Trump;?neither for or against.? What I am?taking a position on is the trivializing of today's nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System and Wireless Emergency Alert test. In the past few years, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in cooperation with the FCC has developed the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS).? This system has two primary functions, it allows public agencies from the local level to the federal level to originate alerts.? These alerts are then pushed to other users who will receive these alerts for rebroadcast to the public.? The latter includes potential for broadcast stations, standalone devices, video gaming consoles, websites and wireless phones and tablets to receive data that is aggregated from IPAWS for distribution to the public.?? For decades, going back to the old CONELRAD system (and some have even said, before that), there has been a method for the federal government at the level of the Executive Branch (i.e. the Presidential level) to access our radio and television broadcast stations for the dissemination of emergency information of federal importance.? These types of warnings have been referred to as "Presidential Alerts" because they can allow the President to address the nation within 10 minutes during a national emergency. In this modern age of social media, our Nation's leadership has embraced this medium, especially Twitter in order to get non-critical messages out to millions of "followers" including many U.S. citizens.? Both President Trump and former President Obama have used Twitter.? Both Presidents have been criticized for the content of their tweets. In the past few months, there have?been many in the media (mainstream and niche)?and on social media who have rode this dangerous wave of over-analyzing the codified terminology "Presidential Alert" to trivialize the importance of today's test. There have been questions raised on whether the President will break protocol and use the system to send messages of a non-critical national security/civil defense nature (i.e. for political gain).?Today is?not the first nationwide test for emergency alerts, but it is the first for them being delivered through wireless devices.? Instead of trying to be aware of the importance of this system, many have said they would shut off their phones because they "don't want to hear from the President".? Again, I am not taking a?position on the policies, nor conduct of our current President, nor the previous President;?I am just stating the facts regarding the reception to today's emergency alert test. In 2017, less than 50% of all licensed LPFM stations participated in the previous test (down from the previous year).? LPFM needs to improve that this year. All broadcast stations, especially LPFM stations, need to make sure that they have Form One already submitted and Form Two submitted by end of day today after the conclusion of the test and to submit Form Three by mid-November.?? Since the 1950s, the President of the United States has had access to every American through the primary method of electronic media?that they monitor.? For decades, this meant radio and television but now, it also means other methods?that many Americans use for monitoring electronic media, mainly wireless mobile devices.? This is a test, this is only a test.? Hopefully, it will never be more than a test. But if it ever was, then I will be glad its there.? Let's not trivialize this, nor any future tests over some kind of political speculation.? This goes for both sides of the aisle.? ?IPAWS, EAS and WEA should not be political footballs in any way.? They are an important part of our Nation's infrastructure.? Let's treat it that way.

We're the new full-powered radio station, 90.7 on the dial (lucky number, KBOO?) serving Santa Cruz County in California. Our website is up and running at https://ksqd.org and we're hoping to be on the air next month! We have some existing knowledge from programmers who used to be at other stations (such as now-defunct KUSP) and lots of new talent! Our mission is "to build community through quality broadcasts, podcasts, training programs and community events that celebrate the uniqueness of Santa Cruz County." Great to meet you all!

Thank you for GRC 2018. I want to express appreciation for all the very hard work, dedication, and good will given to nurture our community radio family. As always, the conference was beautiful - no, *gorgeous*. And thank you to every person whose conversation and input was so nourishing and informative. And also those of you I know and love but never got around to speaking with you. It was good just to see you. Sunday night, after the conference, I got together with an old friend from my distant past. After having pizza and conversation, while walking to my car, I ran into some conference folks skulking around the front of a bar. You know what? It was such a great feeling of reassurance and relief to join them and know these people are my present. These folks. These are the ones I want to talk to and be with.

I also posted a news report about it to the Audioport, which six Pacifica affiliate producers have downloaded. I think that KBOO News Director Theresa Mitchell aired a version I shared with her too. (And bty, meeting Theresa in Portland was delightful; I just wish we'd had more time to talk.) The Pacifica National Board is not unanimous in its support for Wikileaks and Julian Assange, but a board majority is. In February the membership of DiEM25 (Democracy in Europe 2025)?an organization founded by Yanis Varoufakis, Sre?ko Horvat, and other proponents of real democracy in Europe?voted 80% to 20% to support Assange and keep him on the organization's advisory council, but no outlet I could turn up reported it. I would have if I'd known that they voted on it back in February, but I'd gotten on their website when it was under discussion and found it so difficult to navigate that I gave up, and no one sent me the press release after they voted. Seems to be easier to navigate the DiEM25 site now, but that vote is 8 months old, old news. Doesn't mean it's not worth discussing in another format. https://diem25.org/diem25-calls-all-progressives-to-support-julian-assanges-bid-for-freedom/ -- For real, @AnnGarrison Independent Journalist, SKYPE: Ann Garrison, Oakland 415-503-7487 From simon at kmud.org Wed Oct 17 16:55:15 2018 From: simon at kmud.org (Simon Frech) Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2018 16:55:15 -0700 Subject: [grc] Story on community station in Lake County, California Message-ID: Last week?s California Report from KQED had this story about our friends in Lake County, CA: When Fire Strikes, Lake County Turns to an Old Technology for Information KPFZ is the only community radio station rural in Lake County.
