I'm compiling a table for shy people of stations in various cities
that carry PHC. Do you think the net.Shy.People can come up with all
the stations, times and cities faster than we could get the info from
GK or Public Radio?
Come on all you shy people, I know you're out there. Just add your
station to the table and either post it to the net or e-mail to me.
If you post to the net, BTW, the folks who think net.wobegon is too thin
will see just how many of us there really are.
Which stations carry APHC? And how's this for a layout, SP?

Important comments not necessarily having to do with APHC.
1) Why is there no station in Washington, DC that carries AM
Weather? If there is, it's not mentioned in the Washington
Post.
2) The mention of KUSC, Los Angeles, reminded me of the radio play
"Star Wars" staring Luke Skywalker (What's 'is real name?) himself.
I have all the episodes of the 13 part series of Star Wars on
cassette. There was also a radio play of "The Empire Strikes
Back". Does anyone out there have it recorded?

Correction: If you tune in 93.1 in Miami, you'll get classical music station WTMI. The correct frequency for WLRN is 91.3. By the way, has anybody noticed that public radio stations always seem to be around 90 or 91 MHz? My own experience in Miami, New York, Orlando, Chicago, LA, etc. have shown this, as do the stations shown on the tuning table posted earlier. Whenever I am in a city where I have never been before, I always tune in that area and always manage to find a public radio station. If this is completely true, it makes the tuning table unnecessary. Does anyone know a reason for this? Is it cheaper to broadcast in that frequency range, or is there an FCC regulation? Jonathan Traum

A couple of things: First, in Madison, Wisconsin, one can hear APHC on Saturdays at 5pm on WERN 88.9FM. In fact, you can hear it on just about any Wisconsin Public Radio station in the state at that time. If you miss it on Saturday, you can hear it on Sunday at 1pm (approx... I'm not positive) on WHA 970AM. Second, yes, the FCC has reserved all FM frequencies between 88 and 90Mhz for use by public/community radio stations. It does make it nice when travelling, since you can find a public (if not NPR) station with relative ease. -Eric Feigenson ericf@wisc.rsch.edu

The FCC reserves a small band (from 88 to 92MHz, I *think*) for non-commercial stations. This is not a hard and fast rule: Older stations which were already operating in this band when the rule was passed (in the late sixties, I believe) were allowed to continue, and I think that if a commercial station acquires a non-commercial station, it may continue to use the frequency. The rule only works one way: non-commercial stations may use any bandwidth which they are able to obtain. Some of this is explained in Lorenzo Milam's wonderful, hard-to-find book, "Sex & Broadcasting," about how to organize and operate a non-commercial radio station, and how to harass your commercial competitors. -- Richard Hoffman | "They sought it with thimbles, they sought it with care, Schlumberger WS | They pursued it with forks and hope; hdsvx1!hoffman | They threatened its life with a railway share, 713-928-4750 | They charmed it with smiles and soap."
