would put the Genre and any of the other "Music Genome Project" field categories we might want to program Rivendell to sort by?

My favorite PCI-E sound card is the Asus Xonar DX. It's about $90, so it is not the cheapest. I am tempted to try some of the cheaper Asus cards to see how they compare. This one has 4 outputs, 7.1 full surround, which Rivendell can use as 4 separate outputs, which I do. My preference is to use the "front" for cue, and others for main rdairplay, one for scheduled playout with rdcatch, one for a secondary output from rdairplay. It's a 12 volt card, using a separate power cable, so it has more output, and more input headroom than the cheaper 5 volt cards. Asus makes big claims about how much cleaner it is than the onboard audio. It does sound good, but it is still unbalanced "consumer" levels. At least it's "good consumer" (12 volt), which is better than "cheap consumer" (5 volt). > Does it have to be better than a 5.1 channel in your experience? I get a 7.1 card. A simple card, with just a single output, will work, but Rivendell supports multiple outputs if the card has them. I usually use 4 faders on the console for the computer. One is for the traditional computer things like Audacity. One is the main rdairplay output. One is for "cue" and "rdlibrary". I use a fader for this, which you can put in cue or even on air when you need it. The other is for the playback decks in rdcatch, which can be synced with record decks and can put things like live stuff on the air. > If so, what cards gave the best dynamic range and surge resistance and > impedance mismatch tolerance and good drivers support in Linux especially > Debian ? Most cards worn under ALSA, but some seem to have quirks, and some don't split out the surround as I would like. The digital in and out might be like separate cards, maybe used separately. You need to experiment. I wrote up a technical explanation for some of this here: http://communityradio.wiki/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=radio:soundcard Dynamic range .. look for the extra plug, more voltage, more power, more dynamic range. "impedance mismatch tolerance??" This really isn't a problem. Headroom and levels are the real issue. You can get a higher output level if you need it by adding an external amp, but it really shouldn't be needed in most cases. One case where you might need it is with a so-called pro console designed for +4 inputs that doesn't have gain trims. A more important case where you might need it is to drive the transmitter, which is always designed for the traditional pro +4 average, +24 (or better) peak levels. If you don't have that kind of level the processor probably won't work as well. You might need "balanced" for a long cable. Even most "balanced" sound cards don't do the real pro levels. Some are as low as +4 peak, which is really the cheap 5 volt stuff with an inverter, and they call it balanced. My company http://kaatskit.com makes a quad line amp that can be used for this, or as a distribution amp, or related stuff. It's $75 kit, $150 assembled, 1/3 off if purchased with a console. The other concern is the input. All of the consumer cards have unbalanced inputs designed for relatively low consumer levels. Anything with pro output levels will probably overdrive the input stage, ahead of the volume control. You need to cut it down externally, and figure out how to deal with the unbalanced input from a so-called balanced source. There are at least 3 variants of the balanced outputs from consoles and the like, requiring 3 different ways to deal with how to drive something unbalanced. It could be "floating", like a transformer. Just ground one side. It's easy. This configuration has another advantage in that it breaks ground loops, which are often a problem with unbalanced audio. Some consoles (Kaatskit, some but not all Audioarts) have "active floating" outputs, which mostly you can treat like a transformer. That's "mostly". It doesn't deal with extreme cases like 200 mile phone lines or cases where there is 100 volts between one ground and the other. For that, only a real transformer works. It could be "non-floating", driving both sides hard, forcing balance. In this case, to feed an unbalanced load, you take one side to ground. So your feed is now just plain unbalanced, and prone to ground problems. If you ground one side you could damage it. It could be "impedance balanced", which forces impedance balance, but drives only one side. It works great feeding a balanced input. Feeding an unbalanced input it works just like unbalanced. This is common on the "band" mixers. (Behringer, Mackie, Soundcraft, etc.) The one you need to watch, the least flexible, is the non-floating balanced that is used on a lot of pro equipment. You may need to add an amp in line to get the noise down. Anyway .. back to the original question .. I like the Asus Xonar DX. Asus motherboards with the 6 audio jacks work good too, but at the lower "5 volt" levels. On calibration, setting the levels on the sound card .... Usually what works best is to set everything to "0 db". Sometimes (usually for playback) this is all the way up. Sometimes (usually for "capture") all the way down. Sometimes it's in the middle. This is deluxe.

I've since listened to several of the archives on its Soundcloud page: https://soundcloud.com/speaking-truth-to-empire. I asked Dan whether he uploaded his show to Audioport and he said he didn't know what I was talking about though he's been producing the show since 2007. I suggested that he ask the KFCF station manager for a password, but now he says that the station manager told him that KFCF can only download from Audioport, not upload, and didn't give him a password. This may have to do with the relationship between the programmer and the manager and/or their communications, but is there a way to help Dan upload his show to Audioport?

This is the third in a row hosted by a new LPFM that exists because of that "low-power coup". _______________________________________________ grc mailing list grc at maillist.peak.org http://maillist.peak.org/mailman/listinfo/grc From 26ftasl at gmail.com Sat Sep 23 09:18:23 2017 From: 26ftasl at gmail.com (John Halpin) Date: Sat, 23 Sep 2017 12:18:23 -0400 Subject: [grc] An old schematic In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hello All, We're in need of a schematic drawing for an old Howe 9000 series console.

Thanks, John WHPW From anniegarrison at gmail.com Mon Sep 25 13:24:27 2017 From: anniegarrison at gmail.com (Ann Garrison) Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2017 13:24:27 -0700 Subject: [grc] California prison firefighting story Message-ID: I uploaded a brief news story I produced to the NewsUp section on Audioport. It was about California prisoners on the front line fighting wildfires as slave labor. They're about 1/3 of the California State firefighting force and have at times been as much as half. In 2014, Attorney General Kamala Harris's staff went to court and argued against reducing prison population because it would reduce the state's ability to fight wildfires. After uploading, I realized there was a brief repetition at the beginning of the file that thankfully didn't play on KPFA air. It was an error I'd made before uploading to the KPFA Soundcloud page, then to Audioport. It's now corrected and I imagine the two people who had downloaded it caught it before airing it if they did. This reminded me of one rule that I failed to mention when I gave my news writing workshop at last year's GRC: Once you have the sound file that you want to air, delete any others that might have accumulated in your folders along the way?as you grabbed bits of audio out of another broadcast, renamed the file, whatever. If you have several copies of an audio file, there's a good chance you'll accidentally upload the wrong one. I have found this is true of writing as well. Often I accumulate multiple versions of something I've written in Office or Google Docs folders?edited, proofread, renamed, etc. and then wind up sending the wrong one. It's now part of my process to eliminate all other versions of any writing or radio before e-mailing or uploading it, but I forgot to do that on Sunday.

Thanks, No luck here, but if you come to the Grassroots Radio Conference Oct 6-9 in Albany, I will be presenting a session "Refurbishing old equipment", all about how to approach things like this. Traditional analog mixers really all have a lot in common. If you know a little about circuits, you don't usually need a full schematic. To probe and guess is often good enough. Sometimes you can upgrade them to be much better than they were originally. Anything that age probably needs to have the capacitors replaced. It's less work to build a new one from a kit.

However, as a newbie, I'm not sure if our latest local programming complies. We at KVOY have a locally produced finance program that I hope meets the approval of both the grassroots community and the FCC. If anyone would be willing to listen to a few minutes of Peggy's 29 min. podcast, we would really appreciate your feedback and advice. She is willing to do a 29 minute program once a month, and daily 1 minute spots that should be evergreen.. The first 29 min. one is about Equifax. We will upload to audioport, if these pass muster. Please let me know if these links don't work. I'm not sure of what I'm doing here. One minute CASHFLOW ... https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5FlqJBP_H6KU0s3Y3lKenBmdmVweGRhUlVZY0VqVWhCM2Fv 29 min.

The emergency broadcasting session and "sun powered and weather resistant" session are not at the same time. You can go to both!
