Subject: Cheap source for broadcast carts?
From: skipper!svaldez@UCSD.EDU (Steve Valdez)
Organization: UCSD Neurosciences
What's the most inexpensive source for med-quality
broadcast carts (i.e. Audiopak, etc.)??? A local
source has priced short lengths at small quantites
at $4.40 each. Unfortunately I don't know of any
other cartridge distributors...

From: Dan.Bammes@m.cc.utah.edu (Dan Bammes)
Organization: University of Utah Computer Center, Salt Lake City, Ut.
The bad news is: Production Genius and generally Great Guy Dave Hull
is still unemployed after being blown out by shortsighted management in
San Luis Obispo.
The good news is: Guy with terrific pipes and unreal skills with 25
years in broadcasting is still available to go to work for you. Better
grab him before he drinks too many margaritas on the beach and decides he
likes that better than working for a living.
Drop me a note and I'll pass it along to him.
Dave's Pal...

True enough, but you can possibly manage to get 9600 bps on each of the
two subcarriers of the FM station (although that's admittedly pushing it
pretty badly with respect to isolation between the two subcarriers). Maybe
even more with trellis modulation. Now all you need is to get another nine
stations to sign up, and divide the signal between them all. (This also
introduces some interesting timing problems on the receive side, since the
transmission delay between all the stations cannot be expected to be constant).
Me, I'd just use the L-band....

Subject: 5oth Anniversary
From: billw68892@aol.com
Organization: NONE
This year "The American Forces Radio and Television Service" is
celebrating its 50th Anniversary. The service is designed to provide
entertainment and a touch of home for American servicemen and women all over
the world. It has served Americans in uniform throughout World War II,
Korea, Vietnam, and most recently, the Gulf War.
Unlike other government broadcast services such as The VOA or Radio Free
Europe, AFRTS sounds much like a commercial stateside station, without the
commercials. It is manned by men and women from all the uniformed services,
Army, Navy, Air Force and
Marines. Some call it "the purple suit" service. Each local station provides
its own programming augmented by shows originated by AFRTS-Los Angeles.
Many well known personalities have donated their time and talents to
provide GI"s in uniform that special "touch of home". Gary Owens, Frank
Bresee, Ruta Lee, Wolfman Jack, and the infamous Dr. Demento have all
recorded shows in the AFRTS studios in Los Angeles for broadcast on the
network.
As you may well imagine, the network has a long and colorful history.
Its most famous World War II show was called "Command Performance" and
featured some of Hollywoods brightest stars including Jimmy Durante, Judy
Garland, Frank Sinatra, and Bob Hope. Many famous people have also served
with the network in uniform. Actor George Kennedy was an AFRTS station
commander,Broaderick Crawford(remember Highway Patrol?), served in Europe.
Gary Crosby, Tommy Cash(Johnnys brother), and Nick Clooney(Rosemarys brother)
have all done stints in front of an AFRTS mike while in military uniform.
The history of Armed Forces Radio has been well documented thanks to a
book published last year by Trent Christman whose career began with what was
to become "The Far East Network" in the early days of World War II. Called
"The Brass Button Broadcasters", the book is a lighthearted look at fifty
years of military broadcasting. I first met Trent when he was a station
manager in Nurenburg, Germany back in the 60"s. It is published by Turner
Publishing in Paducah, Kentucky and contains some great memories along with
pictures and stories about how GI broadcasters managed to keep on the air in
spite of the many difficulties that faced them.
I have a special love for AFRTS, having served with the network in
Germany, Belgium, Taiwan, Korea and Alaska over the years. The military
school for broadcasters is called "The Defense Information School".
Originally located at Ft. Slocum, New York, in the 60"s it was moved to Ft,
Ben Harrison, Indiana. I understand they are scheduled to move again
sometime in 1995, this time to Ft. Meade, Maryland.
Unfortunatly, because of military downsizing, many AFRTS stations have
closed or consolidated their operations. However, I"m confident that the men
and women serving with AFRTS will continue on in the proud tradition of
bringing a touch of home to American GIs
wherever in the world they may be stationed.
So here"s a great big SALUTE to all the men and women who have made
"The American Forces Radio and Television Service" a broadcasting legand.

Subject: NAFTA vote - appropriate song and quote
From: Liron Lightwood <liron@zikzak.apana.org.au>
Organization: NONE
Bill (and anyone else who reads this).
As the vote on NAFTA draws near, where free trade vs protctionism,
here is a song which is quite appropriate - 'The border' by Little
River Band. Perhaps someone might want to use it as a memorable quote. or
request this song on the radio, etc.
The last lines of the song go like this:
They built a wall at the border
Not to keep us out, but to keave no doubt...
They're out of order.
The Little River Band were a mainstream Australian pop band who had some
US chart success in the early 1980's. 'The Border' was released as a
single around 1981 or 1982.
