N9OGL,
Helo Ashley,


Instead of wasting your time, effort & money on a pirate TV station,
fighting the FCC (our ACA isn't much better btw) why not volunteer
your time
and expertise to the local community radio and television stations as
I do?
Not only could you broadcast what you want, you could help save the
community station thousands of dollars by carrying out free
maintained and
repairs. I leave my broadcasting to broadcast services and amateur
to
amateur.


Our community has one FM broadcast station and no television station.
The local station will not allow you go in and run a show on their
station. My group in the 90's tried starting a low power tv station for
the purpose of allowing people in the community to use it. unlike
someone (K4YZ) who thinks it's all about me.
We also have a "Public Access" channel unfortunately the cable
company has complete control over it. (something they are not allowed
to do) My group has tried repeatively to get programs on the public
access channel (including programs from the University of Illinois and
the University of Chicago) but the cable company refuses to allow us
access to the channel. We complain to the city and the cable comes back
say Oh we will give you access but lets wait for a few months and we
will call you. when the few months are up the proccess starts all over
again.



And two questions for US ppl on he 1) Why does the cable channel
control
community television? In Melbourne UHF Ch 31 is community tv, and is
run by
Melbourne's Uni's as an independent organisation.


Public Access channels are created through the franchise agreement.
Cable companies are not allowed to have any editorial control over the
channel. However, there are some cable companies and in some places
local governments who censor and "control" the access channel.



2) Why does the ARRL handbook list cable channels on your free-to-air
tv
bandplan. Yes, we have cable tv, but our system is ABC 2 (VK's BBC),
HSV 7,
GTV 9, ATV 10, SBS 28 & UNI 31 on the normal tv (just plug an antenna
into
the set and tune) plus cable via Coax (Fox only downunder). If I
wanted to
do a show on Channel 31, I could, what's broadcast is up to Uni's
Student
Union, not a tv company.

Perhaps by 'time travel' N9OGL is referring to the fact that when USA
hams
QSOs with hams Down Under or in New Zealand you are speaking to us
tommorow
and we are speaking to you yesterday


Technical your right there I remember getting off work at 5.00 pm
and getting on the radio and talk to a guy in Japan who was on his way
to work, it was 7.00 am the next day there. The "time travel" I was
talking about will be posted on my invention blog along with
explainations of some of my other idea's these so-called hams bad
mouth.




PS N9OGL: To run even a 10% successful television, print or radio
show/program/station/publication you must first learn that there is a
certain 'way' of operating broadcast to amateur, the 'hype' factor I
call
it, but for this to be effective requires a well-spoken, educated,
grammatically correct (or incorrect on purpose for desired effects,
not just
because you can't spell) (just watch your nightly news or listen to
the
radio, not the content, but how that content is presented) (Almost
all media
outlets use a book called a "Style Book" which maintains content and
how
that content is presented for all media formats in that organisation)

Also, you'll need to get much better at punctuation, as punctuation
is
expression. If you are one of those guys who at school read mono-tone
then
you haven't a hope. Remember the kid that reads with expression
(usually
resulting in getting teased and laughed at hi hi) usually go on to be
radio
announcers, journalists, etc. And punctuation, grammar, spelling and
expression go hand in hand.

Example: (From "To Kill A Mocking Bird" by Harper Lee).

With Expression: "Jem heard me. HE THRUST HIS HEAD AROUND THE
CONNECTING
DOOR. As he came to my bed Atticus's light flashed on. We stayed
where we
were until it went off; we heard him turn over and we waited until he
was
still again"

Without: "Jem heard me. He thrust his head around the connecting
door. As he
came to my bed Atticus's light flashed on. We stayed where we were
until it
went off; we heard him turn over and we waited until he was still
again"

Also, I read in the posts about you 'getting upset' at the editing of
the
context of your program. Rather than call it 'censorship', and
complain, do
what any journalist worth his/her salt would do, re-word your show to
still
have the same impact and meaning without the profanity.

You should also note, that NOT swearing is more effective THAN
swearing.
Example: you start your show tonight and include lot's of 'hells'
'dams'
'****' etc, and people watch. Ten years down the track same thing.
But, if
you didn't swear for ten years at all, then one day came on air and
said
"This is bull****" it would be 200% more effective.

Who out there knows someone who never swears? How shocked are you
when
"That's ####ed" come out of thier mouth, as opposed to someone who
uses it
as every second word. The former has such an impact as most people
will
interpret that as "He's really annoyed," "Whatever they did must have
been
pretty bad for him to use the f word. Whereas in the latter, it's
just
"There goes that gutter mouthed lout again"

Having worked, albiet briefly, for the Herald & Weekly Times
(Rupert's first
company, and the one that started News Ltd & Fox) every employee is
given a
book which contains information on how certain articles and other
issues are
to be dealt with by the journalist. Example alright-those that allow
this
word into our media will be made to write "all right" 1000 times.
(p.16, HWT
Style Book, 8th Ed, 9/1990)

I, too will be starting an on-air news bulletin, two in fact. One on
the
local community station, about amateur radio and a brief amateur
bulletin
for amateurs only who can call in to the studio (when I'm there) via
amateur
radio and go 'on air' with thier thoughts to help promote AR (instead
of
using the phone). This won't happen until I have co-ordinated a
frequency to
use with the local amateur club. Perhaps, N9OGL I could send/show you
the
correct way to format/run a newscast of any description.

N9OGL, if you have an Echo or IRLP node nearby would you like me to
connect
to it and give a demonstration on this. No point having a broadcast
of any
description until you have the fundamentals in place-grammar,
pronunciation,
spelling, don't bother, it's hard enough to capture a (any) audience
with
these traits.

I'm usually on echolink, my repeater is also tied into it. The echolink
on the repeater is off by my personal station is up.

I've have this Idea for a "simple" Time Machine. A operator would
set up
a computer up to a high power wireless system. They would then set
the
computer to transmit a message say in 30 years and hope that in
thirty
years someone would reply back. comments?

Its unlikely that your setup would still be functional 30 years
from now.

The Answer to your first question is yes. A computer hooked to a
TNC
(which is a wireless modem) is set up with a timing system. Most
"Packet" software for wireless communication has a timer system in
it.
It's part of the software. Why wait so long for the signal to
transmit?
because you want to be able to send the signal to a time period
where
high speed communication systems are in general uses.

The systems in use then may not be compatible.

Scientist are now
just experimenting with high speed communication devices. For a
person
to send a signal back in time they would have to uses a high speed
communication devices. Just remember it is a lot easier to sent a
particle or a signal through time then it is human or an object.

Its impossible to send anything through time.

On your
second comment about time travel via the human brain. I believe
not only
"time-travel" is possible via the human brain but I also believe
while a
person is a sleep the electro-magnetic emissions of say your brain
is
connected to the multi-you in every parallel universe. The only
time
your able to view those other universes is while your Brainwaves
are at
the lowest point of the spectrum (around 1 to 14 hz) This also
might
explain
NDE.

No technology can overcome the fact that there is nowhere to travel
to.
