Subliminal message to stop puffers

DALLAS (AP) - A male voice softly explaining why listeners should stop pulling is a radio station's subliminal ellbrt to get people to quit the smoking habit. KMEZ AM-FM will broadcast

the subliminal messages simulta- oc-il,~.~:;. with regular music Thursday at bur pre-announced times as part of the American Cancer Society's Great American Smokeout. -~~~~

Station ollicials say listeners should not be consciously aware of the faint-voiced messages embedded in the music.

"It doesn't say 'don't smoke,' over and over again. The man is there reasoning with you why you shouldn't smoke," KMEZ Program Director Ken Loomis said Tuesday.

"People have tried anything to quit smoking - holding their breath, being hypnotized, eating candy," he said. 'More and more people are starting to buy these tapes."

The eight-minute measages by the casy listening stntion do not violate the law because listenen will be told in advar!:? of the r;wrdlrigs, Loomis said. IIe said stntion attorneys checked previous Federal Communicationo Commission rulings before decid- ing to run the messages.

Tlir FCC considers paid advertising carrying subliminal messages to be against the public interest, said John Kamp of the F(!C's Washington ollice.

FCC Amends AM Technical Rules

The FCC has amended its AM technical rules to allow certain Class Ill daytime-only AM stations on regional channels and on 940 kHz and 1550 kHz to operate on a fulltime basis, pro- vided their operation complies with applicable interference protection re- quirements.

The daytimers will be allowed to operate during nighttime hours with a maximum power of 500 watts, reduced as necessary to avoid interference with existing fulltime stations.

Stations proposing to modify their li- censes to include nighttime operation have been issued a Show Cause Order by the FCC and will not be required to file an application. The permissible nighttime power level is included in the Show Cause Order.

The FCC mll no longer authorize dayhme-only stations on the regional channels and on 940 kHz and 1550 kHz, and hes reduced the generally applicable min~mum power for unlimited- t~me Class Ill stations on regional channels to 250 watts. lZ

U.S. and Cuba have agreed to resume talks aimed at reducing technical interference that has long been source of complaint by American AM stations, particularly in Southeast. U.S. and Cuba, in statements released simultaneously in Washington and Havana on Friday, said negotiations conducted in secret in Mexico City had succeeded in "delinking" radio issue from talks on resuming 1984 Marie1 migration agreement. Two sides have agreed to resume immediately implementation of migration agreement, under which Cuba has agreed to take back almost 3,000 undesirables who arrived in U.S. in 1980 Marlel boat lift, while U.S. processes applications of those eligible to enter country. Cuba ended talks in May 1985 after U.S.'s Radio Marti began broadcasting news and entertainmnent programs to Cuba. Statement said talks on radio interierence will be conducted "in strict accordance with international Iaw, including applicable radio law and regulations." U.S. maintains that Cuban stations causing interference are in violation of international law. State Department official said resumption of Mariel agreement will not compromise Radio Marti operations. Agreement will have "no consequences" for Radio Marti, which, he said, has been doing "an excellent job." B R N E ~ S ~ I J B PM- rB

Afler all. "Aryan Nations Hour" is arriving shortly alter two neo-Nazis were convicted in Denver o l violat i Ing lhe civil rlghts o l Jewish radio talk-show host Alan Berg by murder- Ing lum.

KZZI is a talk.radio smorgashord whose call-in shows range from an hour hosted by a psychlc I n one hosted by the polygnmg-preaching "prophet o l the eighth dispensa- tlnn "'The executioll 1s rudimentary. the dlvers~ty admirable.

Yet how does a racist "Aryan Na- lions Hour" get on the air? And what dangerous and ~nflammatory mes. sages does 11 convey to those Ilsten. ers who share or could be swayed by ~ t s philosophy'

"I don't want lhis message on the alr I t plants Ihe seeds of potenl~al VIO-

Agreeing is the Simon Wlesenthal Center in Los Angeles. which has written members o l Congress about KZZI. speculating that broadcast de. regulation 'has opened its door too wide lor the bigots and racists."

Those blgots and racists - not lour-leller words - are the true broadcast obscemlles

t r i p , we had t o f ly f r m New Orleans t o Miami, a s no t r a i n d e s t h a t run. Miami is very hot and h d d . We took a run up t o Fort Lauderdale that evening where we found the Lransmitter s i t e for WVS-1170, i n the middle of a t r a i l e r park ( there a r e a l o t of t r a i l e r l a rks here) , an often-sold, often s i l e n t Spanish language s ta t ion which ID'S fo r Fort iauderdale - Davie - Miami Beach, Miami.

WSRF is an ethnic s ta t ion and the seven t m e r s share a f i e l d with horses, cows, and a sea of guy wires. The studio building is a hlngle-story s t m c t u r e which a l so houses an FM s ta t ion

Tm days l a t e r , we s e t ou t t o WINZ-940, i n H o l l p x d , where t h e vice-president of (mgineermng, Rich Edwrards, proved t o be mst helpful i n providing infomation for a s ta t ion j 'rofile. An ex-NRC nmkr, Rich designed the wrap-around studio setup - and he m i n t a i n s the physical plant , plus t h e FM, plus the 7-t(;k12r array i n back of the studio. Stay tuned f o r a s ta t ion profi le . Then over t o M - 7 9 0 ' s studios on NE 2nd St., where engineer S+y I'mell gave Kevin and re the canplete tour and supplied i n f m t i o n for a s ta t ion profl le .

Next t o Detroit, the Miami . ~ r e a has m r e e x t r m l y direct ional radio s ta t ions than any where e l s e i n the country.

On the fence a r e signs reading "No Trespassing - radio f a c i l i t y licensed by U. S. G o v e m t " ! Kevin stood on the top of the rented car and got good pictures of a l l three stat ions.

Back t o Miami, v ia t h e four-tckyer s i t e of WWA-1260, another Cuban stat ion. We drove t o the t i p of beautiful Key Biscape, t o the shore, where we could see the mst unusual t r a n s i t t e r s i t e for a s ta t ion in the U. S. A. About a mile offshore is the attended s i t e f o r WRHC-1550, and the Cuban-programtd stat ion. W C broadcasts its 10,000-watt daytim signal from a f o u r - t w r in-line array here. The engineer s tays for tv.u days and is relieved when the boat a r r ives with h i s re l ie f and t o refuel t h e diesel generator which pwrs the t rans i t t e r .

I just bought a copy of the FM Atlas with the idea of get t ing acquainted with area FM offerings and was rather i r r i t a t e d by Dr. Elving's ravings on AM. Sure, FM sounds nice. But I am sure t h a t in the long run there is not only rcan for both AM and FM but a def in i te need for AM i n areas where FM does not do well. Ironic note t o this is t h a t recently I was trying t o l i s t e n t o a s-t of "All Things Considered" on KUSD-FM - a local , about 20 miles away £ram t h e i r t-. My rather feeble Ford radio kept losing the s ta t ion when I

@ turnfd a corner. (Probably m r e t o do with a lousy Ford product than the s ta t ion . ) So I ['unched In WI-640 i n ms, over 200 miles away, and had trouble-free reception. H m a t for I.M! I do enjoy the EM Atlas book because I l i k e anything w i t h exhaustive l i s t s of radio stations, and it has maps and h e l p me ID those AM s ta t ions t h a t refuse t o give AM c a l l s when they simulcast FN.

P. S. Anyone have i n f o m t i o n on how well the K e n 4 R-5000 does on BCB? I read i n a recent review i n m - 8 7 ( I think) t h a t it was poor on BCB. I wonder i f t h a t is due t o an attenuator t h a t could be defeated with a simple d f i c a t i o n . Anyone with personal experience with one, drop m or Musings a note. 1 ' m considering trading my R-71A i n on one and am not sure tha t ' s a wise move for now. ( ~ ' d have t o vote "no", from Wh3t l i t t l e I k n m . The R-71A is a f ine mchine - ~ l s l I i u s t Licked UD a Collins 5154 with its three ~ ...-. - ~ - -

Or maybe an HQ-150.

Dcug Larrerson - 1777 East-West Rd. - HHon~lulu, H I 96848 An update on local radio shenanigans t h a t m y be of sm interes t from

assorted s t i f f s and infomlants: 1t's k e n r e p r t e d elsewhere t h a t new KULA-1460 has Seen test ing with E. This is not the case. KULA is the l a t e s t addition t o Saul ~ e v i n e ' s would-be w i r e (KX-FN WKSHC-540 Hesperia and KRTR-FM/KlGF26 HNL). Presently, KULA has neither xrritr nor tcwer. Originally licensed t o Munawili on O'ahu's Windward side ( s i t e of KRIFJKMX studios) , they've applied for t ransfer t o Honolulu since ( a s they knew a l l along) there 's no mney t o be nmde on t h a t s ide of the is land, a s was so ably d m n s t r a t e d by the still s i l e n t KLEI. The now-proposed location of t h e i r tower is a shopping center parking l o t i n the Kaimuki section of Honolulu. This is news t o the m a n a g m t there, but not a t a l l surprising t o those famil iar w i t h M r . Levine's rethcds. An attorney by training, he's adept a t putting h i s considerable po l i t i ca l s k i l l s t o good purpose with very l i t t l e noise about it. No one yet rea l ly seems t o know how he m g e d t o l m t e the KRlR/KMX xmtrs on s t a t e land atop the ~ o ' o l a u m t a i n range, although h i s canniness i n offering space there t o Hawai'i Public Radio (KHPR-FM) undoubtedly greased the ways. In any event, a t this juncture KULA has t h e frequency and not much else. By t h e i r reckoning they're not l ike ly t o h i t the ether before the end of '88.

KWAT-1080 would l ike t o return under new ownership, but KCCN, whose tcner they previously shared, refuses t o c m p r a t e without serious upfront money. They got burned by previous K W I owners. Meanwhile, KORL-650 and KIJW-1040 m y not be long for t h e a i r in t h e i r present d e s , KllPT because the church t h a t oms them seriously underestimated the costs involved. KORL m y well be shut down by the FCC. The ownership has essen t ia l ly rented its f a c i l i t y t o the o p r a t o r s of KLHI-FM on Maui who are simply using it f o r simulcasting and the expanded m r k e t t h a t provides. The FCC regards this a s an unapproved change of o p r a t o r . Their i r e was further fueled by a recent KORL i n s p c t i o n which revealed no EBS f i l e , no public service f i l e , and no operator on duty. Calls t o t h e i r l i s t e d n m h r s prcduce "disconnected" recordings. Given these curcumstances, I think anyone who pulls a ver ie out of KORL deserves t h e Oknok DX Achievement Award. And, while on t h e subject Of t h e okdurate, the PD a t KLNI-1380 informs t h a t budget and s ta f f l imitat ions preclude responding t o reception reports. He a h i t s he's got "a stack of those thlngs", mostly from m o p and Japan. KIN1 is one of only two direct ionals i n ~ a w a i ' i . They send a figure-8 roughly NE-5W t o protect the FCC monitoring s ta t ion here. KAIN-870 is t h e other. W i t h a null a t 51 degrees t o protect WL, t h e i r 50 kW is probably a longer shot for n o s t of the minland than any of the lower p e r stat ions. Whlle t h e i r studios a r e i n Honolulu, the xmtr is about 30 miles across the channel on Moloka'i, the only xmtr on t h a t island.

A few veries in: KCO, WHAS, FDV-529 (beacon a t N m , AX), and an extraordinary response from WR-860; i n addition t o the v/ l , a tourism brochure, b q r s t icker , pln, and coffee mg. Ken Robertson, the a, says the xmtr is on an is land reached by the only boat i n tile CBC inventory.

Fddenda: Mahalo (thanks) t o Rick Evans for accmKd3ting my request for one of the $39 Supradio 11's he s p t t e d in his local Gocdwill s tore. 1t's a good deal more select ive than the car radio but surprisingly a few dB l e s s sensi t ive. I'm still on the hunt for the DX Dream Machine of my youth, an HQ-180, but they're scarcer than squirrels i n those parts. TU improve the cdds, I 've even engaged a f o m r colleague and underling £ran WAN, now l iving i n ex i le on t h e WC, t o scour the no-doubt boundless radio boneyards there.

=is Soremen - 111 TWm Line - Milton, ON L9T 2x1 I t ' s k e n quite sane time since I l a s t reported. In August I took a

vacation t r i p t o Moosonee, ON, located on the Moose River about 7 miles below James Bay. This is the fur thes t north part accessible by r a i l in Ontario, and it is wll north of the road system. The t a m ' s population i s m i n l y Cree Indians with a few whites. The local

0 radio stat ion, CHMO-1450, i s a oomrunely-owned broadcaster. It has quite a grab-bag f o m t , a s anyone can make arrangements t o care t o the s ta t ion and play t h e i r own records. CIPa) has a power of 50 watts.

Moosonee a l so has a 40-watt LPRT, CBEY-1340 which rebroadcasts CBCS-FM Sudbury. I a l so rioted a Cree Indian language s ta t ion on 89.9 mHz which I believe is o p r a t e d by the Moose Factory Island Indian band. Call l e t t e r s i f any were not given. I have not seen t h i s s ta t ion l i s t e d i n any publication and would appreciate any i n f o m t i o n on it.

On the way up I noted CHUR-840 in North Bay which is generally an English language s ta t ion broadcasting i n French on a Sunday evening. Therefore i f you hear French on 840, don't auturat ical ly ass- you have S t . Lucia!

H e r e i n Milton t h e season 1s off t o a slow start. Recent additions t o the log include 9-3: WOHI-1490 Ohio a t 7:51 p, 10-1: WNNZ-640 MA a t 10:22 pn, and 10-9 W - 1 5 8 0 I N a t 8:59 p. Hopefully things wil l pick up now t h a t colder weather is here.

This past weekend I took p a r t i n an Ontario DX Association DXpedition t o Gravenhurst, a, about 100 mi. N. of Toronto. 1'11 r e p r t my l q g i n g s t o Bil l Hale, but I w i l l rention tha t CFBK-630 i n Huntsville which is scheduled t o go s i l e n t is still on simulcasting with the new CFBK-FN-10 5.5. Get them while you can !

Andy Ilugg, - 669 de Gas@ #218 - Nuns' Island, PQ H3E 1J1 BCB DX got rol l ing in mid-Novanber, w i t h the f i r s t apparance of TA audio

and 4 new domestic logs. The Supradio I1 was quite prcductive on 11-14, with a c a l l c'hange, CFF'X-960 being the f i r s t new log a f t e r 1 am. The second new log was a t SS when I !;tumbled across WXPX-1300 thru pesky WQBK f r m 4:41 t o 4:45 p. Rarely-hmd unns. i n the 111orning were CSRN-710 a t 0052 and h a - 1 5 9 0 a t 1:59. On 11-20, a favorable s e t of circumstances allowed me t o log my 3rd new one, CHIN-720, from 12:OO t o 12:22 am, on the IiC-l8OA and loop. The 4th new log was a t SS on 11-21 when WYSL-1030 squeaked thru WBZ a t 4:45 p s/off on the Superadio 11. TA audio f ina l ly broke thru on 11-21 a f t e r SS, when I lioo~ed up the HQ-180 AC t o my 40 m. longwire and noted Spain on 774 and 1107, Portugal on 1062, and Yugo-1134, a l l just a f t e r 6 pn. This brings m up t o 1697 logs, and it would be trice t o h i t l700 by C h r i s m s . No new veries t o r e p r t . CJSC-1320 s t i l l was on the a i r on 11-21, and I have no idea when they w i l l switch t o W. 73.

so mny stns are returning t o t h e i r original c a l l s ? ) had mved t o Belleville. I s u s p c t t h a t t h e i r transmitter s i t e has not changed since the ear ly days when they were a s a t e l l i t e s ta t ion of KMBC-980 ( u n t i l sometim i n the '60's), a s they announced the s i t e then a s "Cloud County", which is south of Bellevil le . S e a s t o re t h a t they have variously ID'& a s Concordia, Salina, and Wicnita. Thelr non-ID now is K-Faxm.

Can you believe i t ? I 've actual ly heen DX'inq! A few items of note: CFCC-630 has been bcsnbing i n since 11-28 o/KSLR and an XE (no sign of KXOK!). WIND-560 i n several times with MOH SS f o m t sirrular t o KLVE-105.5 LA; I haven't t a p d an I D yet. Caught a nice tape on MH-680 11-29 a t 7 p n , now t h a t I can null KFEQ. KTNN-660 taped ( f o r k 525) a t 6 p 11-30, in st.eady f rm 5:30 p a f t e r KSKY dropped power.

1 've decided t o resume counting tapes from where I l e f t off f i v e years ago, a s cx here are d i f fe ren t on only a few channels, such a s 680 and 710 which put weaker s ignals i n here. However, I ' l l no longer count or even record heards, and the d m e s t i c tapes, a t l eas t , must have two of three of c a l l l e t t e r s , c i t y of l icense, and/or frequency t o count. I still don't count c a l l l e t t e r changes, and it '11 be a cold day . . . never mind. I prefer taking m I e s over 1Bp.r veries for several reasons: I have 100% control over whether or not I get the verie, I know instantly whether o r not I actually got i t , and it is quicker and cheaper (assunling the ready ava i lab i l i ty of tape e q u i p n t ) than wrlting and follcwing up f o r vet-ies. Plus nly e a r l i e s t tapes a r e almost 13 years old now and a r e beginning t o take on
