Dielectric Premieres DCR-E Antenna

Radio World - Mon, 03/25/2024 - 05:00

Dielectric says its new DCR-E FM antenna fills the gap between its lowest-power DCR-T model and higher-power DCR-C, DCR-M, DCR-S and DCR-U ring antennas, bringing many of the design and performance characteristics to radio stations that need input power ratings up to 4 kW per bay.

The DCR-E element is based on the DCR-T, which means that the company can produce DCR-E antennas under tight deadlines. The common parts of the two antennas allow Dielectric to minimize parts inventory, passing cost savings to customers and making the DCR-E affordable for all FM budgets. 

The most notable design difference of the DCR-E is a pressurized balun, which increases its power rating by four times in comparison to the DCR-T. 

As with other DCR antennas, the DCR-E is lightweight, with a robust structure and low windload, increasing reliability, simplifying maintenance and reducing stress on tower and/or building structures. The design architecture is scalable to 12 bays, with each bay weighing 18 pounds, making traditional mounting and installation simple. 

The DCR-E offers stackable bay designs in center- or end-fed configurations, flexible wavelength spacings, and null fill and beam tilt options. Optional radomes protect the DCR-E from icing and other weather-related damage.

Davicom Launches the Neuro Series

Radio World - Mon, 03/25/2024 - 05:00

Davicom offers an ecosystem of remote site management products for broadcasters. At the NAB Show, it will show Neuro, a new rackable box that allows you to mix and match GPIO boards to give you the I/O count you need.

The box occupies one rack unit and is three inches deep. The GPIO boards are inserted into five independent slots in the chassis. Available boards are the NIO-8A for eight analog inputs, NIO-8D for eight digital inputs and the NIO-5R for five relay outputs.

The Neuro can be ordered with various combinations of NIO boards to allow for a maximum of 40 analog inputs, 40 digital inputs or any combination in between. (One Neuro can accept a maximum of two NIO-5R boards. In this case, the three other slots can be populated with combinations of NIO-8A and NIO-8D boards.)

The compact Neuro can be used for any application where general-purpose I/O (GPIO) is required. Sensor readings and status inputs can be monitored and used to automatically control actions on output relays.

The unit’s operating firmware includes Jobs (or State Machines) that detect input conditions and initiate specific combinations of actions. Math functions can calculate VSWR, averages, decibels and other parameters. Schedulers and timers can trigger events or actions. Counters can compile events and trigger alarms. These operations can be combined or cascaded to produce smart functions at remote sites. Network pings are also included.

The Neuro has a built-in SNMP agent to allow monitoring and control (via GETs, SETs and TRAPs) from a central SNMP manager, such as Davicom’s Cortex Series.

Applicant Unable to Overturn Dismissal of New Hampshire LPFM

Radio World - Sun, 03/24/2024 - 08:30

A New Hampshire non-profit was unable to convince the FCC to overturn the rejection of its application from the 2023 LPFM window.

Latino Public Radio hoped to broadcast on 97.9 FM from an antenna site just south of Nashua. It wanted to air news, information, and educational content to the Latino community there.

The FCC Media Bureau dismissed its application in January, saying it would violate second-adjacent spacing requirements in respect to 97.5 WOKQ(FM), a Class B signal licensed to Dover.

The commission said the proposed tower site would be 66 kilometers from WOKQ. Its spacing requirement is 67 kilometers or around 42 miles.

Latino Public Radio submitted a petition for reconsideration at the end of January. It argued that the short-spacing was “merely 30 meters” and said a simple data entry error on the part of its consulting engineer had resulted in the placement of its proposed antenna being too close to WOKQ. It provided an updated set of coordinates that it said would make the application a singleton worthy of the commission’s reconsideration.

But the FCC has denied Latino Public Radio’s request.

It said the original application violated second-adjacent requirements and that the organization had failed to submit a suitable waiver request under the Local Community Radio Act.

The commission also dismissed Latino Public Radio’s coordinate adjustment. It held firm that “errors of technical assistants” are not an excuse for failure to adhere to the rules. The application’s status as a singleton was also not grounds in the commission’s assessment for reconsideration.

As has been the case in several similar dismissed cases from the 2023 window, the commission said it will only consider a petition that points to an error in its original judgment or facts not known at the time the application was filed.

Thus Latino Public Radio’s petition for reconsideration was denied.

Broadcast Radio Offers Hybrid Radio

Radio World - Sun, 03/24/2024 - 05:00

Broadcast Radio, which will exhibit at the NAB Show for the first time this year, said its Hybrid Radio solution is now available for stations that want to blend traditional studio shows with cloud-based radio playout and the option for non-web dependent “edge playout” at point of transmission.

“The Cloud / Studio Hybrid model provides seamless synchronization between studio- based radio software (Myriad Playout 6) and native cloud playout (Myriad Cloud),” it stated.

“Radio shows can be broadcast directly from the studio OR from the Myriad Cloud system with further contribution from remote sources or presenters, either live or voice tracked, available regardless of where the show originates.”

It said the new Myriad Edge application offers an extra dimension to the concept by introducing a lightweight “headless” daemon that synchronizes content and schedule from the Cloud / Studio Hybrid but plays all content locally, even if the web connection is unavailable. 

Myriad Edge also includes synchronized station Clocks and Rules, allowing it to schedule content as required in the event of a prolonged loss of internet service. Myriad Edge can be positioned in radio control rooms or at transmission sites with intermittent internet access.

The company also will be adding Myriad DR to the Hybrid range. This allows stations to maintain a “warm” backup of content and schedule, which is automatically synchronized in near real-time from their main broadcast site. In the event of an emergency or planned maintenance, the system can take over broadcasting duties.

Special Glasses Won’t Help in an “Internet Eclipse”

Radio World - Sat, 03/23/2024 - 05:00

Radio World’s “Guest Commentaries” section provides a platform for industry thought leaders and other readers to share their perspective on radio news, technological trends and more. If you’d like to contribute a commentary, or reply to an already published piece, send a submission to radioworld@futurenet.com.

The author is the founder of Information Station Specialists — theRADIOsource.com, which makes specialized components for broadcasters and Traveler’s Information Stations for government agencies.

On April 8, the moon’s shadow will slice an arc across North America from Mexico to Maine. Some 3.7 million eclipse enthusiasts are expected to crowd that 120-mile-wide corridor to view “totality” before turning to depart in a mass exodus.

But no one will part this sea of vehicles. Gridlock is inevitable. First-responders expect to have difficulty reaching those who need help. It’s anticipated that food, fuel and medical services could be in short supply. Three counties in Texas have already issued local states of emergency, preparing for a doubling of their populations in the days around the event.

But worse could be the communications gridlock. The eclipse will happen where it happens, without regard for cell-tower-capacity. Cellular services — especially in lower-capacity areas — may overload, leaving both travelers and residents without the ability to make calls. Cellular is the gateway to the internet, especially for those on wheels. When it is maxed out, everything from the delivery of wayfinding assistance, to weather warnings, to emergency notices could be impacted.

Broadcasters have a unique opportunity to stand in the gap. That fact is recognized even internationally, with the U.N.’s UNESCO agency recently identifying broadcasters as a “vital lifeline” and encouraging the worldwide “protection of emergency radio frequencies for the public dissemination of vital information.”

Closer to home, this reality is amplified by bipartisan support for the “AM for Every Vehicle Act,” requiring all automobiles sold in the United States to have AM radio receivers conspicuously in their dashboards. The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Josh Gottenheimer of New Jersey, has predicted, “It’s on its way to becoming law.” Until passage, Gottenheimer is calling on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to require automakers to label vehicles without AM receivers as “unsafe in certain emergencies.”

Local public safety officials see the need for communications resiliency clearly. Four counties near Indianapolis — Hendricks, Morgan, Shelby and Boone — have stepped up, instituting their own Travelers Information Radio Stations (TIS) not only for the eclipse, but in anticipation of future wireless service outages.

Morgan County has installed a higher-efficiency AM antenna to bolster their signal coverage over Interstate 69, which parallels the eclipse-path through the county. Shelby and Hendricks Counties will also stream their TIS radio programming to the internet: PCs and network-connected devices are less likely to be affected by service volume than mobile phones. 

Disruption of wireless service is more often the result of a natural disaster than an eclipse. The recent lengthy outage on Maui is a case in point. But a cyberattack due to malicious activity or war could be way worse. It could eclipse not only the wireless infrastructure but the internet itself, presenting the potential to be dramatically more devastating. Its duration, its scope and its geography could be massive in comparison. 

Just one month ago, a congressional committee was reminded that bad actors in other countries are targeting our infrastructure, intending to cause “real-world harm” to U.S. citizens. Jen Easterly, director of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), advised the committee that Americans need to prepare for an unexpected cyberattack. 

Consider how your broadcast company, your safety agency and you yourself can aid in awareness and preparation. Unlike a natural phenomenon, this approaching shadow is not one that can be predicted to the second. But, as our leaders are advising, it can be predicted.

Could Sacramento’s PBS Member Station Assume ‘CapRadio’ Control?

Radio+Television Business Report - Fri, 03/22/2024 - 15:40

In late September 2023, operations of the noncommercial spoken word and fine arts-focused stations under the CapRadio brand fell under the control of California State University-Sacramento. The move came after the school’s audit of CapRadio’s fiscal health found “substantial problems.”

The financial and operational struggle hasn’t ebbed, and the public broadcaster’s endowment leaders have proposed a wholesale transfer of control of CapRadio. Who should become the new licensee? Look no further than the PBS Member station serving the Sacramento-Stockton-Modesto market.

As first reported by Streamline Publishing’s Radio Ink, Sacramento State is being asked to transfer its assets to the parent of KVIE-6, the PBS Member station with some 60,000 contributors providing it with 49% of its operating revenue. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting supplies KVIE with 11% of the dollars needed to operate in a fiscal year.

While the endowment suggests that Sacramento State part ways with its radio stations, the University has shown no inclination toward relinquishing CapRadio despite its openness to begin a dialogue with KVIE.

With KQED and KDFC to the west in the San Francisco Bay area and Valley Public Radio to the south in Fresno and Bakersfield, CapRadio covers a wide swath of the northern San Joaquin Valley. Spoken word programming can be heard on KXJZ-FM 90.9 in Sacramento and on repeater FMs in Quincy, Stockton and Tahoe City, Calif. The Classical programming is based at KXPR-FM 88.9 in Sacramento and rebroadcast on stations licensed to Groveland and Sutter, Calif.; an FM translator brings coverage to the City of Merced.

These 7 facilities are in financial distress due to what the school’s audit found to be significant financial mismanagement, including unauthorized loans exceeding $1.1 million, mismanaged credit cards, and unapproved acceptance of gifts. An investigation revealed a sharp increase in the station’s liabilities, soaring from about $5.5 million to over $27.2 million within a year.

The endowment’s letter to Sacramento State President Luke Wood, obtained by McClatchy Co. flagship publication The Sacramento Bee, underscores a collective desire among major donors for a sustainable path forward, emphasizing the potential benefits of a merger for the station, the university, and the local community. The Capital Public Radio Endowment owns $4 million in assets, including a transmission tower and land.

FCC’s EEO Audits Begin

Radio+Television Business Report - Fri, 03/22/2024 - 15:23

Are you among the lucky 5% of radio station owners who will randomly receive an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) audit for 2024? You’ll soon find out, as the FCC Enforcement Bureau has initiated its first round of verification checks.

Stations that end up on the audit list must submit their EEO compliance documentation to the FCC’s online public inspection files by May 6. A template of the audit letter is available on the FCC website for reference along with the EEO rules.

As a reminder, the Enforcement Bureau will not send out completion letters post-audit — a change that was seen in 2023 for the first time. Instead, stations will be contacted directly only if further inquiries or issues arise during the audit.

Failure to meet EEO audit requirements or to provide necessary documentation could lead to enforcement actions from the FCC. Penalties vary based on the violation’s gravity and the station’s compliance history and may range from fines to license revocation or refusal of renewal.

Additionally, stations might be obligated to adopt new EEO policies or practices and undergo future compliance monitoring.

As part of FCC Chairwoman Rosenworcel’s crackdown on stations in violation of EEO requirements, the Enforcement Bureau has been doling out fines for stations not adhering to the policies. A recent and costly example includes a $25,000 fine against nine Kansas stations then-owned by Monte and Doris Miller’s Rocking M Media.

Cut Out These Words To Speak Clearly

Radio+Television Business Report - Fri, 03/22/2024 - 12:00
When you speak, are you clear, concise, and confident? In this column, public speaking professional Rosemary Ravinal explores the impact of “these seemingly innocuous words and how their casual use might unintentionally dilute the power of your words and the way you are perceived.”

 

By Rosemary Ravinal

Like it or not, we judge other people by the way they speak. Is the person clear, concise, and confident? Or are they long-winded, disorganized, and caught in a verbal maze of unnecessary words?

One telltale sign of the latter is the bad habit of using words that clutter and confuse instead of magnifying the meaning of your message. Words such as actuallyreally, and like often find their way into your speech, acting as linguistic accessories that can weaken your communication.

English has an arsenal of features of speech that don’t directly contribute to meaning.  You may know them as those pesky filler words, e.g. um, ah, you know.  Add the words actuallyreally, and like to the list. Linguists call them discourse markers which signal to the listener the organization, structure, or direction of a conversation. They help to convey the speaker’s attitude and indicate relationships between ideas.

There are good discourse markers such as those that enumerate (rank and order) ideas: firstfinally, and in conclusion. There are useful causation (why) markers that amplify statements:  becausesinceas a result, and therefore. And there are those that obscure your intended meaning.

Let’s explore the impact of these seemingly innocuous words and how their casual use might unintentionally dilute the power of your words and the way you are perceived.

There are approximately 170,000 unique English-language words in current use, yet the average person uses between 20,000 to 40,000 of them. Being aware of your language choices is the first step towards more effective communication. By consciously selecting words that align with your intended tone and message, you can communicate with greater clarity and authority.

Here’s why you should use the trio of weak words sparingly:

The illusion of precision.

The words actually, really, and like are often used to add emphasis or provide clarification. While they may seem harmless, their overuse can create the illusion of uncertainty. Consider the sentence, “I actually enjoyed the movie.” The use of actually suggests an unexpected element but also implies that the speaker’s enjoyment was somehow surprising. This can undermine the straightforward expression of opinions and dilute the strength of the statement. Say “I enjoyed the movie” to express your sentiment more confidently.

Or the use of the adverb actually can gloss over a lack of knowledge or accuracy. Question: “How many units have you sold in the last year? Answer: “We actually sold one million units.” The response may prompt the listener to doubt the validity of the number. The word actually isn’t important to the answer. Why not say:  “We sold one million units?”

The casual overuse of like.

Like has become a ubiquitous filler word in contemporary speech, especially among Gen Z and younger generations. Educators and parents fret that the overuse of like among teenagers makes them sound uneducated and will affect their success in the future. It’s tempting to use like when expressing uncertainty, approximation, or even a pause in conversation. But the frequent and unnecessary habit of the word can make communication sound informal and lack merit. It’s essential to be mindful of its usage to ensure your words carry the weight they deserve.

Perceived lack of thought.

When used excessively, really may dilute the meaning of a statement. It often serves as an intensifier, but if everything is described as really something, it can become unclear, and exaggerated, and make your speech sound less polished. “Our financial performance last quarter was really great.” Why not say, “Our financial performance last quarter was exceptional.” If someone consistently uses really (put very in the same category) without offering substantial content or depth to their statements, it might give the impression that they haven’t put much thought into what they’re saying or are unsure about their information.

To strengthen communication, choose words that add value to our sentences, and work towards more precise and confident expression. Analyze your own speaking and observe if you use these words often. If you do, then create a mental alarm or ask friends and colleagues to keep you in check so you don’t inadvertently lose credibility and authority when you speak.

Federal Register: FCC (Broadcasting) - Fri, 03/22/2024 - 00:00
This document amends the Table of FM Allotments, of the Federal Communications Commission's (Commission) rules, by reinstating certain channels as a vacant FM allotment in various communities. The FM allotments were previously removed from the FM Table because a construction permit and/or license was granted. These FM allotments are now considered vacant because of the cancellation of the associated FM authorizations or the dismissal of long-form auction FM applications. A staff engineering analysis confirms that all of the vacant FM allotments complies with the Commission's regulations. The window period for filing applications for these vacant FM allotments will not be opened at this time. Instead, the issue of opening these allotments for filing will be addressed by the Commission in subsequent order.
